Medieval, Viking Age
The Viking Age (c. 793–1066 A.D.) was a transformative period in Northern Europe, marked by the expansion of Scandinavian seafarers. Beginning with the infamous raid on Lindisfarne in 793, Vikings disrupted the political and economic systems of Europe. Renowned for their advanced shipbuilding, they explored and settled vast territories, from Greenland and Iceland to parts of Britain, Ireland, and even Russia. Beyond warfare, the Vikings excelled in trade, connecting distant regions via routes stretching from the Mediterranean to the Middle East. Their legacy endures in art, language, and political systems, profoundly shaping medieval Europe.
