Arriving as raiders on the banks of the Seine in the 9th century, these men from the North gradually integrated, founded Normandy, and built one of the most powerful legacies of the Middle Ages. From the royal burial mounds of Norway to the longships of Oseberg, from the fjords of Oslo to the Norman coast, this investigation traces the origins of a people of seafarers, traders, and warriors. The journey follows in the footsteps of Harald Fairhair, Rollo, and William the Conqueror, before reaching southern Italy and Sicily, where the Normans built an exceptionally cosmopolitan kingdom. In Palermo, at the Norman Palace and the Palatine Chapel, the Nordic heritage blends with Byzantine, Latin, and Arabic influences. A fascinating historical panorama that reveals how a handful of Vikings helped shape medieval Europe.
