- Synopsis:
- Rape, pillage and barbarian excess enshrine the image of the Vikings. But in this new landmark series, made for ITV, Eric Robson goes in search of the real men from the north who were traders rather than raiders and whose main aim was to find a new land to settle and women to give them sons. In Cumberland and South West Scotland, Lancashire, Ireland and the Isle of Man they found both. Through specially commissioned archaeology and tapping the knowledge of world experts in the field we discover how the descendants of Harald Fair Hair, Eric the Red and Eric Bloodaxe became us.
