VIKINGS: THE RISE AND FALL

How did a small group of Scandinavian seafarers transform into a relentless empire of raiders and explorers that reshaped the course of history from England to America?

Tune in to explore how the Vikings emerged from the icy north to build a powerful 300-year empire and witness their fearless conquests, relentless expansion, and the lasting impact of a force that took the world by surprise!
