Where did the vikings raid and when?

Answer 1

The Vikings, originating from Scandinavia, began their raids in the late 8th century, roughly around 793 AD, with the notorious attack on the Lindisfarne monastery in England. Over the next few centuries, they raided and settled in various regions, including the British Isles, parts of France, the Iberian Peninsula, and even as far as the Mediterranean and North America. Their expeditions were driven by a mix of trade, exploration, and the quest for land and resources. The Viking Age is generally considered to have lasted until the late 11th century.
