Question

How did the Vikings eventually establish Vinland?

Answer 1

Herjólfsson later sold his ships to Ericson, who sailed west intentionally and was not blown off course trying to reach Greenland after meeting King Olaf, as in the Saga of Eric the Red. With wood being in very short supply in Greenland, the settlers there were eager to explore the riches of this new land. Ericson explored this coast and eventually established a short-lived colony in what he called Vinland.

Answer 2

The Vikings are a variety of pirates and they caught over lands. They did not only steal and assault people. They were peasants, sailors, traders and more. Some even converted sovereign guards to the Byzantine emperor. And they frequently grow from Denmark. In the year 1000, Leif Eriksson was cruising from west Norway to Greenland but his ship ran off course due to heavy winds and he arrived on North American shore. He traveled farther south and dwelled in a coastal area he named Vinland.
