Vikings were not only garbage at fighting but even the ''le tall muscular guys'' is a meme as the skeletons found are...

Probably. Germanic people are generally pretty big

And for a while after, too. Carletoon Coon regularly describes 173cm averages as "very tall," and says the tallest people in Europe are the Montenegrins and Irish at averages of 177

Which is weird because we're quite short/average now (Irish that is). Wonder what happened, famine would be my bet

I always found it amazing that the majority of Irish warriors did not wear armour yet they killed thousands of heavily armoured Vikings. Truly a warrior race.

Big compared to who?

Most vikings couldn't afford armor either.

bullshit

Gauls and Cro-Magnons skelletons are 170-175cm talls. And Tarim mummies from 1800BCE are 198-210cm tall

lol no

I visit pol daily to honour my viking aryan ancestors, I've personally attended several heavy metal viking concerts and donald trump rallies. You need to accept my ancestors raped yours and ancient greeks where germanic

Greeks switched to linear B because of germanic invasion and genes

>vikings were bad at fighting

Yeah gotta be a real cool guy to murder innocent villagers and monks and then jump into their boats when resistance shows up.

>and then jump into their boats when resistance shows up.
Except they didn't

Not an argument, retard.

Italians

>british shitholes
>actual clay.

Is there an actual need to bring /pol/ and /int/ childishness into discussions on Veeky Forums?

Anglos, Jutes, Cimbri, Teutons and Danes came from the same place.

>muh England!

the only country when they showed some balls and they still got BTFO

My chihuahua is big compared to Italians.

Yet only vikings are shilled as big why is that so?

I wonder who could be behind it?

his maiden mother and quuen was SCANDID during the raids and now seeks revenge

;^)

did the last celtic king live in there after the anglo-saxons and eventually the viking colonists from normandy set up a dynasty which still lasts : | )?

Since when do vikings speak Latin?

Skimming real quick. Wiki notes Rus as Vikings.

Because had a habbit of making the only people capable of writing down history super butthurt. So whenever somebody looks at what they wrote, Vikings come up again and again.

That list of battles pretty much proves they sucked.

Since the franks took their sons to court

no it doesn't they fought a lot more but they were SO FUCKING BRUTAL that no one was left alive to write some stupid list

It's roughly 18ish to 23ish on the win lose ratio for Vikings with about 6-7ish weird cases where it's not entirely sure who won, including cases of Viking losing, but then securing their objective anyway, or where a city was successfully defended, but the "victors" still had to pay the Vikings to leave, even cases where fleeing Vikings probably would have lost but someone killed the enemy king so the enemy fled. There is also no real mentioned of numbers of fielded troops, so we have no idea who outnumbered who either, only numbers I could really seem to find was "Franks killed 5000 Vikings" or "Franks killed 8000 Vikings" but without any actual numbers fielded, there's no telling whether the Vikings were outnumbered or outnumbered their opponentns in battles they won and lost respectively, it's really hard to ascertain whether they were great or shit warriors. Even looking at end results instead, you still get the Vikings eventually getting kicked out, but at the same time repeatedly settling and conquering shit. A lot of the the articles are really fucking vague in explaining anything.

The only thing we can really take from this is that "viking strawnk best warriors" is a dumb meme, an that "lol vikings lose to any real resistance" is also a dumb meme.

lol vikings lose to any real resistance

Lmao almost every battle result says ''Saxon/Frank victory'' and battles involving vikings are supposed to prove what? That vikings were good fighters compared to vikings?

>I assume the Vikings were on the Scottish/Irish side
You are retarded. They were Irish/Scottish vikings. They controlled Dublin and parts of coastal Scotland. It wasn't Gaels doing this you retard.

>bait

When you post these threads to you type out baits before hand too?

>bait

There were 9 Viking on Viking battles, and they were not included in the count of win loses, because as you said, they prove nothing.

Alfred the great defeated the vikings! FACT! and he cucked the Viking leader Guthrum, making him converted to Christianity!

>tfw named alfred
Feels good.

He also paid danegeld first time around.

Laugh last, laugh best.

Not it's definitely Viking hate thread No. 592!
