The Vikings By Andonis Pavlides Ian Hamilton Nick Fahey
Social Divisions • At the start of the Viking age, the society was made up of numbers of tribes. All of the tribes were ruled by Konugr the king, now people say that he is not king as people understand it. The rulers had to depend on the Jarls. The social divisions were evident by the way the Vikings dressed. • By Andonis Pavlides
Kings • In the eight century no single person or group ruled Scandinavia because kings would rule over large areas. Most of the Viking kings came from royal families. In Europe they would go to battle to get the position of king. Most of the Viking kings had their own army to protect the kingdom and to keep order. If a king dies a male relative steps in to place but the kingdom will get smaller, Women could not be ruler. • By Andonis Pavlides
Local Towns and Villages • Local towns and Villagers would make their own rules and laws. • By Andonis Pavlides
Dress Styles • Peasant men wore belted knee length tunics over long trousers. The upper people would were similar clothes but a lot colourful and better quality. The woman wore button less dressers with or without a belt. By Andonis Pavlides
