Discover the fascinating truth behind a wide range of warlike people, societies and cultures that history will remember as 'The Barbarians'.
The Vikings
Following their sudden, brutal attack on an English monastery in 793 A.D., the Vikings quickly spread deep into Europe where their mettle as warriors and explorers had already set the wheels of a new age into motion.
The Goths
Terrorised by the Huns, then forced into starvation when they fled to the Roman Empire, the once peaceful farmers banded together and systematically battled their way to Rome, eventually capturing the capital.
The MongolsLed by the savage and brilliant Genghis Khan, whilst employing terror tactics and a style of warfare so revolutionary it still inspires military strategists today, the Mongols built the largest empire the world had ever seen.
The Huns
Led by the legendary Attila, the 'Scourge of God', the Huns' military prowess led to the creation of the Great Wall of China and brought the Roman Empire to the brink of destruction.
The Vandals
The power-hungry Vandals swept through Spain, then across North Africa, and eventually to the gates of Rome itself. Through sneak attacks and cunning tactics they succeeded in facing down the awesome military might of the Roman Empire.
The Saxons
This Germanic tribe was considered particularly warlike and ferocious. The island of Britain was ripe for conquest, and the opportunistic Saxons took full advantage.- Studio:
