    Vikings At War

    To the Vikings, war was ubiquitous. Their raids united the Spanish kingdoms and
    halted the progress of Charlemagne and the Franks in Europe. Wherever the Viking
    ships sailed, they left enormous suffering in their wake. But through these meetings of
    cultures, European and Nordic societies were also transformed.
