| Viking |
The Vikings were warriors from northern Europe, from lands that are now Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. They had power and were important in history from around the year 700 to the year 1100. The Vikings sailed to many places in Europe. They were strong and scary. They attacked and conquered many towns and villages, especially in England, France, and Russia. Some Vikings settled in the new places, set up laws, and often married local people. Vikings were also traders who brought goods from faraway places and traded them for gold, silver, and other goods in the areas that they conquered. |
