The Vikings were a collection of people from Scandinavian regions that migrated and conquered European regions from the eighth to the eleventh century. The Vikings, also called Norse, traveled from their homeland to raid and colonize the British Isles, Iceland, parts of Greenland, the Frankish Empire (France), parts of Italy, as well as other areas in Europe.
The Vikings were referred to by many names. They were sometimes called North Men, Danes, and even heathens. Some parts of Europe referred to the Vikings as 'Rus," which means 'rowers' or 'crew of oarsmen." The tribes in England were the first to refer to the invaders as Vikings.
Historians debate as to why the Norse began leaving Scandinavia and ransacking other regions of Europe. Some historians suggest that Scandinavia could no longer hold a growing population, so the Norse looked for land to settle. Others think that the Vikings wanted wealth, so they decided to take it from others. Perhaps it was a combination of both of these factors.
The Vikings were fierce warriors from Scandinavia, an area in Northern Europe. They were most powerful in the years 700-1100 CE. The Vikings were champion ship-builders, and their longboats voyaged all around the coasts of Europe and even to the Americas.It's the period of the Vikings and wow, how interesting that time is!
