Viking Age context (quick facts)
The term “Viking” originally described an activity (going on a raid) more than a single people, and many Scandinavians were traders, settlers, and craftspeople as well as warriors.
From the late 8th to 11th centuries, Norse networks reached from North America to the rivers of Eastern Europe, linking cultures through commerce, conflict, and migration.
