Explain that Scandinavia was originally a self-sustaining agricultural society that produced its own iron goods and conducted some minor trading. Archaeological evidence suggests that rapid population growth created so much pressure on the limited amount of land that the people turned to the sea as raiders. People derived the term Viking from the Scandinavian term A-Viking

Irish and Vikings The Vikings were a people from Scandinavia. In the second half of the eighth century, they started raids on England, and during the next centuries, their raids and lands formed an important force in European politics. But apart from these raids, which went as far as Italy, the vikings were also important traders. Especially the vikings from Sweden played an important role, sending their ships up the Russian rivers, and through small portages reaching places as far as Constantinople and Persia. Nevertheless, here too they were conquerors as well as traders, and various of the main prinicipalities of medieval Russia, such as Novgorod and Kiev, were established by them. One viking trader that we know by name is Ottar (also known as Ohthere), who told king Alfred of Wessex about his voyage northward along the Norwegian Coast to the White Sea region. His is the oldest known voyage around North Cape. In the west, the Vikings colonized a number of lands - the Hebrides, the Orkneys, Faeroer, Iceland. The latter country was first seen around 860. It was discovered by accident by Gardar Svarsson, who was blown off course going to the Hebrides. The same happened to Naddod around the same period. Next, Floki Vilgerdasson spent a Winter there, the colonization of the country was started in the 870s, and by 930 viking colonies were spread over all of Iceland. Like Iceland before, around 930 Greenland was discovered by a viking who was blown off course, his name was Gunnbjorn. The first viking to colonize Greenland was Eric the Red. In 982, Eric was banned from Iceland because of manslaughter, and he decided to explore the country discovered by Gunnbjorn. After three years he returned, talking enthousiastically about the land, which he called Greenland, and in 986, he returned with several shiploads of colonists. Two colonies were started, the eastern and the western settlement, both on the west coast.

Click the arrow Legend The Cooley Peninsula resounds with legends and folk tales about giants, fairies and the great deeds of Cuchulainn, Queen Maebhe and the Red Branch Knights of Ulster. Once upon a time... there was a famous Irish giant called Finn McCool. After his titanic battle with the Scottish giant, Ruiscare, Finn lay down to rest on the Cooley Mountains . They say his outline can still be seen on Slieve Foy today, behind Carlingford town. Wake and listen on a still, quiet night, some say, and you will hear the echoes of his snores... but perhaps it's just the waves. The Cooley Peninsula was the setting of one of Ireland's most famous stories, the epic saga of the Tain bo Cuailgne , the Cattle Raid of Cooley , the folk tale of the single-handed battle between the hero, Cuchullain, Hound of Ulster, and the armies of Queen Maebhe of Connaught, herself possessed by an insatiable lust to possess the mighty Brown Bull of Cooley.
