820 CE to 963 CE

The prehistoric period in Denmark ends with the beginning of the Viking Age in the ninth century.

The Danish people are among those known as Vikings during the eighth to the eleventh centuries.

Viking explorers first discover and settle in Iceland in the ninth century, on their way from the Faroe Islands.

From there, Greenland and Vinland (probably Newfoundland) are also settled.

Utilizing their great skills in shipbuilding and navigation they raid and conquer parts of France and the British Isles and Ireland.
