Now available! A Viking in the Sun: The Mediterranean Adventures of Harald Hardrada

I collaborated with History & Games Lab Edinburgh on a new game inspired by the Viking ruler Harald Hardrada, and his fascinating connections with the Fatimids and Byzantines in the 11th century Islamic Mediterranean. If you’re thinking this is all about war and conquest, think again! There are some fascinating surprises here – architecture and diplomacy, powerful women, bandits and Arabic poetry …

If you’re interested in the global middle ages, Vikings, the Fatimids, the Byzantines, and the medieval Mediterranean, or if you’ve been curious to try history gaming in your classroom, check it out. You can get a copy here.
