Recent DNA analysis has revealed that the Vikings had a far greater influence on Britain & Ireland than was previously thought.Could you imagine a bunch of big ,bearded thugs running at you with axes !!
Everyone knew that dying in battle was a gift and a trip to Valhalla
Poor King Harold of England had to march all the way several hundreds of miles to Yorkshire to rout the Vikings at Stamford Bridge, then march all the way down to the south coast to take on William the Conqueror in 1066.The Vikings had their asses handed to them by Brian Boru, Chieftain of Ireland in the Battle of Clontarf.
I think King Harold got his tactics wrong. He should have left the Vikings who were coming to the end of their power. They had taken English towns for centuries but always got pushed out and never got a foothold. The Vikings needed to take London and the south east to take England and Harold's crown. Even if they had taken the whole of Yorkshire it would have still been neither here nor there. That way Harold would have had more men and a fresh army to take on William at Hastings and would probably have defeated him. The Normans landing at Hastings only a few miles from London was always a far greater threat. Once he had beaten the Normans he could have still afforded to rest for a few days before marching north to take on the Vikings.Poor King Harold of England had to march all the way several hundreds of miles to Yorkshire to rout the Vikings at Stamford Bridge, then march all the way down to the south coast to take on William the Conqueror in 1066.The Vikings had their asses handed to them by Brian Boru, Chieftain of Ireland in the Battle of Clontarf.
Harold having held the Normans for hours got an arrow in his eye and the English broke ranks then suffered defeat.
Fair play by that time they must have been absolutely shagged!
They maintained trade routes to the Middle East whereto they sold the young blonde girls.Not traditionally, and not to any great extent before advanced sailboat shipbuilding techniques of the 1400s or so.They were also slave and sex slave traders. Some even say they were the Philistines
The concept of a Holy Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost was originally the Vikings' or Aryans' (white people's) interpretation of the Christian religion as it was revealed to them.
There is too much the lady to the Roman Catholic religion, which the Vikings rejected with stories of a lady's beard, the loud footfalls of a cat and other things that ought not to be.
Can you imagine that thing coming at you lol
