Medieval Scandinavia:

Viking Age and Medieval Scandinavia (HIS 2xx)

The peoples of Scandinavia, collectively known as the “Norsemen” and the “Vikings” in medieval history, provide a remarkable and complex culture for historical study. Our course will seek to develop a picture of this history, culture, and society of the peoples of Denmark, Norway and Sweden through hands-on learning experiences, from examining medieval manuscripts in royal libraries to sailing Viking era ships on a fjord.
