History -- History's Mysteries : Vikings: Fury From The North

They swept down from the north to plunder the wealth of Europe, and for 300 years, no one was safe from their brutal attacks. But they also built cities, founded empires, and crossed the Atlantic to discover a new world. They were the Vikings, and they changed the face of the world before vanishing into myth and legend. We'll follow in the wake of this great seafaring culture and examine the bold nature and amazing accomplishments of the "Fury from the North".
