The Making of the Eastern Vikings Rus' and Varangians in the Middle Ages Introduction: In the early Middle Ages, the Eastern Vikings, also known as the Rus', and the Varangians were two powerful and influential groups that shaped the history of Europe. These groups were known for their exceptional seafaring skills, military prowess, and trading abilities. However, their origins, cultures, and histories have been shrouded in mystery and misconceptions for centuries. This book aims to shed light on the making of these two groups and their significance in the medieval period. Chapter 1: The Origins of the Eastern Vikings Rus' The Eastern Vikings Rus' were a group of Norse seafarers who originated from the region of Scandinavia, specifically from present-day Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. They began their journey towards the east, exploring new lands and establishing trade routes along the way. Their voyages took them to the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea, and even the Caspian Sea, where they established colonies and trading posts. The Rus' were skilled warriors and craftsmen, known for their expertise in shipbuilding, metalworking, and weaving. They were also polytheistic, worshiping gods such as Odin, Thor, and Freya.
