Description
Vikings and their settlement from the 8th to the 11th century. There is even evidence that some of their traders went as far as Qatar and the silk road.
The settlement area donยดt imply that they were majorities all over those regions, but rather that a significant number of Vikings settled or ruled there.
I used several reference maps and some contradict the other, so I did as good as possible, but if you happen to see mistakes let me know.

Hmm in fact the Germans are very mixed as well. I live in Bavaria,
but got Scandinavian blood as well, doing a DNA test as well.
There are even more Scandinavian genes in Northern Germany
and probably also in former East Prussia, so you can be both.

FOR ODIN!! *Pillages monastery.*
I feel like all those navigable rivers are ripe for the old 'It's free real estate' meme. 
Excellent work, as ever. Keep it up.

Indeed, they even came as far as Qatar with their products!

Love it! I especially like the brighter colour scheme compared to your older maps. Also, although intricate borders can be fun to make, I rally appreciate the minimalist one youโre using here.ย
Great work!

Thanks a lot, yes I wanted to keep it simply in that case^^

Marvellous work, it's a really interesting historical document. Yes, they pillaged several southern towns in Iberian Peninsula and got to the Caspian Sea through the "Russian" rivers... It's certain that they found the heat they didn't had in Scandinavia... XD
(*) I've seen a mistake in the south of Iberian Peninsula: it's Medina-Sidonia, not Medina-Sidonid.

Great map as always
There was also a danish settlement at Guรฎnes, near Calais, it was a "mini Normandy" vassal of the County of Flanders

Wow cool, I also know that Saxons were on that coast in the 5th century^^
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yeah, Saxons were in the whole coastal area of the dรฉpartement du Pas-de-Calais, and their Frisians "cousins" were in the French Flanders
Saint-Omer was an harbor at this time, and was settled by the two cultures

Thatยดs so interesting, I wonder if you got some Saxon blood in you
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Statistically, it's likely x) I just know that I have Flemish, Artesian, Picard, Champenois, Lorrain, Alsacian, Germano-Czech blood x)
And that Louis VII and Aliรฉnor d'Aquitaine (with all Capetians, Carolingians & Merovingians before them) are my ancestors ^^ so Frankish blood too

Hm a Spanish mate once told me that in his region are rune stones and settlement rests,
it was in the northwestern tip as on the map.
But it was probably not as relevant as one might think and disappeared quickly. Sometimes the Vikings
just stayed some months and then shipped on.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I mean, I'm from that northwestern tip and this is the first notice I get that we have rune stones and Viking settlements. Maybe he just confused the Bronze Age petroglyphs and Iron Age ruins that are literally everywhere, the coast included?
About your second paragraph yeah, that's true (some expeditions, like that of Gunrod in 968, who was probably related to Harald II of Norway, stayed a couple of years before being expelled) but I don't know if that is enough to say that there was Nordic settlement like in Britain or Normandy.
Also, I commited a couple of errors in my other comment: it wasn't the archbishopric but just a regular bishopric (the archbishopric didn't exist until 1120) and in the first siege, in 858, the inhabitants of Santiago were forced to pay a ransom to avoid being sacked, so that may be considered raiding, I dunno.
Finally, thanks for the watch!

Yes that sounds very plausible, so actually it should be just green, idk why my reference mark it as settlement.
Maybe they really mean just some years^^

I assume this is including later Norman settlements and conquests as well?

Partly yes, but only till the century in the infobox.

No, I don't think so
