Nice alternative history mate don't forget to mention they conquered entire Asia and went to space.
Lucas Howard
That reminds me, I forgot to mention they discovered America
Angel Sullivan
Yeah that one is actually true. What I wonder is where did you get the ''conquered England three times'' or ,,coquered Russia'' from not to mention they got Normandy from Franks to serve as buffer zone they didn't fucking conquer it.
Jacob Martin
>''conquered England three times''
Great Heathen Army
Sweyn Forkbeard
Cnut the Great
>or ,,coquered Russia''
Rurik
>from not to mention they got Normandy from Franks to serve as buffer zone they didn't fucking conquer it
...After they had been occupying it for decades. Sure.
Lucas Jenkins
How can vikingboos both claim Rurik was invited by the Slavs and conquered Russia? Makes no fucking sense also there are no records of any battles involving vikings in Russia so you pulled it out of your ass.
Isaiah Cox
You forgot to mention when they were occupying Normandy Franks didn't even try to force them out and all vikings did is kill a bunch of monks. Such fucking conquest.
Bentley Cooper
Rurik was invited to the city of Novgorod, he conquered Kiev and his descendants conquered the rest of Russia.
Gabriel Sullivan
Christian monks were the worst warriors in history. Prove me wrong.
Jonathan Green
>vikings
>actually just Norse
Noah Lopez
Wow his descendants who married with the locals. Such vikings. Kill yourself.
Ethan Sanchez
Wouldn't the written history be biased against vikings because it was mostly written by monks who they sometimes raided?
Ryan Perez
People who were raided by Mongols hated them yet everyone knows they were great conquerors. Vikings were just inept at warfare.
Dylan Morris
And there was still a constant stream of Scandinavian warriors into the armies of the Rurikid princes
Henry Lewis
Source would be nice.
Lincoln Morgan
Vikings were dog shit
>HURR MUH CHRISTIAN SLAYERS XD
>except Rollo converted
>except Sweyn Forkbeard converted
>except almost every notable viking leaded converted
it's hard for stormfags to understand that they raided monks because they were easy pray not because muh pagan way of life
also it's worth noting they got rekt by SHORE GUARD in 820 and run away after losing only five guys. Such brave warriors.
Matthew Thomas
>conquered Normandy
They didnt though
They received it after a shameful defeat because the French king thought they would be great fodder to protect his coast

Sebastian Torres
Don't forget conquered and held half of Italy (the southern half) for long ass time.
Kayden Diaz
And created one of the most enlightened cultures of its time there.
Blake Harris
If Normans were vikings then Americans are British.
Cameron Myers
Ok, but these Normans and their accomplishments wouldnt have existed without the Norse in the first place.
Isaac Collins
That's true and the US wouldn't exist without Europeans so I guess we can say England landed on the moon.

n shieeet!
Carter Wright
Rurik didn't actually conquer Novgorod or Ladoga, he was appointed as a ruler. His domain was fairly small, not nearly the breadth of modern Russia, and his cretinous system of inheritance was what allowed the Rus' to fall under the Mongol yoke.

The Norwegians were taken by surprise by a force outnumbering them by thousands of men, and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle states that a single warrior held up the English army until he was slain.
I'm not claiming Vikings were an unstoppable military force they obviously werent, but this meme that they were somehow far less capable than their contemparies is fucking stupid.
Ian Collins
But vikings were all about surprise attacks themselves. Now when the role is reversed it suddenly doesn't count? Lmao.
