In this volume, Judith Jesch investigates what she refers to as the “typically 'viking' aspects of the late Viking Age” of ships and sailing, voyages abroad, organization of ship's crew, military organization, and the social ethos behind and resulting from such activities. In her exploration she makes use of mostly textual sources; rune stones and saga literature being the most prevalent. From a linguistic and textual perspective, Jesch explores vocabulary regarding the aforementioned activities which she understands as “typical” and symbolically important to the character of the Viking Age and its study. Engagement with Egils saga is sparse. In her chapter on the locations of foreign voyages, she cites the description in Egils saga of the Battle of and the use of the name of the river Vína mentioned therein.
