Скачать или смотреть Vikings: From Feared Raiders to Europe's Builders | The Truth About Norse History

You think Vikings were just bloodthirsty warriors? The real story will surprise you.

For three centuries, Vikings terrorized Europe. They raided monasteries, burned cities, and struck fear into every coastal settlement. But what happened next changes everything we think we know about these Scandinavian warriors.

THE TRANSFORMATION:
This documentary reveals how the most feared people in medieval Europe became farmers, traders, royal guards, and the founders of nations. From Lindisfarne's ashes to Constantinople's throne rooms, from English fields to Russian rivers, Vikings didn't just conquer—they integrated, adapted, and built.

SURPRISING FACTS:
Vikings created the first European parliament (Iceland, 930 AD)
The British royal family descends from Norman (Viking) William
Russia's name comes from Swedish Viking traders called "Rus"
The word "law" comes from Old Norse
Vikings guarded Byzantine emperors as the elite Varangian Guard

The stereotype of barbaric raiders hides a remarkable truth: Vikings were history's most successful assimilators—conquering through marriage, trade, and faith as much as by sword.

"They came as wolves. They stayed as shepherds."
