The Viking Age
The period of North Germanic expansion, usually taken to last from the earliest recorded raids in the 790s until the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, is commonly called the Viking Age. The Normans, however, descended from Scandinavian Vikings and the indigenous population of Neustria that were granted parts of northern France (Normandy) in the 8th century (of note is that William the Conquerer's grandfather was a Viking). In that respect, the Vikings continued to have an influence in Europe. Many of the medieval kings of Norway and Denmark were married to English and Scottish royalty.
Geographically, a "Viking Age" may be assigned not only to the Scandinavian lands (modern Denmark, Norway and Sweden), but also to territories under North Germanic dominance, mainly the Danelaw, Scotland, the Isle of Man and Ireland.
