Trace the astonishing trajectory of the Vikings between the 8th and 11th centuries and follow the rapid growth of their influence with our Viking Resident Historian, Dr. Fenella Bazin. Starting with daring raids on the British Isles during the 8th century, learn how the Vikings explored, conquered and eventually settled across the European continent before making their way into the vibrant societies of the Middle East along the ancient Silk Road. See how this age of Viking exploration led to the discovery of North America 500 years before Christopher Columbus, and then join Dr. Bazin as she delves further into the world of the Vikings during an engaging question and answer session.
