Blood of the Vikings by Julian Richards
Published to tie-in with the BBC series, this title brings the world of the Vikings to modern day - using up-to-the-minute scientific techniques to link us to our Viking ancestors and answer the questions that have puzzled historians for centuries. The Blood of the Vikings is a five part series fronted by Julian RIchards, which was shown on BBC2 in November 2001. It not only tells the story of the Vikings in Britain but also uses advanced DNA testing to show how the influence of the Vikings has lingered genetically in modern Britain.
