    The Vikings dominated Europe for over 300 years through fear and power, but by 1100 AD their power began to weaken as their descendants divided into separate kingdoms that became Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. In England, the Norman conquest of 1066 by William, a Viking descendant, marked the end of Viking terror. As the Vikings Christianized and intermarried with locals, forgetting their old ways, their culture gradually dissolved yet still influences modern Nordic societies through place names, institutions like parliaments, and their popular stories, myths and legends. Viking genes also spread widely, with millions of people today containing a bit of Viking ancestry.

    THE END OF THE VIKING AGE

    The Vikings reigned supreme in Europe for over 300 years. Fear of the Vikings
    played a pivotal role in reshaping that continent, but by 1100 AD Viking
    power began to weaken, the Vikings' descendants had divided into separate
    kingdoms led by rival kings, which ultimately became Norway, Sweden, and
    Demark.
    In England, the victory in 1066 of William the Conqueror, a descendant of
    Norsemen from Normandy, maked the end of Viking terror. As the Vikings
    changed their way of life, their beliefs disappeared; they became Christians.
    They became part of new mixed communities, and thus began to marry the
    locals forgetting their old ways. However, Viking civilization has never
    completely disappered in North Europe there are many places with Viking
    names and ideas, such as the creation of parliaments and the right to free
    speech are still very much a part of many modern societies. And of course,
    Viking stories, myths and legends continue to be enjoyed worldwide. Viking
    genes have spread widely throughout the Western world millions of
    Americans and Europeans carry at least a bit of Viking blood
