Germanic religion even after the Roman Empire adopted Christianity. They also retained their ProtoGermanic language. Each tribe spoke a different variety of this language, but they were in close
contact with one another and probably understood one anothers dialects with little difficulty.
During the 6th century of the Christian era most of the Germanic tribes that lived in what is today
Germany converted to Christianity and adopted European civilization. But the tribes to the North
the inhabitants of what is today Denmark, Norway and Sweden retained their Pagan religion and
their savage way of life. The inhabitants of Christian Europe referred to these people as Danes,
Vikings, or Northmen. We refer to their language as Norse even though it is closely related to
the Proto-German spoken by Christianized tribes that had become absorbed into European Christian
civilization. Beginning about 800 A.D. groups of Vikings began to attack the coasts of England,
Scotland, Ireland and France. The part of France that was conquered by the Normans (a French
word meaning Northmen or Vikings) is still called Normandy. Eventually these Viking people
converted to Christianity and became part of the general population of Europe.
