Vikings: The Rise and Fall

An unstoppable force for more than 300 years saw the relentless and far-reaching growth of the Viking Empire.

Known for merciless bloodshed, the Norsemen became the most feared people in history. However, their story has always been told from a one-sided, Christian point of view and only now, after rigorous research through mythical sagas and bioarchaeological finds, can we uncover the truth about who the Vikings really were.
