Why does the Viking Age officially start in 793?  ⚔️ #Viking #History #NorseMythology

Why do historians say the Viking Age begins in 793? Vikings had already been raiding Europe before that! From early attacks in England to evidence of Viking warriors in Estonia, the Norse were already making their mark—but Lindisfarne changed everything.
In this video, I’ll break down why 793 is the official start of the Viking Age and what made the Lindisfarne raid so different. Want to hear more about those other early raids? That’s coming up in my next video, so make sure you subscribe to be notified! And tell me in the comments—what do you want me to cover next? ⚔️
