Chapter 14

Review questions and map work
1. The Vikings of Scandinavia invaded the kingdom of the Franks. Let’s trace the path of the Viking longships in green. Start at the dot in Scandinavia (the dot between Norway and Sweden) and draw down through the waters until you get to the dot in the Frankish Kingdom.
2. Eventually, the Vikings were given some of the Frankish land. This land was called Normandy. In orange, trace the path the Viking settlers took from Scandinavia to Normandy.
3. Some Vikings sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to Iceland. Trace the path from Scandinavia to Iceland in blue.
4. The Viking explorer Eric the Red sailed west from Iceland hoping to find a new home. He found Greenland. Trace the path of his journey from Iceland to Greenland in red (for Eric the Red).
5. Eric’s son, Leif Ericsson, went exploring like his father. He found a new land that he named “Vineland.” Today we call that new land Newfoundland. In purple, trace Leif’s journey from Greenland to Newfoundland.
