Author’s Acknowledgements
I would like to thank several people for their involvement in this book:
rstly, thanks to Steve Edwards and all the team at Wiley who worked on
the project, and to Samantha Spickernell for her enthusiastic support of the
original idea. I would also like to thank my mother for her support and the
loan of her spare room to use as a library, and my partner Samantha for
putting up with me once again spending hours in the solitary activity of
writing. Special thanks too are due to the very talented Sarah Shade for the
tremendous illustration of a Viking ship that appears in Chapter 8.
Finally, I would like to thank the students at Richmond Adult Community
College whom it was my pleasure to teach between 1998 and 2007. As a group
they reignited by my interest in the Medieval World and their enthusiasm,
ideas and desire to make the connections between so many disparate places
and peoples played a big part in my thinking for this book.
