The Saga of Erik the Red, written in the 13th century, depicts a story of Old Norse Vikings exploring the land we now call North America. History tells us that Vikings were one of the fiercest cultures to exist with their presence creating a lasting impact between the 8th and 11th centuries.1 With celebrated stories of Odin, Freda, Thor, and many other characters that entertain us through Marvel and Disney productions, Vikings have a place in recent history that the world both loves and respects.
