VIKINGS

The Vikings (creek-dwellers) were the inhabitants of Scandinavia, and more particularly Norway from about the 8th to the 11th century. They were also called Norsemen, and Danes. They were great explorers and set up colonies in Ireland, France, England and Scotland as well as reaching Iceland, Greenland and Nova Scotia. In 912 they were granted the duchy of Normandy, and these
Vikings became known as Normans, later famously invading and conquering England.
