The Vikings were more than marauders, although they did rape, pillage, and plunder parts of Europe and strike fear into the hearts of many. Discuss Viking culture (you may choose to discuss any/all: religion, war, economy, gender constructs, life styles). Why did the Vikings move from their homes, how did they do so and why were they so successful, and what occurred as a result in a few specific areas (you may choose from England, France, the Byzantine world, Ireland, Greenland, or Russia). The following web sites will help augment our book, which does not adequetly cover the Vikings:
