While Vikings are often characterized as pirates and raiders due to their notorious raids on coastal towns in Europe, this view oversimplifies their complex society. They were also skilled traders, explorers, and settlers who established trade routes, founded settlements, and contributed to cultural exchanges across regions. Their maritime expertise and craftsmanship were significant in shaping the medieval world. Thus, while raiding was a part of their identity, it represents only one aspect of their multifaceted culture.

What stuff did the vikings trade?

In many parts of Europe, especially Eastern Europe, the Vikings were known primarily as traders rather than as raiders. These places included much of Eastern Europe and Russia, where they were regarded with respect and valued as merchants. They traded in other parts of Europe as well, but were vilified, especially in Western Europe, for raiding and piracy, partly because they were pagans. They traded as far as the shores of the Caspian Sea, Constantinople, Sicily, and Spain, mostly along the coasts and up the rivers.
