What people said
Lars BrownworthAmerican historian, author of The Sea Wolves and The Normans, and creator of the 12 Byzantine Rulers podcast
Brownworth says longships could cover far greater distances per day than English armies, which was the Vikings' key advantage.
“The Viking longships could average 70 to 120 miles a day. So they're just moving in super fast motion”
