History of the Faroe Islands

The Faroe Islands have a long history, Irish monks were said to have inhabited the Island as far back as the sixth century.

Vikings were later to replace these Irish monks and settlers and they are primarily responsible for the language which is spoken on the Island today.

The Island has belonged to both Norway and Denmark at different times, often with a lot of conflict as to whp truly had the right of control over the Islands.
