This was posted to my re-enactment society e-list this morning - it has some wonderful line drawings and illustrations and would be a terrific resource for anyone wanting to know more about the Viking era, whether reader or writer. I've only had a glance (at female costume) but I am seriously impressed.

Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'

Thanks, Elizabeth! The Viking Answer Lady is a great resource on the subject, too. I've found it especially good for Norse mythology.

Thanks, EC , this looks like a very cool site.
I'll add the Ravensgard Viking resource site to the list. (They also have a great collection of Anglo-Saxon resources which I've mentioned before.)

And for anyone interested in the kings of Scandanavia, the Hebrides, Orkney, York, the Danelaw and Dublin, the Viking section of the wonderful and comprehensive Germania website
