Olav Tryggvason came from England with many ships and men in the summer of AD 995. He came to claim the throne of Norway and to bring Christianity to the country\n\n\nThe conversion of Iceland to Christianity was formalized at the Althing in the year 1000.\n\nThe Swedes were the last to convert, even though a Christian church was built there as early as 829. By the 11th century, with Denmark and Norway both Christian, and with the Germans expanding along the southern shore of the Baltic Sea, more and more pressure was brought to bear on the Swedish pagans. Rather than a sudden conversion as in Denmark, or the imposition of the faith from the top down, as in Norway, the Swedish people converted only very gradually, and it was not until well into the 12th century that there were no more kings or great nobles who worshipped the old gods.

Alfred (Old English: Ælfrēd) (849? – 26 October 899) was king of the southern Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex from 871 to 899. Alfred is famous for his defence of the kingdom against the Danes (Vikings), becoming as a result the only English monarch to be awarded the epithet "the Great" by his people. Alfred was the first King of Wessex to style himself "King of England". Details of his life are known as a result of a work by the Welsh scholar, Asser. A learned man, Alfred encouraged education and improved the kingdom's law system (Doom book).

Okay, that period still has us in the Viking era, before the conversion of Scandinavia to Christianity. So we've got worship of the Norse Gods, as well as boat raids of other areas, and a culture that is martial.
