WHY CHARLEMAGNE HAD A VENDETTA AGAINST VIKINGS | THE LAST JOURNEY OF THE VIKINGS | ABSOLUTE HISTORY

Cinemavixion Review

This documentary from Absolute History delves into the complex relationship between the Vikings and the burgeoning French Empire under Charlemagne. It posits a fascinating scenario where Charlemagne actively resisted Viking incursions, refusing to cede Christian lands to pagan raiders. The narrative explores the evolving nature of Viking settlement and their eventual assimilation into European society, as evidenced by the naming of Normandy and the Norman conquest of England. While the film promises a new and surprising perspective on this often-misunderstood people, it is presented through the lens of 'The Last Journey of the Vikings' series, suggesting a broader exploration of Viking impact on the continent. The documentary aims to combine expert historical analysis with dramatic reenactments to shed light on the true story of these formidable Norse explorers.
