Ever since the Eighth Century, Scandinavians had not only looked to the west for expansion, but to the east as well. Whereas opportunistic young Danes and Norsemen tended to look westward to Great Britain, France and the North Sea to raid, the people of modern day Sweden had long looked eastward across the Baltic Sea to Finland, the Baltic States and Russia for opportunities of their own.

I've also compiled a reading list of my favourite history books via the Amazon influencer program. If you do choose to purchase any of these incredible sources of information, many of which form the basis of my videos, then Amazon will send me a tiny fraction of the earnings (as long as you do it through the link) (this means more and better content in the future) I'll keep adding to and updating the list as time goes on:-
