Vikinško doba

Vikinško doba (793–1066) period je u istoriji Skandinavljana, tokom kojeg su se oni proširili i izgradili naselja širom Evrope i šire nakon glavnog evropskog migracijskog perioda.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] Kao takvo, vikinško doba se odnosi ne samo na njihovu domovinu Skandinaviju, već i na bilo koje mesto koje su tokom ovog perioda značajno naselili Skandinavci.^[3]

Vikinškom dobu je prethodilo germansko gvozdeno doba.^[6] To je istorijski period kada su skandinavski Nordijci istraživali Evropu po njenim morima i rekama radi trgovine, prepada, kolonizacije i osvajanja. U ovom periodu Nordijci su se naselili na Nordijskom Grenlandu, Njufaundlandu i današnjim Farskim ostrvima, Islandu, Norveškoj, Švedskoj, Normandiji, Estoniji, Škotskoj, Engleskoj, Velsu, Irskoj, Ostrvu Men, Holandiji, Nemačkoj, Ukrajini, Rusiji, Turskoj i Italiji.

Vikinški putnici i kolonisti viđeni su u mnogim tačkama istorije kao brutalni napadači. Mnogi istorijski dokumenti sugerišu da je njihova invazija na druge zemlje bila odmazda za zadiranje u plemenske zemlje hrišćanskih misionara, a možda i usled Saskih ratova koje su Karlo Veliki i njegovi srodnici vodili na jugu,^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11] ili su bili motivisani prenaseljenošću, trgovinskim nejednakostima i nedostatkom održivih poljoprivrednih površina u svojoj domovini.

Informacije o vikinškom dobu uglavnom potiču iz onoga što su o vikinzima napisali njihovi neprijatelji, i iz primarnih arheoloških izvora, dopunjenih sekundarnim izvorima, poput Islandskih Saga.

Istorijska razmatranja

U Engleskoj, početak vikinškog doba datira od 8. juna 793,^[12]^[13] kada su Vikinzi uništili opatiju na Lindisfarnu, centru učenja na ostrvu kraj severoistočne obale Engleske u Nortamberlandu. Monasi su ubijeni u opatiji, bačeni u more da se utope ili su odvedeni kao robovi zajedno sa crkvenim blagom, što je stvorilo tradicionalnu (ali neproverenu) molitvu - A furore Normannorum libera nos, Domine, „Spasi nas od besa Severnjaka, Gospode”.^[14]

Tri vikinška broda su pristala u Vejmautskom zalivu četiri godine ranije (mada zbog pisarske greške, Anglosaksonski anali datiraju ovaj događaj na 787, a ne 789). Moguće je da je taj kontakt bio neuspešna trgovinska ekspedicija, a ne piratska racija. Lindisfarn je bio drugačiji. Vikinško pustošenje nortambrijskog Svetog ostrva je zabeležio nortambrijski učenjak Alkuin iz Jorka, koji je napisao: „Nikada se pre u Britaniji nije pojavio takav teror”.^[15]

Vikingi su portretisani kao potpuno nasilni i krvožedni neprijatelji. U srednjovekovnim engleskim hronikama, oni se opisuju kao „vukovi među ovcama”.

Prvi izazovi mnobrojnim antivikinškim stavovima u Britaniji pojavili su se u 17. veku. Pionirski naučni radovi o vikinškom dobu dosegli su malu publiku u Britaniji. Lingvistika je pratila poreklo ruralnih idioma i poslovica vikinškog doba. Novi rečnici staronordijskog jezika omogućili su većem broju ljudi viktorijanske ere da čita Sage o Islanđanima.

U Skandinaviji su danski naučnici iz 17. veka Tomas Bartolin, Ule Vorm i švedski naučnik Ulof Rudbek bili prvi da koriste runske natpise i islandske sage kao primarne istorijske izvore. Tokom doba prosvetiteljstva i nordijske renesanse, istoričari poput islandsko-norvežanina Tormodusa Torfeusa, dansko-norvežanina Ludviga Holberga i šveđanina Olofa von Dalina razvili su u većoj meri „racionalan” i „pragmatičan” pristup istorijskoj nauci. Do druge polovine 18. veka, dok su Sage o Islanđanima još uvek korištene kao važni istorijski izvori, vikinško doba ponovo se smatralo varvarskim i necivilizovanim periodom u istoriji nordijskih zemalja.

Naučnici van Skandinavije nisu započeli intenzivno preispitivanje dostignuća Vikinga sve do 1890-ih, prepoznajući njihovu umetnost, tehnološke veštine i brodogradilačke sposobnosti.^[16]

Donedavno je istorija vikinškog doba u velikoj meri bila zasnovana na Sagama o Islanđanima, istoriji Danaca koju je napisao Sakso Gramatik, Primarnoj hronici Kijevske Rusije, i Kogard Gadel re Galajb. Danas većina naučnika ove tekstove smatra izvorima koje ne treba shvatiti doslovno i više se oslanjaju na konkretne arheološke nalaze, numizmatiku i druge direktne naučne discipline i metode.^[17]^[18]
