 VIKINGS

One of the most notorious periods in Danish history is the age

of the Vikings. It began around 793 AD. The Viking Age lasted
about 250 years. The Vikings travelled widely outside their realm,
sailing to what today is Russia and Turkey. Their admirable
navigation skills at sea also brought them as far as Greenland and
North America. They continued to plunder and steal, along with
more peaceful activities such as trading precious metals, textiles,
glassware, jewelry, and fur. On occasion, they also bought and
sold European slaves.
