From
about A.D. 800 to 1050, Viking warriors in longships
sailed across the oceans in search of land, slaves,
gold and other riches. They set sail from their
homes in Denmark, Norway and Sweden and raided across
Europe, Russia and the Mediterranean. The Vikings
were bold explorers. Braving the stormy Atlantic
Ocean they discovered Iceland and Greenland and
even reached North America. By A.D. 886 the Vikings
had secured half of England. The 4cm tall figures
are packaged in a full colour box with an image
of a Viking village scene on the front and a battle
scene on the back.
