How big was longship?

Asked by Wiki User

whatever you want it to be:( The largest Viking longboats for which any archeological records exist is about 98 feet. The problems involved with combining shallow draught and length using wooden timbers becomes an engineering nightmare. Replica vessels using modern material and tools routinely break apart in moderate seas. (See the Ormen Friske). Most longboats are of the Snekke class using 12 pair of oarsmen, a length of 56 feet and a draught of only 18 inches.

Did the vikings ever conquer Sweden?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Swedes were Vikings, along with the Danes and Norwegians. The Vikings, having over-looted the places nearest to them - France, England etc, went further afield as traders and conquerors, getting as far as Baghdad in the east, and North East Canada and America in the west. They made two failed attempts at capturing Constantinople, and successfully established the Kingdom of Sicily and Naples. They penetrated Russia - the first Prince of Kiev, forefather of the Czars, was Rurik (Hroerekr). Having taken everything in northern France, they had perforce to settle down and produce something and became the Normans (Norsemen). William the Conquerer's Norse forbears had occupied the area a mere hundred years before he crossed the Channel to grab England.
