The exact reasons for the sudden appearance of the Vikings in the 8th century can only be speculated upon.
We can only speculate about the exact reasons for the sudden appearance of the Vikings in the 8th century - what is certain is that the expansionist urge of the wild tribes, who mainly pushed southwards from the area of present-day Denmark, had a lasting influence on the historical development of Western Europe, especially the British Isles and Ireland. Despite their relatively small regional distribution area in Normandy, the Normans, who followed them in time, also played an important role in the medieval world. Their boundless energy coupled with cruelty, strong leadership, great adaptability and astonishing business acumen made them formative players in history, whose legacy can still be felt today. Richly illustrated, the authors of this book describe the history of these peoples, their battles and their weaponry, bringing back to life a medieval world that often seems strange to us, but is also incredibly fascinating.
