Too bad history does not bear that out.

How so? As you point out, it provided no mitigating influence against murderers like the two Olafs.
After Christianity took hold, the raids stopped and the Age of the Vikings ended. And it probably did mitagate the Olafs. I'd be interested in the comparsion between the before and after death tolls.
And claiming that the Norse were unaware of the law and jury trials is also bearing false witness.
Nobody claimed that. You were referring to the persecution of women accused of witchcraft. Trial by Ordeal was how the determination was usually made.
Much of our current system of laws comes from the old Norse/Germans, with a direct link back to the pre-Christian Saxon common law.
There was much good in those laws, and much that wasn't.
Once again... not exactly miraculous.
Nobody's claiming it was in that regard. Conversion is a personal miracle, not a public one.
