Soon after the Collapse of Rome, the Vikings filled in the void left by the Romans. Take a look at the map below to see the vast extent of where the Vikings travelled.






Some more information here about the vikings
1. About what time period did the vikings travel throughout Europe?
~800-1000 C.E.
2. What piece of technology enabled the vikings to be such successful traders and raiders?
The boats they sailed on, their longboats

3. What did most Viking men do for a living?
Farming

4. What information did you find to be the most interesting?
I found the vikings used to ski for fun interesting
even though vikings were known to destroy things they helped people with many things
that they died their hair blond
I found it interesting they took good care of their hygiene and that they basically bleached their hair and beards.
that women had a lot of rights for this time period
That Viking Warrior Women did exist.

6. Who would have worn this helmet and why? Hint, consult the reading above
 Not Vikings, but Norse and Germanic priests did wear horned helmets for ceremonial purposes. idk who would though.




7. Norse folklore and ballads stated that the Vikings did settle in North America. Now this has been proven. Norse folklore is full of stories of warrior women, play movie above, which is also now being proven with artifacts. Play the movie above


Bonus- What is your theory about the round towers of Ireland?

I think the towers were rounded so they could put art work or have plans visible to others.
I think that the round towers of Ireland were used as lookouts for Vikings because normally bells would be installed in towers that had wide openings where the tower would be so it would be heard better and louder, when in the towers of Ireland the openings are very small.
