The first session of the course treats the Viking world of Scandinavia and the North Sea community to which it belonged, with an emphasis on the Vikings themselves. The second session will deal with the Vikings’ wide-ranging raids and ultimate settlement in Russia, England, France, and Ireland, in the North Atlantic, as far east as Newfoundland. We’ll use sagas, archeology, rune stones, and monastic annals to help us come to grips with Viking identity, mentality, and impact.
