Viking Age: Difference between revisions

The Viking Age saw many of the earliest Scandinavian cultural developments. The traditional [[Sagas of Icelanders|Icelandic Sagas]], still often read today, are seen as characteristic literary works of Northern Europe. Foreign works as well, like ''[[Beowulf]]'', show Viking influences; in ''Beowulf'', this influence is seen in the language and setting of the poem. Another example of Viking Age cultural influence is the [[Old Norse]] influence in the [[English language]]; this influence is primarily from the various Viking invasions of England.<ref>{{Cite web |date=13 January 2011 |title=The Vikings in Britain: a brief history |url=https://www.history.org.uk/primary/resource/3867/the-vikings-in-britain-a-brief-history |access-date=24 November 2023 |website=The Historical Association |language=en}}</ref>
