About 800 CE, mysterious longships made their first appearance along the North Sea coast of Britain. From north to south, these raiding ships appeared out of the sea mists, carrying warriors so fierce that no one could stand against them. This was the beginning of a period of history known as the Viking Age, when Scandinavian peoples influenced much of northern Europe and beyond. This resource chronicles Viking achievements, drawing on archaeological evidence as well as the source of Norse sagas and mythology.
