From about A.D. 800 to 1050, Viking warriors in
longships sailed across the oceans in search of land, slaves, gold and other
riches. They set sail from their homes in Denmark, Norway and Sweden and
raided across Europe, Russia and the Mediterranean. The Vikings were bold
explorers. Braving the stormy Atlantic Ocean they discovered Iceland and
Greenland and even reached North America. By A.D. 886 the Vikings had
secured half of England.
The
4cm tall figures are packaged in a full colour box with an image of a Viking
village scene on the front and a battle scene on the back.
