Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
In 793 AD Norwegian warriors attacked the English island of Lindiffarn and completely devastated it. The wave after the wave of the Scandinavian sea wolves followed the prey, earth or glorious death in the battle. Most of the British islands fell under their swords, and the continental capitals of Paris and Aachen were plundered in turn. Turning
to the east, they sailed along the unknown rivers of Central Europe, captured Kyiv and entered into a fight with a powerful Constantinople,
The capital of the Byzantine Empire.
But in the history of the Vikings there are not only conquests. They introduced a new jury court in England, were sophisticated merchants and researchers who settled Iceland, founded Dublin and created a trading network that extends from Baghdad to the coast of North America
