For over 300 years, the Vikings waged war from the seas with brutal effect. But were they blood-thirsty plunderers or cunning political operatives? Through National Geographic's trademark premium lens, in the compelling new series, we witness the Vikings' first voyages beyond the Scandinavian coast, the sacking of York, and sieges of Paris, as we uncover the trade routes, the Vikings developed as far east as Baghdad and West, to reach America.
