In what country did Vikings live?
Published in Daily Trivia
Actually, Vikings lived in several countries. These notorious sea raiders and explorers hailed from three Scandinavian homelands: Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The Danes made their mark in the British Isles and along the coastlines of Europe. The Norwegians sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to reach America. And the Swedes traveled up Russian rivers to reach Constantinople and the Orient. Just last month, in September, researchers reported finding a Viking burial site, with six Viking men and women, in England. It's the first Viking burial ground found in Britain.
