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?
The Viking Age began with the 793 attack on Lindisfarne, leading to raids across England, Francia, and the Byzantine Empire. Expanding west, the Vikings discovered Iceland, Greenland, and North America. Their influence peaked under Harald Bluetooth, but ended with the Norman conquest in 1066.
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!
