When and why did the Vikings come?
The Vikings first attacked Britian in 793, the 8th century.
They invaded different countries because they wanted more land and in England to rule (they succeded in this!) They came to steal valuable jewels. They also left their countries because there wasn't enough food to eat and it was too cold to grow crops.
The Vikings got to all those countries by travelling in longships.
