Average male Scandinavian height in the viking era was 5’6” to 5’9”, not exactly fear inducing in this modern age.

That is fascinating. I had always imagined them as much bigger, even back then.

Thanks for that!!!

Compared to their European counterparts they were taller though, which is why they are probably romanticized like they are.

FWIW I am of Swedish decent and I am 6’4”. I think I would have caused some fear in the English back in the Viking Era.
