Norwegian and Danish Vikings battle for control of Ireland. There is an illustration and map showing the Faeroes, Hebrides, Shetlands, and Orkneys, with text explaining their occupations by the Vikings. Vikings discover and colonize Iceland. They create the Althing, "one of the world's oldest governing bodies." Slavs invite the Viking leader Rurik to rule over them. Rollo and his Vikings take over Normandy. French king Charles the Simple co-opts them into his realm. Vikings establish a tenuous colony on Greenland.
