Victims of the Vikings (2020)

December 22, 2020Documentary, History, TV Movie0h 52m

While Vikings have been celebrated as heroic explorers and conquerors, they have a dark history as slavers and human traffickers, the extent of which is being uncovered through archaeology.

Overview

Adventurers, explorers and conquerors: the Vikings are considered the greatest heroes of the Middle Ages. Is this interpretation justified? In fact, they left a far darker and lesser-known mark on history: they were ruthless slavers, human traffickers and hostage-takers. „Victims of the Vikings“ is the first TV documentary to investigate this infamous and often horrifying aspect of the Nordic warriors.
