Polity Consolidation and Military Transformation in Medieval Scandinavia
In this book, Beñat Elortza Larrea analyses the processes of polity consolidation and military transformation in Scandinavia between the early eleventh and early fourteenth centuries. Based on a plethora of administrative, legal, and narrative sources, this study examines the development of governance and warfare in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, and evaluates to which degree European ideas and institutions shaped the budding medieval Scandinavian realms. In other words – did the formation of these kingdoms stem mostly from European influence, were they a by-product of a purely Scandinavian ethos, or did they largely develop due to historical and geographical circumstances unique to each realm
Fighting with the Quarterstaff
In Asian martial arts, the bo-staff has long been recognized as a potent weapon. In Europe, the staff also has a distinguished history. For centuries starting before the Middle Ages, it was the weapon of choice for farmers, herders, and middle-class travellers. During the Renaissance, the staff was included in the curriculum of Europe's finest fighting masters, including Jacob Sutor, Joachim Meyer, George Silver and Joseph Swetnam. Aside from these great masters, who can forget Robin Hood and his band of merry men, whose use of the staff was to cause such havoc for the Sherriff of Nottingham? With the resurgence of interest in European martial arts, David Lindholm presents a synthesis of techniques preserved in the historical record, a useful guide for both novice and experienced combatant, including translations of the most important texts, analysis, and photographic interpretation of each technique. - Publisher.

Medieval Scandinavian Armies (1)
While Scandinavia's 'Viking Age' is one of the most studied aspects of early medieval history, much less has been published about the centuries that followed. Yet the armies of Sweden, Norway and Denmark offer fascinating differences from the rest of medieval Western Europe, both in their organisation and their war gear - due partly to their remoteness, climate and terrain, but partly to their long freedom from the feudal system of other kingdoms. This book explains the special nature of Scandinavian armies, shaped by the relative weakness of kings and aristocrats, and the contrasts between the separate nations of the North.
Livstid
- Jag gjorde det inte, sa Annika. Det var inte jag. - Vet du, sa kommissarie Q, det säger nästan alla. Annika Bengtzon misstänks för mordbrand i sitt eget hus. När David Lindholm, Sveriges mest kända polis, hittas skjuten i sängen identifierar hon sig snabbt med hans unga hustru Julia.

Det var en annan kvinna som sköt hennes man och kidnappade hennes son. Medan tillvaron rasar samman omkring Annika gräver hon sig allt djupare ner i den mördade polisens våldsamma förflutna. Till slut återstår två grundläggande frågor. Om Julia ljuger: Var har hon gömt Alexander? Om hon talar sanning: Vem håller honom fången? Livstid är en thriller om människans längtan efter det eviga: kärleken, makten, meningsfullheten - och barnen. Den är en direkt fortsättning på Nobels testamente.
