-->Hab da gerade was gesehen:

...
We have no accurate dates for the birth and death of Leif"the Lucky" Ericsson (also spelled Ericson or Erikson; in Norwegian, Leiv Eriksson den Hepne; in Old Norse, Leifr Eriksson), but we do know that around the year 1000 C.E. he made a historic journey to North America.

The second son of Erik the Red, as a young man Leif Ericsson visited Norway, where he converted to Christianity. He was charged with returning to Greenland and converting others there, but instead he sailed further west and is believed to have landed somewhere in Nova Scotia. It was once thought that he accidentally sailed off course, but Leif was more likely deliberately seeking the land that Bjarni Herjulfsson had spotted some years earlier. He spent a year in North America before returning home to Greenland, where he served as governor and preached Christianity.

Leif is often referred to as a Viking, but it's interesting to note that he lived at a time when the Viking Age was drawing to a close, and he was a devout Christian rather than a follower of the Norse pagan gods. However, he certainly displayed the Viking spirit of adventure and exploration.
