Norsemen
Rond het jaar 900 vertrekken de Noormannen (of Vikingen) vanuit Scandinavie.
De Vikingen hebben erg goede schepen.
Ze gebruikten hun schepen om handel te drijven, maar ook om op rooftocht te gaan.
De Vikingen geloofden dat ze in het Walhalla (de Vikinghemel) kwamen als zij dapper vochten. Sterven in de strijd was de hoogte mogelijke eer. Valt het je ook op dat de Vikingen op de afbeelding helmen zonder hoorns dragen... Dat komt omdat de hoorns er later bij bedacht zijn, in het echt hadden ze dat helemaal niet!

Unrest in Europe
After Charlemagne's death, his empire is divided into three parts (843):
East: grandson Louis the German
West: grandson Karel de Kale
Middle: Grandson Emperor Lothair
Wars weakened the emperor's power in the Netherlands
In addition: looting by vikings
843: Vikings plunder Dorestad, near Utrecht
Slide 16 - Tekstslide
Charlemagne comes into conflict with the Normans:
1. His enemies, the Saxons, were friends of the Normans.
2. The Normans wanted to conquer the riches of his territory.
3. The Normans did not want to convert to Christianity.
Slide 17 - Tekstslide
The Viking Raids
Starting 793
Every summer
Across Europe
Little resistance
Lots of treasures
Slide 18 - Tekstslide
Less looting from the 11th century, because:
-The Normans mixed with the local population.
-The Normans converted to Christianity.
-The Normans made treaties with the princes in Europe
(Normandy on loan)
Slide 19 - Tekstslide
