▶ In this video I explain how the Vikings explored, raided and conquered territories throughout Europe (and also North America). Going into the importance that their settlements and raidings had in the European continent and its history. All the way from their role in the establishment of England, their settlement in Normandy and the Normand's subsequent conquest of Sicily. As well as their role in the Iberian Peninsula and their work as mercenaries of the Byzantine Empire in North Africa and the Middle-East. Finally wrapping up with the Varangians' role in the establishment of the Kievan Rus and the various Rus principalities which paved the way for the establishment of the Russian Empire and the Ukranian nation.
