ZED - Normandy, Land of Warriors (2022)

Normandy owes its name to terrible warriors coming from the North: the Vikings. These men ravaged the Norman lands until it was ceded to them and became their territory. Take a deep dive into the great armed conflicts that made the Normans one of the world's most powerful dynasties.
This is the true story that became a legend about Viking warriors that dominated France, conquered England, led Crusaders to the Holy Land—and then lost a mighty kingdom. In just three centuries, the Normans completely changed Western civilization. Norse heroes, knights-in-armor, clashing swords and palace intrigue—it's an epic saga.
From the Viking invasions to the great sieges of Richard the Lionheart, the history of the Dukes of Normandy is an incredible military epic spanning more than 300 years. During the Middle Ages, in the harsh and aggressive Normandy, every inhabitant was responsible for the prosperity and glory of their state. From childhood, Norman warriors were taught the art of war, the defense of their lands and strategic thinking. The rulers of Normandy, whose names have become legendary, accomplished great feats, leaving an indelible mark on history. Among them were such outstanding figures as Rollo the Viking, the founder of the Norman dynasty, William the Conqueror, the conqueror of England, and Richard the Lionheart, one of the most famous crusaders. Their stories are intertwined with the fates of nations and wars that changed the course of history.
