The Vikings were the feared plunderers from Scandinavia who sailed from city to city, raiding and terrorising Medieval Europe. Their bloodthirsty debut was a raid on England’s Lindisfarne monastery in 793, and after that, the reign of Viking terror officially began. Following this bloodbath, these raiders would frequently sweep in from the North sea to kill, plunder and destroy, targeting Britain, Ireland, France and Mainland Europe with reckless abandon.
The Vikings were warlike people skilled with the axe and the sword. Additionally, they worshipped warlike gods such as Odin and Thor and actively sought death in battle. Indeed, for a Viking to be slain in combat meant they could enter Valhalla (Viking afterlife) and feast and drink with the Gods for all eternity!
