They were supported by squires, who fought only in an emergency, and professional calvary sergeants who were not members of the aristocracy. A code of behavior grew up, embodying all the characteristics of the ideal knight. He should be bold and brave, yet gentle, considerate, wise, and courteous. He should be a ruthless killer, but also fond of music, poetry and polite society. He should be inspired by the love of a beautiful woman, whom he worshiped from afar. He should be a good Christian, and follow the teachings of the Church. His manners should be perfect, his speech smooth and entertaining, his appearance manly, strong, energetic and elegant. Understandably, this ideal did not really exist. But he is a familiar figure in many medieval songs and stories, and tells us a lot about the qualities that people valued at the time. Chivalry, as this code of behavior is called, applied to the upper class only. Ordinary, rough soldiers were simply expected to shoot straight and obey orders.

Extractions: Skip Links Home Seminar Index In this seminar we attempt to assess the impact that the Viking raids and incursions into Frankia had upon the development of the Frankish kingdoms in the ninth century. Roughly speaking this question could be said to break down into several parts: What impact did the Vikings have upon the development of Frankish society? (Here, it is useful to consider the components elements of the population: thus, what impact did the Viking raids have upon Frankia's lords, peasants, monasteries and churches? Did anyone prosper as a result of the raids? Who lost out?) What impact did the Vikings have upon the development of the Frankish economy? What impact did the raids have upon the development of the Frankish state? Be warned: historians - not least the great pioneering social historian Marc Bloch - used to think that the Viking raids were one of, if not the, chief cause of the decline of royal authority in western Frankia that is evident from around 890, but more recent historians are not so impressed by this argument. In order to answer these questions we must first attempt to answer a whole series of preliminary questions to do with the nature of the Viking threat to the survival and prosperity of the Frankish kingdoms: What were the aims of the Viking warbands and their leaders?

From 8'000 years ago great settles are found along the coastal line of that time. 6'000 years ago agriculture was established. After a change of climate 5'000 years ago most of the farmlands were abandoned for colonization of the coasts and Baltic islands (for instance Åland), followed again by spread of settlements in the Scandinavian inland 4'000 years ago. About 4'000 years ago the contacts between South-Scandinavia and the European continent increased, and approximately at the same time the central and northern parts of Scandinavia came in closer contact with Russia and Siberia. Cattle and stock-raising became important in the South, and in the North a complement to hunting, fishing and gathering. Iron Age 500 B.C. - 1050 A.D.
