When did the Viking voyages happen?

They were definitely a problem by the end of the seventh century. A Viking raid on Lindisfarne in 793 was widely commented on through Western Europe. It is this raid that is used to date the beginning of the Viking Age. Nevertheless, we know that the Romans in Britain had to set up naval bases to combat what they described as pirates from the North, so the Vikings may already have been working in ancient times. The Viking Age ended as Viking leaders were incorporated into French and English political systems. Normandy was named for the Vikings who settled there, and the Normans conquered England in 1066. But by that time they were more French than Norse. In Central Europe also, the Vikings were successfully established as leades of city states by the end of the 12th century. In fact, the name Russia refers to them.


Did ancient Egypt have anything to do with the Vikings?

The Vikings were not a race of people but ordinary Scandinavians who decided to go viking (raiding overseas). The very earliest known Viking raids were in the 790s AD (which many people now include in the medieval era).Ancient Egypt ended with the collapse of the Roman Empire in around 400 AD, so it is totally impossible for ancient Egypt to have anything to do with the Vikings.

Not likely. The Viking Era ended about 1050 AD. The first cannon used in battle was about 1260 AD. So the last Viking would have been over 200 years early for gunpowder.

Did Christianity end viking society?

No. Vikings never ended. They simply began to cohabit with others. In England, for example, the Vikings were granted permission to settle on a large chunk of the country if they stopped their raids. Religion had nothing to do with it. Over the years, Vikings simply reproduced with other Europeans, gradually slowing down Viking culture. In parts of Scandinavia, Iceland and Greenland, some remnants of Viking culture is still around.

What part of the Middle Ages were the Viking voyages in?

The Viking raids began in 793 AD with a raid on Lindisfarne. The Viking Age ended during the 9th and 10th centuries. There are authors who place the date ending the age at 1066, but calling the French speaking Normans who invaded England Vikings because their ancestors were Vikings a hundred years earlier might be stretching a point a bit too much. There is a link to an article on the Viking Age below.
