Ten films in which Magnus Magnusson explores the Viking world. 2: Bolt From the Blue
In 793 unexpected assaults by sea-borne warriors from the remote fastnesses of Norway introduced the peaceful monastic communities of the north of England to the awesome terror of lightning attacks from the sea. Magnus Magnusson describes this ' bolt from the blue' and shows how even the mastery of Norway itself depended upon sea power -the age of Vikings had begun.
