Description
The word “viking” most likely comes from an Old Norse verb “vikja,” meaning “to turn,” “to leave,” “to deviate.” Thus, vikings were people who broke away from the usual way of life. They were outcasts who left their homeland and set out on a sea voyage to earn a living.
The story of outcasts leaving their native fjords to burn, kill, and seize Europe’s richest cities is full of cruelty, betrayal, and treacherous murders—but there is also room for dark grandeur, desperate northern courage, and love. Vikings left a significant mark on the history of Europe and Rus’ and became the founders of many of Europe’s greatest dynasties.
