Entire History of the Viking Age in 12 Minutes

The Entire History of the Vikings in 12 Minutes From Pagan Pirates to Christian Kings: The Complete History of the Viking Age. Step back into June 8th, 793, when ships with dragon heads emerged from the fog to storm Lindisfarne, marking the violent beginning of the Viking Age. But who were these Norsemen really? "Viking" wasn't just a people; it was a profession. In this 12-minute animated history, we explore the rise and fall of the Scandinavian seafarers who changed the map of the world. We track their journey from the fjords of Norway and Sweden to the coasts of England, the rivers of France, and the vast plains of Russia. We'll explore: The Technology: How the longship (Drakkar) unlocked Europe's waterways. The Raids: The evolution from hit-and-run attacks on monasteries to full-scale invasions by the Great Heathen Army. The Legends: The stories of Ragnar Lothbrok, Ivar the Boneless, Rollo, and the tactical genius of Alfred the Great. The Expansion: How Vikings founded Dublin, established the Duchy of Normandy, and created the Kievan Rus. The Discovery: The incredible voyages of Erik the Red and Leif Erikson, who reached North America 500 years before Columbus. The End: The climactic year of 1066, featuring Harald Hardrada’s last stand and the Norman Conquest. Discover the truth behind the myths—from the reality of the "bloodthirsty" berserkers to the fiction of horned helmets—and see how the Vikings integrated into the very civilizations they once terrorized.
