History 311 the Viking World
The Viking World Christian Raffensperger History 311-1W Fall Semester 2017 MWF 2:15–3:20 P.M. Hollenbeck 313 The Vikings occupy an important place in European, and indeed, Eurasian history. From their first recorded attack on Lindisfarne in 793, the Vikings roamed the Baltic and North Seas, continental Europe, the Mediterranean, the eastern European river systems, and even the Caspian and Black Seas. In their travels they met peoples of various faiths and origins, and traded with and raided them all equally. This course will explore the initial outburst of Viking expansion beginning in the late eighth century, look at the way Vikings lived at home and abroad, and will also examine the effect Vikings had on the various places they visited. We will also study the Icelandic sagas that have survived to this day as a view to what they can tell us about Viking life and practices.

“The Fury of the Northmen” 793–1066
CHAPTER ONE “The Fury of the Northmen” 793– 1066 There are many ways to get from the west coast of Greenland to L’Anse aux Meadows, none of them easy. You can fly from Kangerlus- suaq to Reykjavik in a little less than five hours, and from there to New York in just under six; from New York to St. John’s, on the south- east side of the island of Newfoundland, will take about three more. From there, you either drive or fly four hundred mileswest— perhaps ten hours by road; an hour and fifteen minutes by twin-engine turboprop—to Deer Lake. Then, another three hundred miles by car on Canada’s picturesque Route 480, along the Newfoundland coast, until you run out of road, and walk the last bit to a peat farm, a recon- structed forge, and half a dozen sod-roofed houses. All of the available options are far easier than the direct route, first taken a thousand years ago: nine hundred stomach-heaving miles across the North Atlantic in a sixty- foot- long square- rigged wooden ship. But that ship, and others like it, are the reason L’Anse aux Mead- ows is a UNESCO World Heritage Site: the first European settlement in the New World, and probably the most famous place ever colonized by the merchants and traders we know as the Vikings. It’s nowhere near the largest. A Viking settlement on the banks of the Dnieper River, near Smolensk, has more than three thousand fu- neral mounds scattered across its forty acres.

History 115: MEDIEVAL EUROPE, 410-1500
Medieval Europe, 410-1500: 2004 Syllabus Paul Stephenson John W. and Jeanne M. Rowe Assistant Professor of Byzantine History History 115: MEDIEVAL EUROPE, 410-1500 Fall 2004: Tuesday, Thursday: 11.00am-12.15pm, Ingraham 120 TA: Denise Kawasaki COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will introduce students to the history and culture of Medieval Europe, both West and East, in the period 410-1500. We will make use of the full range of historical and archeological sources to explore the various lands and peoples of Medieval Europe, ranging from the Mediterranean to the Caspian and Baltic Seas; from North Africa to Northern Russia; from Ireland and Iceland as far as North America. Many students will have enrolled knowing only a few details about Medieval Europe, for example a little about St. Patrick, King Arthur, the Vikings or the Crusades. We shall consider all of these, focusing on the gaps between myth and history. Other themes will include cultural encounters (for example, between Christians and Muslims), and medieval travelers (including St. Brendan, and Marco Polo). This course will not take the form of a chronological narrative, and does not pretend to completeness. It is designed to provide an informed understanding of certain topics and themes, and to provide the foundations for further studies in pre-modern and/or European history and culture. It also fulfils a general education breadth requirement. http://homepage.mac.com/paulstephenson/madison/medieval/syllabus2004.html ASSESSMENT, GRADING AND EXAMINATIONS 3 Credits: Attendance at lectures and discussion sections is mandatory, and participation will count for 20% of a final grade.

The Earliest Wave of Viking Activity? The Norwegian Evidence Revisited AINA MARGRETHE HEEN-PETTERSEN Department of Historical Studies, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway This article discusses the chronology and nature of the earliest Viking activity, based on a group of early burials from Norway containing Insular metalwork. By focusing on the geographical distribution of this material and applying the concept of locational and social knowledge, the importance of establishing cognitive landscapes to facilitate the Viking expansion is highlighted. It is argued that the first recorded Viking attacks were only possible after a phase in which Norse seafarers had acquired the necessarily level of a priori environmental knowledge needed to move in new seascapes and coastal environments. This interaction model opens the possibility that some of the early Insular finds from Norway may represent pre-Lindisfarne exploration voyages, carried out by seafarers along the sailing route of Nordvegr. Keywords: Early Viking Age, Vikings, Insular, Norway, Nordvegr, maritime mobility INTRODUCTION and data which have not been included in previous debates about the earliest Viking For over a century, the earliest Viking activity. Second, the article examines the activity in Britain and Ireland (the `Insular nature of the initial phase of contact with area` referred to in this paper) has been a focus on maritime mobility and environ- the topic of intense scholarly discussion.

Viking Expansion and the Search for Bog Iron
VIKING EXPANSION AND THE SEARCH FOR BOG IRON Ǽ GRAHAM BOWLES, RICK BOWKER AND NATHAN SAMSONOFF ABSTRACT The Vikings have been highly romanticized in popular litera- ture, portrayed as ferocious warriors and incredible explorers. What we do not see are the strategies and skills that made them successful. This paper focuses on the settlement and expansion patterns of the Norse people, and how they used bog iron as an important resource to aid their expansion across the seas. We will plot known Viking settlement sites against bog iron extrac- tion areas in order to highlight iron’s importance as a resource to the Vikings. Bog iron is a type of iron found in bogs, lakes, and rivers that is abundant, easily extracted and processed. This made it an ideal source of iron for a population that was looking for accessible resources in newly settled areas. An examination and subsequent comparison of archaeological site reports from Viking settlements in Northern Europe and North America re- veals that there is a direct relationship between Viking sites and bog iron deposits. INTRODUCTION The Vikings were a dominant force in northern Europe for ap- proximately 300 years (Brink, Price 2008). They originated in PLATFORUM. VOL. 12 2011 25 Scandinavia and due to being excellent mariners they dispersed and settled in large portions of northern Europe. Frequently dur- ing this expansion, the Vikings had the opportunity to settle in a variety of locations of their choosing. This was either because the land was uninhabited, as in Iceland, or because their fight- ing prowess was far superior to that of the farmers that inhabited these new regions.
