I am doing a report on Vikings and I need to answer this question. How did the vikings influences effect European Civilization? If you know the answer that would be really helpful.
~Thanks
The Vikings effectively created modern Great Britain. The descendants of the Vikings who became known as the Normans (from North Men or Vikings came to England from Normandy in France under the leadership of William, Duke of Normandy and defeated the Saxon King Harold at the Battle of Hastings, thereby establishing Norman rule in England. This was the last invasion of Great Britain (by force of arms).
