With settlements stretching across a vast expanse and with legends of their exploits extending even farther, the Vikings were the most far-flung and feared people of their time. Yet the archaeological and historical records are so scant that the true nature of Viking civilization remains shrouded in mystery. In this richly illustrated volume, twelve leading scholars draw on the latest research and archaeological evidence to provide the clearest picture yet of this fabled people. Painting a fascinating portrait of the influences that the "Northmen" had on foreign lands, the contributors trace Viking excursions to the British Islands, Russia, Greenland, and the northern tip of Newfoundland, which the Vikings called "Vinlund." We meet the great Viking kings: from King Godfred, King of the Danes, who led campaigns against Charlemagne in Saxony, to King Harald Bluetooth, the first of the Christian rulers, who helped unify Scandinavia and introduced a modern infrastructure of bridges and roads. The volume also looks at the day-to-day social life of the Vikings, describing their almost religious reverence for boats and boat-building, and their deep bond with the sea that is still visible in the etymology of such English words as "anchor," "boat," "rudder," and "fishing," all of which can be traced back to Old Norse roots. But perhaps most importantly, the book goes a long way towards answering the age-old question of who these intriguing people were. From sagas to shipbuilding, from funeral rites to the fur trade, this superb volume is an indispensable guide to the Viking world.Binding Type: Paperback

Load on the sauce or gravy and know that Dixie will take care of your food plate. The price is excellent on Amazon as well !! It’s an excellent buy for a fantastic paper plate!!!

Thick, sturdy, hard almost like cardboard
Size: Extra Large (Pack of 1)
These are sturdy and thick. They held a steak and baked potato tonight just fine - did this to try sturdiness and leak. It is one of the best paper plates I've found, so I highly recommend. I got the blue pattern and they're beautiful. By the way, these are big paper plates, not the little thin ones-- sturdy.

Strong, Reliable Plates That Handle Any Meal
Size: Extra Large (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using the Dixie Ultra Large Paper Plates for a while now, and they really stand out from regular paper plates. At 11 inches, they’re a great size for big meals, and the 25-count pack lasts long enough for gatherings or family dinners. What impressed me the most is how sturdy they are—3 times stronger than typical paper plates.
These plates hold up well even with heavy or messy foods without bending or leaking, which is a huge plus. They’re also microwave-safe, so reheating food is easy without worrying about the plate falling apart. Plus, they’re soak-proof and cut resistant, making them perfect for anything from saucy pasta to juicy burgers.
If you want plates that won’t fail you during mealtime, these Dixie Ultra plates are a solid choice for strength and convenience.

Fantastic plates!
Size: Extra Large (Pack of 1)
These plates were huge--perfect for the Thanksgiving feast. The plates were sturdy and held up to the weight of the food. Even others in attendance commented on how good the plates were and that they were big enough to hold larger portions which meant people didn't have to go back for seconds. The thickness of the plates was good--gravy didn't leak through. I plan to buy them again for future large holiday meals.
