Medieval Vikings refer to the peoples of Scandinavia who made a significant impact on Europe from the 8th to 11th centuries – through warfare, raiding, trading, exploring and settling. The British Isles and France were particularly affected, but the Viking presence could be felt from the Byzantine Empire to North America.
