“The Vikings & Their Influence in The World” by Imogen Corrigan

The Viking Age was the period during the Middle Ages when Norsemen known as Vikings undertook large-scale raiding, colonizing, conquest, and trading throughout Europe and reached North America. The Vikings almost need no introduction; an image is instantly conjured up of ferocious fighting men, rampaging through our green and pleasant land, plundering, wrecking and desecrating. The study day covers some of the many influences arising from the Viking Age; 793–1066 AD.
