The Viking Age was a transformative period of Norse exploration and expansion from the late 8th to the early 11th century. It saw the Vikings extend their influence through military campaigns, trade, and exploration, impacting regions such as the British Isles, the Frankish Empire, and the Baltic Sea. Significant events include the raid on Lindisfarne, the establishment of the Duchy of Normandy, and the colonization of Greenland and Vinland.
