The seafaring Vikings in Danish, the Vikinger were a group of people that came from the Scandinavian countries of Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. They made an enduring A History of the Vikings for themselves in the 8th through the 11th centuries for being tactical warriors, smart traders, and daring explorers. In fact, they arrived in America 1, years before Columbus ever did, and archeologists have found some of their remnants scattered as far east as Russia. Click here to see more posts in this category.

The attack and plunder of Lindisfarne, a rich and unprotected monastery, echoed throughout the next years of European history. The Viking Age had begun. Historians use the term the Viking Age to describe the turbulent expansion of the Scandinavian people A History of the Vikings Europe A History of the Vikings Russia. Beginning in A. Any unprotected community was a target. They terrorized, plundered, traded, explored and finally settled and farmed all over the lands they encountered. Simply put, the Vikings were Norwegians, Swedes and Danes, men who were usually farmers, traders, blacksmiths, and craftsmen. For various reasons, they took to raiding towns, churches and monasteries. Many of the places they attacked were on the coasts as they were easiest to reach. With their swift and easily landed ships, the Vikings could quickly swarm over the communities, killing and looting, and just as fast return to their ships and leave. They were gone before any defense or counter-attack could be made. Strangely enough, for most of the men who went a-viking, it was only part time. They often returned in time for harvest in the fall. Raiding was very profitable, however, and many farmers became full time pirates and raiders. The people called Vikings were also fearless explorers who actually reached North America, making them the first Europeans to discover America. They settled Iceland and tried to colonize Greenland. They were also shrewd and competent traders and merchants. They traded all the goods of the north — furs, amber, iron and timber — for all the goods of A History of the Vikings south — silver, gold, silks and spices. A History of the Vikings all along the trade routes, the Vikings traded in slaves. Read our articles to explore these aspects of the incredible culture of these intrepid and dangerous men. Scholars debate why the Scandinavian people began to go raiding in the late 8th century. Most likely it was a combination of factors that lead to the Vikings setting off in their long boats to raid other communities. Viking ship technology made the fearful Viking raids possible. Special ship construction techniques made the long ships and larger dragon ships versatile enough to sail great distances, carry up to men, withstand rough seas while still being light enough to drag over land or carry through portages.

Scholars have many theories about the reasons why the Scandinavians began leaving home on extensive raids, trading missions, explorations and settlement, which include:. As the Viking Age raids and trading brought more wealth into Scandinavian, the growing prosperity might have led to greater population growth. The Vikings practiced primogeniture, which means the eldest son inherits everything and any younger sons nothing. Without land to farm, younger A History of the Vikings would need to find a way to make a living. This theory seems likely at least as one of the factors leading to the Scandinavian expansion into Europe. Vikings were not Christians, therefore, they saw no hindrance in attacking ecclesiastical centers such as A History of the Vikings. However, even in warfare, Christians did not attack properties of the Church—at least not often—so Church properties were unprotected. No doubt Vikings did see church properties as easy pickings, as the Church had grown very wealthy and usually had more wealth than even kings or merchants. While in previous times, Scandinavians had traded with Europeans readily, as Europe became more Christian, Christian traders began to refuse to trade with pagans or Muslims. This created problems for the Vikings, and perhaps they saw raids as a way of fixing those problems. It seems likely that this was one of the causative factors of the Viking Age, as Vikings decided to go raiding or settle elsewhere. Vikings were bold, brave people who no doubt felt the lure of adventure in foreign lands. With these beliefs, why not take chance into your hands and go raiding? After the first raid, the profitability would have been obvious to all. In the early Viking Age, Viking traders noted that they suffered losses in trade contracts and deals because the other party was Christian. Christian traders tended to give more business and better deals to other Christians, discriminating against pagans and Muslims. They loved their own gods and were content with them. English and Frankish Christian priests and monks had begun missionary tours to the Viking lands from the s to s. However, the conversion of the Vikings took place over centuries. Even when a Danish or Swedish king became Christian and proclaimed his people were Christian, many still practiced their pagan ways and held to the old gods. By the end of the Viking Age, however, most Vikings had become fully Christian and were baptized and buried in that faith. Harald Bluetooth raised the Jelling Stone proclaiming that he made all Danes Christian, although the new faith lived side by side with the old for the next few hundred years. Danish Vikings accepted Christianity slowly. It was finished in By then, most Danes had become Christian. Through these violent methods, every part of Norway became Christian, at least in name. During the later Viking Age, Christianity began making inroads in Sweden, with Episcopal sees being established during the 11th century. By the 12th century, however, Sweden was predominantly Christian. Within the male-dominated Viking society, women had a certain amount of personal power, depending on their social status. Women were valuable members of the society and it was shameful for a man to harm a woman. Spinning, carding, weaving, cutting and sewing took a long time. Viking women married young—as early as 12 years old. By the age of 20, virtually all men and women were married. Life expectancy was about 50 years, but most died long before reaching Only a few lived to Marriages were arranged by the parents of the young couple. Since both families A History of the Vikings a financial investment in the new couple, a marriage was as much a matter for the families as it was for the people involved. Viking children did not go to school as we know it today. Girls worked along with their mothers and A History of the Vikings learning how to cook, garden, take care of the domestic animals and make clothing. By the time they reached adulthood at 12 to 15, both boys and girls could effectively run a household and a farm. As is always the case, there were exceptions to these general societal rules of behavior. When the men went to settle Iceland, Greenland and Vinland, women went with them. Vikings settled in England, Ireland and France as families. However, only men went raiding and trading while women stayed home and minded the farm. Women in Viking society had more power than most other European women of the time. They could divorce their husbands, own some property and sell their own handicrafts. Some women became wealthy landowners. Even a few weapons were found in female graves, giving the notion that some women were fighters along side of their men. Most women in Viking society, however, lived and worked in the domestic realm of the household. In the world of Norse mythology, we find gods and goddesses, giants, strange and powerful creatures, elves, dwarves and land spirits. It A History of the Vikings difficult for a 21st century person to conceive of the worldview of the Vikings, brimming as it was with such a variety of spiritual beings.

  • Colours, Crosses Or Cow-Horns? Nordic Elements in the Design Of
    Colours, crosses or cow-horns? Nordic elements in the design of some North American flags and emblems with an overview of the use of Scandinavian flags in Canada and the U.S.A. Kevin Harrington Abstract This Canadian vexillologist introduces the historical and contemporary uses of Scandinavian flags in North America. He proceeds to analyze the design of North American flags that have some tie-in with the five Nordic countries. Certain individuals of Scandinavian descent who had a role in North American vexillology are also identified. The writer looks at organizational and institutional flags and emblems, house flags , sports pennants and banners, sailing and yacht club burgees, and private signals of mariners, as well as a few civic flags of Canada and the United States. He counts the frequency ofNordic elements chosen in the designs of these flags and draw appropriate conclusions. Introduction The Nordic countries of Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland have made many significant contributions to North American history, geography, and civiliza­ tion- from Leif Ericsson to Otto Sverdrup, from New Sweden to Little Norway, from kringles to saunas, from farmers in the Dakotas to lumbermen in Thunder Bay, from pdtissiers in Toronto to fishermen on Lake Winnipeg, from Ole Edvart Rolvaag to Martha Ostenso, from Karen Magnusson to Matts Sundin, an import on an National Hockey League team. To these - and there are several other categories of contribu­ tions -we now add those in the field of vexillology and emblematics. By the words Norden or Nordic, this writer means 'the northern European countries commonly re­ ferred to as Scandinavia but including also Iceland and Finland.' By Nordic elements we mean the arrangements, charges, and colours of the Nordic flags, and design ele­ ments of heraldic, dynastic, sigillographic, artistic, and other historic derivations.

  • 8 Death Ere the Afternoon: Jómsvíkinga Saga and a Scene in Hemingway’S for Whom the Bell Tolls
    Richard North 8 Death ere the Afternoon: Jómsvíkinga saga and a Scene in Hemingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls It is sometimes thought that the Icelandic sagas inspired the hard-boiled prose of Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961). Although there is nothing to show that he read translations of these, I shall argue that a motif in the tale told by Pilar about her husband’s role in a series of executions in For Whom the Bell Tolls, chapter 10, is ultimately derived from the climax of Jómsvíkinga saga.1 Let us see the comparison, then the suggested link. Pilar’s Tale and Jómsvíkinga saga: A Comparison The motif in question is a heroic topos in which each warrior of an elite facing serial execution must put his courage to the ultimate test. The motif appears as a relatively small part of the action in For Whom the Bell Tolls,anovel whichissetinMay1937inthemiddleoftheSpanishCivilWar(1936–1939).2 Hemingway’s hero, Robert Jordan, is at once an American Hispanist professor, Republican sympathizer, and expert in explosives. The last skill puts him into a mission behind Nationalist lines to blow up a bridge in a pass in the Guadarrama mountains between Segovia and the north of Madrid. Having scouted the site and made his rendezvous with a band of guerrillas, Jordan settles down to wait, knowing that the bridge may not be blown until his com- mander, General Golz of the International Brigades, has launched a long- planned offensive. During this interval the resolve of the group’sleader, Pablo, begins to waver and in chapter 10, while Jordan waits in the guerrillas’ cave, he hears a tale about Pablo from the man’s wife, the formidable Gypsy Pilar.

  • The Early Viking Ship Types
    ELDAR HEIDE e early Viking ship types . Introduction !e Viking ship, a world-famous icon, is known to us from ship finds, iconography, and written accounts, especially Old Norse sagas. Most of the research, however, has focused on the material remains. !ere is reason to believe that a more extensive utilization of the textual evidence can substantially increase our under- standing. For example, we need the texts if we want to know not only what the ships were like, but also what people called them. In this article the author attempts to sift out the early Viking Age terms for ship types from Old Norse (ON) written sources and link them to actual ships and ship depictions from that period. !e author argues that kn orr , beit, skeið, kjóll, askr, and elliði were the main ship types of the early Viking Age in Scandinavia, at least in the west, and that knerrir referred during this period to warships like Oseberg and only later to cargo ships like Skuldelev . ‘A ship with a backwards curved stem’ seems to have been the original meaning of kn orr . Kjólar were heavy, all-round ships like Gokstad, and beit were very early ships with angular stems known from depictions. Skeiðar were low, narrow ships like Ladby. Askar were also very early, small, light ships with stitched planking, whereas elliðar were com- The Oseberg ship at the Viking Ship Museum in bined inland / sea vessels, originally Eastern European.

    Medievalisms and Others: Exploring Knights and Vikings at the Movies (Two knights: Indiana Jones and a protector of the Holy Grail, scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, dir. Steven Spielberg, 1989) Research Master Thesis Name: Marvin Lee Dupree Student Number: 3729389 Date: 14th August 2014 Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Marco Mostert Second reader: Joanna Szwed-Śliwowska, Ph.D. candidate Acknowledgements The writing of this thesis has been a long process. From choosing my topic, dreaming about it, ignoring it and worrying about it while working on other important stuff. During its genealogy, I was encouraged by a novel I once read and its postmodern take on Iceland: “Ég er afkomandi hraustra, bláeygðra víkinga. Ég á ætt að telja til hirðskálda og sigursælla konunga. Ég er Íslendingur”. This sentiment has popped up into mind frequently, especially when I see tourists eating whale meat and wearing Viking helmets in downtown Reykjavík. Most of my writing was done in Rijeka and Vienna although it began in Budapest and was continued in Reykjavík. During my time in Croatia I have come to agree with Rebecca West, who said: “I had come to Yugoslavia to see what history meant in flesh and blood.” The topic of this thesis springs from my fascination with cinema and history. Of course, I am as guilty of dreaming of the Middle Ages as anyone. My supervisor Joanna Szwed-Śliwowska has been an excellent supervisor, she has helped shape my thesis from a “hrákasmíð”. Her comments and criticism have been of immense help, as well as her help with obtaining material.
