It's that dang little thing called Christianity.
Once them priests got up there all the fun times were over.
Ya, I come from a long line of lutefisk eaters. And I ain't that good a Christian. That turn the other cheek stuff just don't cut it.

No, the Vikings ended up staying in Northern England and Scotland, becoming the ruling class in Russia, the Normans of France and Sicily and
the Varangian guard in Constantinople.
Modern Scandinavians are mostly descended from the wusses who stayed home.
