Description
The Viking Age was marked by violence and conquest. Beginning in AD 789 with a murder on a beach in Dorset, it ended two and a half centuries later with the crowning of a Dane as king of England. During this period, the Vikings waged war on four continents, besieged London, Paris, and Constantinople, founded Russia and the Duchy of Normandy, and nearly destroyed Anglo-Saxon England. Their impact was felt far beyond their territorial conquests. The Vikings were skilled traders and explorers who established a network of settlements and trade routes that stretched across Europe. However, they are also remembered for their brutal raids and pillage, which had a profound impact on the history of Christendom. This new history returns the Vikings to their former position as a force to be reckoned with, challenging the popular perception of them as traders and explorers alone.
