Viking Voices, a talk by Paul Atherton
"This talk looks at the history my first novel ‘Viking Voices’ (under the pen name of Vincent Atherton) and describes the adventures of a group of Hiberno-Norse Vikings in Ireland and England in the 10th century. It culminates in the burial of the Cuerdale Hoard, the largest Viking treasure ever found in Western Europe.
My research into the history of the Cuerdale Hoard includes the Norse raids and invasions of Ireland and Britain (there's no such place as England at this time.) The history follows the Great Danish Army in their conflict with Alfred the Great and then centres on the expulsion of the Norse from Dublin in 902AD and the impact this has on all the countries around the Irish Sea"
