The Viking Age is a period of Scandinavian history that covers the time from 871 to 1034. It was a time of invasions, conflicts, and wars between different groups in Scandinavia, pitting the Norwegian jarls against Danish king Harald Fairhair. The Vikings were not just warriors but also traders who conquered new lands by sea as well as land. They lived on plundering raids and trading goods instead of agriculture, which made them wealthy beyond imagination.
In the Viking Age, several kingdoms arose with their kings ruling over different parts of Scandinavia. Most importantly, there was Denmark ruled by King Harald who established an empire in Norway and Denmark. There were also kingdoms of Sweden and Norway under the rule of strong jarls like Hakon Ivarsson and Sigurd Jarl.
The Viking age came to an end when Ragnarök, the final battle of gods and monsters, took place near the end of days. This epic war will decide the fate of the world and the fate of all those involved in it.
