Earlier this week I released a Thinking in English episode on the Bayeux Tapestry and the history of England 1000 years ago. During that episode I mentioned the Vikings, who invaded the north of England multiple times.
I’ve mentioned Vikings a few times in previous episodes actually (like the episode I did on the Isle of Man), but I don’t think I’ve ever spent time to explain what a Viking was.
In this episode, I want to talk about the Vikings?
What does the word “Viking” actually mean? What made someone a Viking? What was everyday life like in Viking society, and what did these people believe? How were Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish Vikings different? Where exactly did the Vikings go? What happened to them? Why did the Viking Age come to an end?
