La era de los vikingos

From the dark and unknown North of Europe, at the end of the 8th century a people with a short but intense life emerged that would leave a great mark on the history of the Western world. The Viking era call began in 793 with an unusual event: the assault by the Vikings on the monastery of Lindisfarne, in Northumbria, and from then on, and for three centuries, this town of warriors, settlers and merchants moved to its wide around the world. The study of runestones, the rescue of Icelandic manuscripts and the discovery of almost intact ships have allowed us to understand the world of the Vikings as an essential part of Nordic and European culture.
