Vikings spread all the way down to America in the west and Bagdad in the east. As time went on, the Vikings strategy's of raiding became less profitable and desirable as changes in Europe took place. They started suffering many defeats until their final battle in 1066 known as the battle of Stanford bridge took place.Added to timeline:
