This study concerns the importance of the sword in Anglo-Saxon and Viking society, with reference to surviving swords and literary sources, especially "Beowulf". The archaeological aspect of the work focuses upon dispositions in the peat bogs of Denmark and lakes and rivers in Britain.

The first part of the book, a careful study of the disposition of swords found in peat bogs, in graves, lakes and rivers, yields information on religious and social practices. The second is concerned with literary sources, especially Beowulf.
