Vikings
by Neil OliverThe Vikings famously took no prisoners, relished cruel retribution and prided themselves on their bloodthirsty skills as warriors. But their prowess in battle is only a small part of their extraordinary story. For over two hundred years between the end of the eighth century and the middle of the eleventh, these Scandinavian tribes became the greatest adventurers the world had yet seen. Perhaps the greatest there will ever be.

Celtic horse and cart (UEB uncontracted)
by RnibThis page shows an image of a Celtic horse and cart. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The horse is on the left and the cart on the right of the page. It is a side view so only one of the two wheels and one of the horse's ears and eyes can be found. The horse is facing and walking to the left. It has a halter around its head. Its ear sticks up from the top of the head. To the right of this is its mane also sticking up and going down the top of the horse's neck. Around the horse's neck and chest is a broad belt which is a harness. This is attached to a pole which goes right to the cart. At the bottom left of the image are the horse's four legs. The front leg to the left is bent as it is about to take a step forward. The two legs in the middle are the legs on the other side of the horse. In the top right of the horse is its tail which sticks out to the right and then hangs down. Down from the tail is the other end of the pole which connects the cart to the horse. The cart is rectangular. There is a thick vertical piece of wood at the front and back ends of the cart. Between them are horizontal planks forming the wall of the cart. All this wood sits on a thick horizontal piece of wood which forms the floor of the cart. In the bottom centre of the cart is a solid wooden wheel. It is made of parallel pieces of wood rounded to make a circle. Two other pieces of wood at ninety degrees are fixed to hold the wheel together. The cart is a simple but strong structure.
