Vikings

Well it is said that Colombus wasn't the first European to set foot in America but Leif eriksson was , he wrote a book about it and he states that the Viking were really the first ones to set foot in America, therefore making him "Leif eriksson" famous . Leif erickson day is october 9th. leif Eriksson was also Christian and brought Christianity to the viking era.

By the Middle Ages the Vikings were no longer invading.

Cross a sea (if needed) with a pack of well armed and motivated men, travel up-river if able to hit a seemingly out-of-the way place with weak defenses and equitable stockpiles of wealth or resources. Steal everything they could, killed some people to make a point that resistance is stupid (or for more fame amongst their own people), and give the fellows an opportunity to rape anything they cared to.

Sometimes this was a prelude to taking over a location, sometimes it was merely an isolated raid, sometimes it was a repeat performance where the Northmen attacked the same place every generation or so. Often, the most profitable result was a terrorized populace that was amenable to paying tribute, meaning "protection money", generally referred to now as "Dane Geld". Basically, it was a combination of tactics commonly used throughout the world, just that the Northmen did it with a memorable flair. Now-a-days we would refer to the social system in which these practices (tactics) are used as a "Small Government, Big Business limited regulation Capitalisim, A.K.A. Pirate Utopia.

In the European middle ages, all the kings, except some in Islamic Spain, were Christian and like other Christians were permitted to marry only one woman at a time. That did not stop some from having mistresses, but that is an entirely different thing.

I've looked all over the Internet but there is NOTHING there so I came up with a few: 1) they would worry if there was enough food for the next day 2) fathers would worry and look for a good husband for their daughters 3) they would all face the problem of not having enough money 4) they would also face the problem of not pleasing the leader and worry about getting kicked out of the village If you've done research, it's not hard to come with your own. Hope this helps! :)

Fran Tarkenton started 10 games and George Shaw started 4 games for the 1961 Vikings. Tarkenton was the starter in the first ever Vikings regular seasin game played against the Bears on September 17, 1961.

Transporting goods before trains and trucks was a very difficult task. You could only move things that a horse, team of horses, oxen, etc could move. Boats were a completely different story, you could fill a boat full of stuff, and a team of people could move it to any other place on the water. So living on the coasts meant that you were able to do more trade, which is what also made England so powerful.

They were designed the way they were so the vikings can fit more people. The also needed space for cattle, goods, and furnature and 30+ people

Beserks-not a specific warrior, but the definition of a Beserk is: In old-Norse sagas, they were warriors who dressed themselves in bear skins, to make use of the fear common people had for wild animals. They whipped themselves up to a sort of battle frenzy, biting their shields and howling like animals. They were ferocious fighters and seemingly insensitive to pain while this madness lasted; berserks made formidable enemies. In their rage they even attacked the boulders and trees of the forest; it was not uncommon that they killed their own people. I know it is a long definition, but it is correct.

The Vikings.

Swedish, Icelandic, or Denmark vikings

They were very good ship builders. They designed their ships so that they could go fa inland and in shallow waters without getting stuck, this is because their boats were light weight

they died but no one knows

OK NOW LEAVE ME ALONE

They would go out on their longboats at the beginning of Spring and conquer land as well as fight and capture the locals of the land. Sometimes they would spare their captives and make them a thrall (slave).

The main ships Vikings used were Longboats, but there were many other different boats used for different purposes. The longboats had holes on the side for the paddles to stick out, and rowers would keep paddling the entire boat with multiple paddles, and it took great teamwork in order to make a tight turn. Plus, the front of the ship always had some sort of wooden design to represent vikings, mermaids, and such.

Lief Erikson converted to Christianity from Norse Paganism. His father Erik the Red, however, stayed true to his ancestors.

He was searching for new lands to colonize.

The Vikings believed (and many still do) in gods other than the Christian one. They practiced a spiritual path that revered those gods.

They had seers, herbalists, and practitioners of magic.

They themselves would not have called it "witchcraft", just their spiritual path.

because they raided in all of their continents and settled there also

destroyed all of their belongings

What do you mean? Archeological or literary finds or just facts?

In terms of archeological finds, several have been made, some in Scandinavia, England, Scotland, Ireland and other places. In terms of ships there are the Skuldelev ships, the Gokstad and the Oseberg ships. There are also runic inscriptions such as the Jelling stones and the Valleberga stone. There are also gravesites, one example being Lindholm Høje.

In terms of literary accounts there have been some made (eg Alcuin). Not all of

these may be entirely trustworthy though since most of them were made by monks and other Christians who were subject to the Viking raids at the time. The Vikings themselves have left few written accounts.

In terms of facts here are a few

-The Viking age is traditionally thought to have started in 793 where the first

known raid took place and ended in 1066

-To this date no horned helmet has been found

-The Icelandic sagas were written down after the end of the Viking age

-Today Icelandic is the closest related language to old Norse

-Viking ships were built using lapstrake technique (where the top of one strake overlaps the other)

-The story of Amled served as inspiration for Hamlet

-Bluetooth is named after Harald Blåtand

-The Normans who invaded England in 1066 were descended from Vikings

-There are a couple of Runes engraved in the Hagia Sofia

I hope this is good enough and/ or what you were looking for, if not there is always these authors/historians: John Haywood, Else Roesdahl, R.I. Page and Martin Arnold to name a few

Viking styled shelters, rune stones, and context clues from viking literature.

the viking slaves had to do whatever their owners tells them to do. If they were told to clean they had to clean, if they were told to wash their back they had to wash their back etc... One of the way for a slave to have freedom is that if they acted brave in front of their master they may get their freedom or the master would treat them more nicer. The other way to gain their freedom is to buy their freedom. They had to pay their owners how much their currently worth to gain freedom.

Hope you like my response. If you do not like it i suggest you go to google and type in Viking slaves and there will be lots of information about it or if you can't you could ask some people who know about the vikings or you could go to the library and see if there are any books about the Vikings age. Okay BYE!!
