When Was The Viking Age?
793–1066? 789-1209? A fascinating look at 'organising' history.
If you take the word "Viking" to mean "Scandinavian" then the Viking Age basically never ended. But that won't do! We're historians! We like to put things into time periods, ages, epochs and categories.
So let's take a more nuanced, detailed look at when Viking raids actually took place in parts of Europe in the early medieval age, how they happened, and what replaced them once Norway, Denmark and Sweden got a little more established in the middle ages.
This video doesn't look as much at some of the eastern Baltic and Slavic areas, because that'll be in a whole other video all of its own.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
