The Complete History of the Vikings | Rise, Expansion, and Disappearance | Boring History For Sleep

Описание: The Viking Age was not just an era of raids — it was a transformation of the medieval world.

This documentary explores the entire history of the Vikings, tracing how Norse societies emerged from the harsh landscapes of Scandinavia to become explorers, traders, warriors, lawmakers, and founders of kingdoms across Europe and beyond.

We journey from the first shock of the Lindisfarne raid to the vast Viking trade networks stretching from Baghdad to the North Atlantic. You’ll witness how Viking culture evolved — from feared raiders in England and Francia to settlers in Iceland, Greenland, and North America, and rulers who reshaped medieval politics.

This film explores:

Why Viking expansion happened when it did

How longships enabled global exploration

The role of myth, poetry, and law in Norse society

How Vikings transitioned from raiders to rulers

Why the Viking Age eventually came to an end

Using archaeology, historical sources, and modern scholarship, this is the complete story of how the Vikings conquered much of Europe — and why they ultimately disappeared as a distinct culture.

Their ships are gone.
Their kingdoms faded.
But their influence still shapes language, law, and identity today.
