Justice for Nordic Crimes is a new pressure group seeking an apology and compensation from the governments of Finland, Norway and Sweden for the crimes commited by their citizens during the Viking period.

In North West England and Southern Scotland Viking invaders launched unprovoked attacks on thousands of innocent people, stole animals and crops and raped women

Between 793 A.D and 1066 A.D Vikings were responsible for more deaths than any other cause and their attacks only ended in the failed invasion of England attempted by Harald Hårdråde in 1066.

We are seeking compensation for the desendents of those people, in Newcastle and parts of Northumberland the effects of the attacks are still felt by the local community and stories are told of friends and relations lost.
