|
The Vikings came from Denmark, Norway and Sweden in the eighth century. They came in ships, finding the way by their knowledge of the sun and the stars. Most Vikings left their homelands to find trade or to find good, fertile land to live and grow crops. Viking place names end in 'by', 'thorp' or 'thwaite'. |
