Where did the Vikings come from?

Correct Answer: Denmark and Norway

The Vikings came from Denmark and Norway — two Scandinavian nations bordering the North Sea. They were skilled seafarers who began raiding the British coast in AD 789 and later settled large parts of northern and eastern England in an area known as the Danelaw.

The Vikings had a lasting influence on British culture, place names and language. Many English words and place names ending in '-by', '-thorpe' and '-ness' derive from Old Norse.
