I'm the Queen of England!

Technically isn't the QoE a Viking, since she was descended from a Norman (1066) which were a merger of Viking invaders and locals?

So why has England let it self to this very day be ruled by non-English?

I mean there were only like 8000 Normans who took over, you'd think by now they could be kicked out.

A Viking was technically a Norse person who went out to sea to raid (or "go viking"). I don't think the QoE does that.

'I am a Northumbrian, born and bred, and quite frankly find the Vikings series an absolute insult. Can I just ask why most of you guys who like it put the Vikings on such a pedestal? We were one of the Viking's victims along with the Scots, Irish, French, Italians (the list is endless!). These people raped, murdered and slaughtered their way across Europe, yet this series more or less sets them up as some sort of an icon of warrior purity instead of showing them for what they really were - a set of hairy-assed Nazis, good at killing defenceless monks and unarmed villagers, stuffing their guts with stolen meat and drink and singing praises to their negative gods of destruction and murder.'

Fate of Norns is their best album. Johan Hegg has a role in some Viking movie.

Anyone who hasn't watched the Vikings show from History Channel, should. It's a goddamn entertaining show, however historical it may or may not be.

Holy poo poo yes! Please come pillage me m'lady.



BTW everyone should watch Vikings on History channel, it's a good show, good actors, great music, and probably the most "historically accurate" thing History has made in a decade, though that isn't saying much.


Yeah. Compared to the native Brits and Franks they were beating up on, Vikings were super clean cut metrosexuals. What with their weekly bathing and well trimed hair and beards. Most ppl the Vikings would have come across would have been really loving smelly and gross compared to the women and men they were used to. A lot of Brit and Frankish women were probably a bit turned on by the clean cut buff axe dudes. And of course the men would want some of that sweet sexy shieldmaiden rear end.

That being said, rape almost certainly took place and was likely rather swift and brutal when it did because people are awful poo poo-heads then and now.

The Vikings had a great system to get rid of excess young men. The oldest son inherits land, wealth, titles etc; the youngest gets sent off on a "magic adventure" to "fight the enemy"

Here, this sheild is magic. This is a magic sword. No really! Yeah so, ok get in a boat, go attack the first people you see, and try and take all their stuff, good luck! If you die you go to heaven!

Like 90% of them died, the few who actually successfully attacked some foreign people somewhere and took valuable stuff and then found their way home had the down payment on a house or whatever and got treated like a hero. Meanwhile your home population is stable and manageable.
