Images have been, where necessary, enlarged and cleaned up from the contemporary master print.”Volume 3 Table of ContentsChapter 1: The Fleets of the NorthmenChapter 2: Mode of Naval Warfare of the NorthmenChapter 3: Sea BattlesChapter 4: Traders and Trading ShipsChapter 5: Debts and RobberyChapter 6: Halls and BuildingsChapter 7: Feasts, EntertainmentsChapter 8: Dress of MenChapter 9: Dress of WomenChapter 10: The BracteatesChapter 11: Occupations and Sports of MenChapter 12: Occupations of WomenChapter 13: Exercises – IdróttirChapter 14: Idróttir – Poetry, Music, and Mental ExercisesChapter 15: The Conduct of Life – The HávamálChapter 16: Sorrow and MourningChapter 17: Champions and BerserksChapter 18: Some Expeditions and Deeds of Great VikingsChapter 19: Some Expeditions and Deeds of Great VikingsChapter 20: Some Expeditions and Deeds of Great VikingsChapter 21: Some Expeditions and Deeds of Great VikingsChapter 22: Some Expeditions and Deeds of Great VikingsChapter 23: Some Expeditions and Deeds of Great VikingsChapter 24: The Discovery and Settlement of Iceland, Greenland and AmericaChapter 25: The Orkneys and HebridesAppendixAppendix II
