Vikings denote ship-born warriors who originated in Scandinavia and from the late
8th century raided the coastal lands of Europe and founded there their settlements.
Owing to the Norsemen expansion the period from the 8th to 11th centuries is
referred to by historians as the Viking Age. The Vikings formed troops and made
long sea voyages. Victims of their raids were England and Ireland, France and
North Germany, The Iberian Peninsula and South Italy. They even penetrated
into Byzantium and Eastern Europe. Even amid the native fiords of Scandinavia
Vikings' violence led to continual internecine clashes between troops of different jarls.
