Ships depicted on the Bayeux Tapestry
Viking ships
There are many ships depicted on the Bayeux Tapestry. They are Anglo-Saxon and Norman models, but they would have been of very similar construction to Scandinavian ships at this date, and we can learn a lot about the decoration of the ships from these images. <span>For the full tapestry see </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayeux_Tapestry#/media/File:Tapisserie_de_Bayeux_31109.jpg" target="_blank">here</a>

News: DNA Hunters have opened Viking grave in Normandy
News
Norwegian researchers have finally been able to open the tomb of descendants of the Viking leader Hrólfr (Rollo). They plan to find out if Rollo was the same as Hrólfr from Møre. If he is, this would mean that the British royal family originated from Norway, and that the Norwegian royal family has a much older lineage than is currently believed to be the case.
