The End of the Viking Age
On the timeline · around c. 1100 CE ·
What happened
By around 1100 the Viking Age was over. Scandinavia had become Christian kingdoms integrated into medieval Europe; the raids ceased as the Norse settled into the nations of Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
Why it matters
The Vikings did not vanish — they became Europeans. Their voyages, laws, language and blood are woven through the continent they once terrorised.
