It all starts on a peaceful little farm along the Seine where the Franks are fishing and tending their fields where oats, peas, beans and barley grow. (I assume that song is historically accurate.)
But in the distance they hear the splash, splash, splash of oars. It's the Vikings come to pillage the town!!
As you can imagine, chaos ensues...especially when you have three little boys at the helm. Eventually the Vikings take over the area of Normandy and many become farmers. Some however still have wanderlust in their blood; Eric the Red tries to persuade them to come to his new settlement on the lush, island paradise of Greenland. "Come on over, Guys, the weather is fine!!"
Oh, bother.
