But the violent Vikings of the 8th century became the pious Christians of the 11th century, who gave gold crosses to Christian churches and in whose areas of rule pagan idols were destroyed and churches were built.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSo how did this radical transformation happen, and why? What difference did it make to the Vikings, and to those around them, and what is their legacy today?
