Were vikings good fighters?

Good warriors, bad soldiers.

Well put.

Keep in find, I'm not shitting on First Nation- but they DID kick the vikings ass.

*in mind

>First Nation
They weren't First Nations, they were Eskimos.

...

200 tribal warriors vs. 30 men and women

They had bad equipment and were not really disciplined
They were more like pirates that attacked unprotected villages but flee when the enemy army approached them

As others have voiced, evidence points to vikings often being skilled at personal combat, but were likely inferior to anyone we would consider a professional soldier in way of discipline and other important factors.

However, I will say that their overall tactics were pretty solid, which is arguably the most important part of any military. Their style of attacking swiftly and leaving even faster did quite well in an age that required levies to be raised. Who needs the better fighter when you can take your objective anyways?
