An Account of the Danes and Norwegians in England, Scotland, and Ireland by Worsaae
"An Account of the Danes and Norwegians in England, Scotland, and Ireland" by J. J. A. Worsaae is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book delves into the influence and legacy of Scandinavian settlers on the British Isles, exploring the historical connections between the Danes, Norwegians, and the cultures of England, Scotland, and Ireland. Worsaae seeks to present a more balanced and comprehensive view of the impact these Norsepeople had during their conquests and settlements, challenging previously biased narratives. The opening of this work introduces readers to the author's intent, detailing his travels and research conducted at the behest of the Danish monarchy to investigate Scandinavian monuments across the British Isles. Worsaae outlines his aim to shed light on a historical period that has been overlooked and misrepresented, promising a clearer understanding of the Danish and Norwegian contributions to English history and culture. The author offers insights into the geographical context of the land and the significance of the Viking expeditions, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of their impact on local societies, customs, and institutions.
