Thx ...
They did more than raid
Danelaw was established to accommodate them as settlers and William the Conqueror was directly descended from the Viking Rollo who established Dane control over Normandy
For the record Shieldmaidens are mythologolical
But since they fit today’s politically correct insanity it’s promoted as truth
In all of Viking conquest land there is but one instance of a woman’s body found on the battlefield
In Rus conquest land
One
All of Danelaw in England and no instance found
Yet every Xer and millennial today watches the miniseries and believes women fought same as the men
Same folks who hate our military love the myth of women earriors
