Description

Explore the origins of Scandinavian leadership in this historical study by Routledge. The book examines how tribal Scandinavia transitioned toward kingship following the arrival of seasoned warrior groups in the AD 180s-90s. These individuals, having served in the Roman army after the Marcomanni conflict, brought advanced knowledge of Roman institutions and practices to the region. Through various forms of evidence, the text details how these well-equipped warriors established lordly centers and seized land. It explains how new leaders built wealth by driving commodity production for trade with Roman and Continental associates. This process allowed them to reward retainers and build connections with partners, shaping the social and cultural landscape of the era.
