Nearly 1,000 years ago, the Vikings left Scandinavia and settled across Europe – giving their name to Normandy along the way – before their Norman descendants seized the English throne at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. But what do we really know about them?
This extraordinary series tells the story of Scandinavian warriors from their origins in the 6th century to the Norman conquest of England in 1066. Why did they decide to leave Denmark and travel across Europe?
Climate change in Scandinavia, land ownership rights and the transition to sailing ships were just some of the reasons that made the Vikings embark on the European invasion, where they attacked monasteries and villages before trading brutality for diplomacy.
Most people see Vikings as violent raiders, but they did much more than that. Gain insight into the changes in their environment and society that drove them to leave Scandinavia to become pirates. Experts, research and dramatizations show us the world of the Vikings. We find out why they left Scandinavia, the traces they left around the world and if they were really as brutal as the myths claim.
In the documentary series we get an insight into the history of the Vikings that is not particularly well known outside the academic world. It is a story of a long, dangerous and transformative journey that not only changed people, but also politics, trade, religion and entire societies. The series digs deeper and gives an insight into who the Vikings really were, how they changed the world and how the Nordics converted to Christianity.
With the help of dramatic recreations and CGI, a group of leading experts examine their actions and explain how cultural integration and the influence of Christianity allowed the Vikings to play a pivotal role in transforming Europe into what it is today. By combining expert analysis with compelling drama, "The Last Journey of the Vikings" tells a new and often surprising story about this complex people.
Written & Directed by James Velasquez ; A Viaplay Original Co-Production by Mopar Studios, Nordic Entertainment Group, France Televisions and DRG
Part 1: The Emigrants
Most people describe the Vikings as a people who were dedicated exclusively to raiding the European coasts in search of gold and silver, but in this series we are going to delve deeper into what these Scandinavian sailors were really like. We will follow the Vikings on a journey through the centuries and see how they transformed populations, politics, trade, culture, religion and societies in general. In this first episode we will discover why they left Scandinavia to become pirates.
Part 2: 100 Days in Paris
When the Vikings attack the shores of the Frankish kingdom, they are met with resistance that is very different from what they are used to, as the Emperor Charlemagne has no intention of giving up his Christian territory to pagans and pirates.
We follow the Vikings as they try to push deeper into Frankish lands to reach great cities like Paris. At first, the defense is staunch, but surprising and tumultuous events in both Denmark and France soon change everything.
Part 3: The Good Land
At the end of the 9th century, the Vikings returned to France, but this time they traded raiding for something completely different: integration. Through diplomacy and political marriages, they were increasingly accepted into Frankish society, and even abandoned their old religion and converted to Christianity. A new duchy was soon established and the Vikings became Normans.
Part 4: The Last Battle of the Vikings
The year is 1066 and the Vikings are no longer engaged in coastal raids and pillaging monasteries, but in a fight for the throne of England. The Norman Duke William is determined to take the island.
In this final episode we will discover what novel tactics William used and how he managed to conquer England once and for all. This is a tumultuous and historic event, and it will also be the last battle of the Vikings.
