WHY?Powerlessness – many attacks on their homelands from abroad – particularly Charlemagne’s invasions in the late 8th / early 9th Century (Charlemagne’s armies would kill non-Christians)Agriculture – limited land to feed the population (especially Norway)Demographics – a “youth bulge” – too many young men (eldest sons inherited everything, other sons had to find fortune elsewhere)Economics – economic troubles in the Middle East had a domino effect making old markets less profitable across Northern Europe
