Publisher's Synopsis

""Early Kings of Norway"" by Thomas Carlyle is a historical account of the early kings of Norway, from the ancient times to the 12th century. The book provides a detailed analysis of the political, social, and cultural aspects of Norway during this period, and explores the legends and myths surrounding the early Norwegian kings. Carlyle's writing style is engaging and vivid, bringing to life the characters and events of Norway's early history. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Norway and the Vikings, and provides a fascinating insight into the early days of this Nordic country.Harald took the sword, drew it, or was half drawing it, admiringly from the scabbard, when the English excellency broke into a scornful laugh, ""Ha, ha; thou art now the feudatory of my English king; thou hast accepted the sword from him, and art now his man!"" (acceptance of a sword in that manner being the symbol of investiture in those days.) Harald looked a trifle flurried, it is probable; but held in his wrath, and did no damage to the tricksy Englishman.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
