Northern Europe

Let's take a brief look at a group of people who lived in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, Agent.

From AD 800 until about AD 1500, bands of fierce warriors from Denmark, Norway and Sweden sailed south and invaded the rest of Europe. These warriors were known as the Vikings.

The Vikings were highly skilled sailors, and sailed the seas in their open longboats. Evidence of a Viking settlement has been found as far west as North America, in Newfoundland.

The Vikings also started a colony in Iceland, and settled throughout Europe.
