Show transcript
The Vikings also began to raid monasteries in Ireland, founding Dublin in the 9th century.
The Norse were seafarers who travelled and settled widely across Europe, as far away as Byzantium.
In the 9th century, they settled in Iceland, and in the 10th century Erik the Red is said to have reached Greenland.
Erik’s oldest son, Leif Erikson, travelled as far as North America, calling the land he discovered Vinland.
