What If You Lived in Denmark in 800 AD?

It's the year 800, and you live in Denmark. Your house is long, dark, and full of cows. A comb will teach you what silver is worth, a king will build a wall across the whole country, and two hundred ships will take your father south. Live a whole life in Viking-age Denmark: the longhouse, the market at Ribe, silver from Baghdad, King Godfred's Danevirke, the raid on Frisia in 810, and what archaeologists still find in Ribe today. Would you have joined the ships, or stayed with the combs? Tell us in the comments. #Vikings #History #Denmark
