New issue unearths the rich legacy of Vikings in Britain

New issue explores rich history of Vikings in Britain

Dear Customer,

In the late 8th century, the first Viking raiders arrived on our shores in a maelstrom of fire and steel, setting in motion a period of profound transformation that would eventually unite an island of independent kingdoms into the country we know today.

Now, more than a millennium later, the once-scattered traces of Viking settlements have been restored to reveal the secrets of our distant past. Royal Mail honours the enduring legacy of

Vikings in Britain on the 40th anniversary of JORVIK Viking Centre with a new set of commemorative stamps.Our Viking Britain Special Stamps feature detailed composite artwork showcasing Viking artefacts and areas of archaeological importance like Northumberland's Lindisfarne Priory, the site of the first recorded raid in Britain.

So, voyage through the ages to uncover the stories of the settlers, merchants and would-be kings who traded, conquered and prospered across the nation for more than 200 years.
