model immigrants ping.
Yeah, comparing them to Muslims the Vikings were model immigrants.
Most of them just wanted to head South in the Spring for a break. How were they to know that there were no ATMS in the Isles and France?
Due to no ATMs and being left to their own devices by the unethical travel agents, they had to sack the monasteries to get the cash the non-existent ATMs couldn't supply. They are victims.
So what we are being told here is that illegal immigrants are kind, lovable and help our culture not hurt it. This is veiled political correctness. As a history teacher I always look at the underlying politics of any “new” outlook on currently historical beliefs. Accept the illegal immigrants and the legal ones trying to change your laws and culture. Its good for you. That’s the real message here.
My DNA indicates that I am a Dane (maybe a Viking?) who went to Ireland in ancient times and stayed. (R1b, DYS390-23)

Countries and history is nothing but conquest and destruction.
All those tall, round stone monastery structures in Co. Wicklow, with the entry door quite a ways off the ground and only accessible via ladder, where the monks would retreat when Vikings came a-pillaging, would tend to undermine this historical revisionism.
"intermingle" (verb, from Old Norse): to administer an ax in the back or a sword across the throat.
“Deliver us, O Lord, from the fury of the Norsemen.
They ravage our lands, they kill our women and children!”
8th Century English prayer.
Same here. Distantly my haplogroup is IA1, which is called the Viking haplogroup. My most recent ancestors were Irish and English. Strange to contemplate that I may have berserkers in my lineage.
Correct. They left many blond hairs and blue eyes on the British Isles...
As a Viking in large part, I can safely say that we swapped some excellent ideas for their women and valuables and lived in harmony with their relatives (read wives).

Just ransack a couple of villages and rape their women and suddenly you’re some terrible person.
