They arrived like specters on the tide... quiet at first, then roaring with furious intensity.

Discover the full, unbroken saga of the Viking raids and invasions of Britannia. Over two and a half hours, we trace the longships as they first appear on English shores, striking Lindisfarne in 793 CE. From that moment, the whirlwind of violence escalates. Towns are torched, kings fall, and kingdoms crumble. This is the epic tale of Anglo-Saxon resistance, changing power in early medieval Britain, and how the Norse established new strongholds in York, East Anglia, and Northumbria.

We explore the driving forces behind these Viking raids... greed, hunger, conquest, revenge, and religious fervor. You’ll learn about Ragnar Lodbrok, the Great Heathen Army, King Alfred’s stand at Edington, and the rise of the Danelaw. This documentary captures it all: from the first strike to the final stand.

Journey with the Viking longships as they sail up the Thames, through Mercia, and across the lands that would become modern England. See how their seafaring mastery reshaped centuries of British history.

If you’ve ever wondered how a small band of seaborne warriors toppled kingdoms, or what daily life looked like during the Viking Age in Britain, this is your answer.
