What was the Viking Age anyway? part two

This is the second part of the video on what the Viking Age was. In this video, I go in depth with the relationship between Scandinavians and Eastern Europe, and discuss how we can define the Viking Age alternatively, if we consider the good relations between Scandinavians, the Baltic peoples, and the peoples in Russia. The Viking Age has been labeled as a violent period of Scandinavian conquests in the British Isles, but if we think about the connections to the east, it might look very different.
