In this episode, we trace the violent raids and invasions of the Vikings across the globe. From Lindisfarne in England to the coasts of North America, uncovering mysterious burials, we ask historians and archaeologists: what was the reason for these such expansive, brutal raids? The answer is much more complex than you might think. (Episode 3 of 5)
