History of the Vikings

In this soft-spoken bedtime story, I tell you about the History of the Norsemen in the Middle Ages. At the end of the Eighth Century, they embarked on raids, explorations, and conquests farther and farther from their homelands in Scandinavia. We explore why they suddenly became outward-looking, what their societies were like, and how things unfolded until Christianization and the formation of larger kingdoms in Scandinavia (in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark), which ended the Viking Age.
