Discussion points

  • In Viking culture, the eldest son inherited the farm and younger sons had to make their living elsewhere. For some this meant sailing abroad and stealing from foreigners.
  • Monasteries in Britain were easy pickings. They were undefended and held great wealth.
  • Viking longboats had shallow keels so they could sail up rivers and raid well inland.
  • The people of Britain were forced to pay a tribute called 'Danegeld' to keep the Vikings away.
  • Wessex was the strongest native kingdom but they couldn't repel the Vikings. In the end the land was divided in two and the Vikings ruled half. This was the 'Danelaw' where Danish laws were in effect.
