That’s not all they did. Vikings also raped, pillaged, murdered and enslaved. From the eighth to the 11th century the Vikings terrorized Europe, from the British Isles in the north as far as Sicily in the south. The Dublinia Museum in the heart of the Irish capital explains that “slaves were a valuable commodity in the Viking age… Vikings took Irishmen and Irishwomen as slaves.”

"This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue over who killed who."

Figures that a British tabloid would fail to mention that the British also used slavery as a punishment tool against the Irish while raiding, pillaging, and ruling at least parts of the island for about 850 years.
