Vikings

From 893 to 1066 C.E., the European population lived in fear of vicious raiders from the frozen North. They’d attack without warning, loot monasteries and villages, and slaughter anyone who got in their way. But if you thought that Viking life was all about violence and plunder, think again. In the BrainPOP UK movie you’ll learn who the Vikings were as Tim and Moby explain that these Scandinavian warriors were actually quite civilised, with an advanced legal code, brilliantly-engineered ships, and an unusual respect for women’s rights. You’ll hear how and where they established their settlements and colonies throughout Europe. In this educational, animated movie you’ll also learn how they arrived in North America more than 500 years before Columbus. And you’ll find out how they were able to conduct their business with such terrifying efficiency. So for Odin’s sake, click on this movie and learn!
