Single Viking Invader

Product History

For three centuries, from about A.D. 800 to 1050, Viking warriors in sleek 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. This territory was divided by a line, which became known as the Danelaw boundary. Lands north of the boundary were under Danelaw, which meant that Viking laws, customs and languages predominated. South of the boundary was ruled by the Anglo Saxons.
