Despite the Vikings’ losses, the Byzantines allowed the Rus Vikings to trade in the city. Other Vikings settled eastwards, establishing the Kievan Rus, laying the foundations of modern Russia, and sailing down the Dnieper River to raid Constantinople, only to be driven back by the Byzantines. The decreasing temperatures however brought these ventures to a halt. In 986,, the Vikings sailed west of Greenland to further expeditions for food, and trade opportunities with the Inuit tribes. Īnother century later in around 984, the Viking Hidden One and skald Þórvaldr Hjaltason participated in the Battle of Fýrisvellir against Styrbjörn the Strong. During this period, the Anglo-Saxons referred to the Viking invaders as Danes. They were met with opposition from King Alfred of Wessex, the Grand Maegester of the Order of the Ancients.

One such Viking was Eivor Varinsdottir, a shieldmaiden of the Raven Clan and ally of the Hidden Ones. Nearly a century later in 873, the Vikings returned to Great Britain to expand. Feeling pity for him, the Viking raider killed him without a second thought. However, the Anglo-Saxon was overcome by grief, crying out that God had abandoned his people and that nothing remained but chaos. In 793, during the Lindisfarne raid, a Viking raider fought against and defeated an Anglo-Saxon warrior, whom he then offered the chance to join his clan. This period of time (793–1066), eventually became known as the Viking Age. Vikings were a group of Norse people from Scandinavia, who from the late 8th century to the early 11th century, raided, pillaged and traded with their neighboring countries during the Early and High Middle Ages.
