The ENTIRE History of the Viking Age
The ENTIRE History of the Viking Age The Viking Age is often reduced to horned helmets, burning monasteries, and men in fur charging out of longships to pillage. It's a fun image, but it's mostly wrong. The horned helmets are a 19th century invention. And while raiding is very real and very important to this story, the same Scandinavian sailors who raided also traded, farmed, explored, and settled lands as far away as North America and the Caspian Sea. Over about 300 years, a handful of chiefdoms on the edge of the known world reshaped the map of Europe and left a legacy still visible in language, law, and DNA. This is the entire history of the Viking Age.
