Tall, strong and fierce warriors from harsh, mountainous lands second to none in battle and the terror of Europe

>Kicked out of all those places apart from Dublin and waterford
>Posts kingdom of Dublin

>All those vikingboos cherry picking a few battles
LMAO

>>complains about cherry picking and then posts an image that is the very definition of cherry picking.

lol

To be fair, the cross as a symbol predates christianity by many years.

>French gave them Normandy
Solely because Frankish monarchs understood that Paris could only be raided through the Seine, and that by bestowing Normandy (which is the mouth of the Seine) to the vikings, all raids would end because vikings wouldn't raid their own lands nor would allow other vikings to pass through the Seine.

Genius move in the end.

Also
>raiding Paris
Heh they didn't even the guts to fight the peasants that lived there. Only besieged them and would wait for the locals to grow tired of their shit and pay them to journey elsewhere.

No it was not ''tall as fuck'' even back then.

retard

Name some significant viking military feats.

>Big collection of sources vs posting single ones
Nah

>The Vikings themselves were kicked out of all of these places apart from Dublin and Waterford.
>Dublin
hurrrrrrrrrr

>all the vikingboo tears ITT

cm on average

Pretty normal height for medieval peasants

Exactly. So they were not fucking giants as vikingboos think.

>Vikings granted passage of the Seine and 700 livres (pounds) of silver

French cucks PAID the vikings to raid France and breed french virgins

lol no, that image is cherry picked copy pasta from a asspained xtian. The norseaboos by contrast could care less about the whining of the people who got their shit stomped by viking pirates.

Such an achievement on viking side.

Name some of the people vikings stomped aside from monks.

You mean places they plundered?

>using trollface in 2016

I always knew vikingboos are underage.

>Complaining about xstians
>the only Vikings who ever managed to conquer all of England were Christians themselves
>Vikingboos will bullshit all day long about how über Christian Normans were Vikings

>>comparing norse in the early middle ages with modern blacks.
lol

Sweyn Forkbeard was a christian as well.

>Snowniggers can only win battles if they outnumber the enemy

Embarrassing.

Not to mention that the only record for this is on the Rus' side, so it might as well be fiction

>vikings were a meme people
>vikings were a people

Viking was a profession, not a nation or ethnic group. It basically meant raider or pirate. There was a Danish and Norwegian people, or Norse/Scandinavian people in general, but no Viking people.

>Only besieged them and would wait for the locals to grow tired of their shit and pay them to journey elsewhere.
Money and loot was the goal. Not conquest. The Vikings sacked cities instead of occupying them in general.

>defending niggotry in any time period

Destroying every single Anglo-Saxon kingdom save for Wessex.

My bad man, I meant to post this image.

>this is what snowniggers ACTUALLY believe

>map includes Norman conquests
Wow

Are you guys fucking retarded?
A lot of the developing world nowadays is on average shorter than 172 cm. Hell, fucking industrial era European men were on average 165 or 168 cm.

The Vikings were farmers you fucking retarded idiot.

So maybe the farmers shouldn't be shilled as warriors you fucking retarded idiot besides swiss pikemen were originally a bunch of nobodies as well yet they were way more competent than memekings.

Just helped England unify desu

>So maybe the farmers shouldn't be shilled as warriors

Blame 18th century romantics then you sperg.

Then got kicked silly by the last.

Just to clarify, the anti-Viking meme on Veeky Forums comes from a bunch of Polacks who are assblasted about /pol/ and think Viking = German, correct?

I am myself a Germanic and I just participate in it because I find the pro-viking meme really, really annoying and that I am a contrarian at heart.

I blame modern fuckers who took them seriously more.

Polacks like vikings because muh Wolin.

>he doesn't know that literally every Christian symbol is pagan in origin

> conquered main Irish cities
They didn't, the conquered some parts of coast that then would go on to become major cities. The actual main Irish cities were largely inland and consistently under Gaelic rule until the Normans showed up.

Not long after they showed up however, the Vikings got absolutely put to shame by the Irish.

Why do Vikings cause so much whining and butthurt?

Good thing Christians worship Jesus not symbols.

t. protestant

Correct.

Probably some western European who took a DNA test that revealed their ancestor was raped by Scandis.

The vikings built Dublin

I wouldn't say the pro-vikings are any less butthurt than the antis.

Wow that's very warrior like I'm sure they killed those bricks.

And lost it like a bunch of wimps.

Jesus Christ anti vikings are even worse than vikiboos

The asspain is strong in this thread.

Vikings had no redeeming qualities as warriors that's why. They were great sailors and that's what people should focus on not muh Valhalla and heavy metal bullshit.

Literally nothing in their posts was even remotely butthurt though.

>The vikings were great warriors, look at those houses they built
>But that don't mean they were....
>HA HA HA, butthurt!

Did you even read the post

Did you

did

d

This is not true. There should be a word for what you just did. A word like "absurdly-comparing-pre-modern-northern-europeans-to-subsaharan-Africans-to-mock-northern-europeansism" but shorter.

This thread is about vikings being great warriors.
Both of this posts answered someone that said they built Dublin.
I don't really see what's wrong with any of them.

...

I dunno man I was trying to start a meme

>

>"We wuz warriors n shiet"
>every edgy teenager ever

Snowniggers, not even once.

>t. viking rape baby
just accept it and move on
vikings raped Christian Jewrope
it was the last instance of pagan pride, before Scandinavia was Jewed (Christianized)
stop crying about it

Threads like these are why Veeky Forums is a shit board.

Why is it wrong?
Vikings were seen as Africans at that time.

But vikings converted to christianity retard.

If it was a clear showcase of pagan pride, why didn't the vikings mind raiding other pagans?

>It's another "Veeky Forums throws down over vikings" episode

What the hell is it about vikings that makes them such a contentious topic here? Their battle prowess has obviously been exaggerated in folklore, but they still did other noteworthy things, like exploration, trade, and colonization. It's nothing you spergs need to freak out over, for fucks sake.

>The chronicle implies that it was the most successful military operation of the Kievan Rus' against the Byzantine Empire. Paradoxically, Greek sources do not mention it at all.

literally fabricated

>durrr

And then settled half of England. The Vikings also conquered all of England in the early 11th century (King Cnut).

Because the Finnish and Baltic pagans were even poorer then they were.

vikings are trash, not like that's something new

no Veeky Forumstorian regards "vikings" highly

The Viking Age was the last stage of the Germanic Migration Period. People here are still mad at the Goths for sacking Rome. French are mad about the Franks.

King Cnut was a Christian, Vikingboos will often to always claim this is some big Christianity-pagan dichotomy, not some Nordic-Other people one.

whats the origin behind this meme?

>people unironically defending vikings on Veeky Forums

Is this for real, or some sort of /pol/ raid?

>We must protect ourselves against Christianity
>Let's go and raid our pagan brothers so they will be kept poor and defenseless against other Christians

Carl the cuck.

Because exploration and trade are not what makes a good warrior so they shouldn't be fucking compared to other warriors if their only achievements are not even related to warfare.

>Vikings can't be Christian
Interesting.

Literally every viking thread is some butthurt user rambling about how sore his rectum is

What gives?

What makes people so mad?

According to vikinboos they can't though.
For them it's always some "Brave pagans fighting against Christianity" thing.

>Not long after they showed up however, the Vikings got absolutely put to shame by the Irish.
The Irish were finally able to take Dublin in the 12th century, long after the end of the Viking Age.

I don't care what Vikingboos do. The Vikings did conquer all of England until the Norman Conquest (descendants of the Vikings).

Who cares?

Sounds like crusaderfags and naziboos?
