Biography
Daniel Melleno is Assistant Professor of pre-modern history at the University of Denver, USA, with a PhD in medieval history from UC Berkeley. His research focuses on early medieval cross-cultural interaction with a particular focus on the Carolingian Empire and the Viking World.
“By running the gamut of Franco-Scandinavian interaction, Melleno shines a clear and effective light on the multifaceted ways in which these respective peoples encountered, engaged, and exploited one another over the course of the decades – punctuating that, for Francia, there had always been considerably more to the Viking Age than mere violence.”
