Added by OttselSpy25The Vikings were Scandinavian pirates and traders who plundered Europe from the 8th to 10th centuries. Being the only widely known representatives of their people, their name became synonymous with the Nordic culture itself. (TV: The Curse of Fenric) Vikings spoke Old Norse. (PROSE: The Spear of Destiny)
During the 9th century, a group of Vikings stole the flask containing Fenric, taking it to Northumberland and Maiden's Point. They buried the flask beneath St. Jude's Church, leaving a runic inscription warning that the flask was cursed. Their descendants settled the area. Among the Vikings were Asmund, Rognvald, Torkel and Halfdan. (TV: The Curse of Fenric)
In 1066, the Monk planned to sabotage a Viking raid in order to ensure King Harold Godwinson's victory at the Battle of Hastings, but was prevented from doing so by the First Doctor. (TV: The Time Meddler)
