Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The Viking period in England started in approximately 789 AD when the first recording of a sighting of a Viking ship is made!. It ends in the late 11th century, before the Battle of Hastings in 1066!. In other parts of Europe the Viking period has a different chronology!. For example the Normans were only a generation or two removed from the Vikings (Normans being a corruption of Northmen or Norsemen, other names by which Vikings were known as)!. The safest thing to say is that they flourished between the 8th and 11th centuries!. Www@QuestionHome@Com No no Melody, it was earlier!. Vikings were running around during the late 700s!. They had their hay-day in the tenth century, establishing powerful kingdoms not only in Scandinavia, but in Germany, Denmark, and the lowlands!.
