During the 10th-11th centuries, the Vikings were known for their seafaring prowess and raids across Europe. However, they were also skilled traders and craftsmen who established a vast network of trade routes and settlements. One of the most notable Viking trading centers was Hedeby, located in what is now modern-day Germany. At its peak, Hedeby was one of the largest and wealthiest cities in Northern Europe, with a population of up to 2,000 people and a thriving marketplace where goods from as far away as India and the Middle East were traded. Hedeby's influence extended far beyond its borders, and it played a crucial role in shaping the cultural and economic landscape of the Viking Age.
