9th century
Viking Age period
The 9th century spans the years 801 to 900 CE.
Like other century designations, it refers to the hundred-year period ending with its number—the 9th century is not the 900s but the 800s.
Viking raids transformed Europe during the 9th century.
The 9th-century manuscript remains remarkably preserved.
