Description

This scholarly work examines whether ancestor ideology formed an integral part of Viking Age and early medieval Scandinavian religion, challenging the assumption that ancestor worship is merely an outdated primitive tradition. Using a broad socio-anthropological perspective, the book structures detailed case studies analysing the cults of specific individuals found in Old Norse literature, providing fresh insight into how ancestor veneration shaped religious and social practices among Scandinavian elites during this transformative historical period.

Key Features

Explores ancestor worship as a central religious concept in Viking Age and early medieval Scandinavia through rigorous scholarly analysis.

Combines socio-anthropological theory with case studies of individual cults documented in Old Norse literary sources.

Challenges modern European assumptions about ancestor ideology being primitive or irrelevant to historical religious practices.

Part of the Studies in Medieval History and Culture series published by Routledge, offering academic credibility and specialised depth.
