Trigger warning
I’d like to think that my blond Sicilian mother’s hair that I inherited came from Viking Blood!!
What I’d love to see is, given the same weaponry, who the best fighters ever would have been.
Americans Marines, Roman soldiers, the best Gladiators, Vikings, Huns, Spartans, Mongols, etc.
Nobody remembers when my ancestors were docile. They just focus on the more aggressive period.
The Vikings.....like AMWAY with swords.
A lot of times the traders and the Vikings (raiders) were the same people. Pillage one town and sell the stuff in another. The dragon heads could be removed when they were trading or entering friendly territory so as not to scare the spirits of the land. When they went Viking they would put them on.
Free Trade bump.
If you have ever eaten lutefisk, you’d understand why people would kill to get carry-out haggis.
