Leif Ericsson -Leif Ericsson, son of Eric the Red, was born in and exiled from Iceland, and so set sail in search for a new home. -Leif and his crew sailed the coast of Greenland, until they reached Newfoundland. -Leif named the area he lived in, Vinland, after the vines crops grew on.

Leif Ericsson -One of Leif Ericsson's first voyages was east to Norway. - While in Norway, he and his men were taught the foundations of Christianity, and they converted. - Returning to Greenland, he taught the people of his new religion. - Wherever he went, Leif brought Christianity with him to newly traveled lands.

The Vikings -The Vikings were Germanic people from Scandinavia, who built settlements in Iceland and Greenland. -They terrorized towns along the coasts and rivers of Europe on their longships, murdering villagers and looting and burning towns.

The Vikings -The Vikings from Denmark invaded eastern Britain and northwest France in the eighth century. -Vikings from Norway established a Norse kingdom in Ireland in This kingdom lasted until a stronger group of Vikings of Norman descent arrived in Ireland in In the tenth century, Eric the Red left Iceland and settled in their new territory, Greenland.

The Vikings -They entered Russia during the eighth century beginning Viking trade, as opposed to plundering. -Products traded included gold, clothes, wine and fruits from the Greeks; silver and horses from the Czechs and Hungarians; furs, wax, honey and slaves from Russia; and silk and spices from Constantinople.

Hanseatic League -The Hanseatic League was an important, well-developed trade network in the Baltic Sea and the North Sea that dominated commercial activity in northern Europe. -The league was a series of trading cities stretching from Novgorod to London. -As a result of the league, the commercial significance of Poland, Northern Germany and Scandinavia were embraced.

Hanseatic League -The Hanseatic League sought to organize and control trade throughout the region by winning commercial privileges and monopolies and by establishing bases overseas. -Because it was only a trading league, rather than a political organization, peace had to be ensured by suppressing warfare between members and robbery on the roads. It is because of this decentralization that the league declined. -The principle trade consisted of grain, timber, furs, tar, honey and flax. Additional trade included cloth, copper, iron ore and herring.
