Summary

"The Norse, also frequently called the Vikings, were the hardy, often warlike inhabitants of Scandinavia, Denmark, and some nearby European regions during the mid-to-late medieval era. The first of those two crucial aspects of Norse people's beliefs was the way they envisioned their world. On the one hand, it was thought that the events of people's lives were directed or influenced by either an invisible force-fate-or the will of various gods"--, Provided by publisher
