Depends wholly on the perspective; in most of Europe the Viking Age is a part of the Middle Ages beginning at the fall of the Western Roman Empire (around 476) but in traditional Scandinavian historiology the Middle Ages is regarded as beginning around 1050 at the end of the Viking Age. Generally, Viking Age culture had little to do with what we traditionally connect with Medieval society, such as feudalism, the role of the Church, Catholicism and Islam, the Papacy and Monastic orders, the birth of the universities etc. so I intentionally refrained from posting Viking docs here but feel free to do whatever you wish :)

Examing the skeletons is what I would like to watch more, since Its the first time I ever seen anything like that. Great found, thank you for this.

I award you with my +.
