The following three centuries from 800 to 1100 A.D., from the Vikings incursions of the ninth century through to the Norman Conquest of England were a highly formative period in the history of the Isles, witnessing the emergence of England and Scotland as identifiable political entities. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursPrerequisite(s): 3 credit units HIST at the 100 level or 30 credit units of University level courses. Note:Students with credit for HIST 213.6 may not take this course for credit.
