desu bump

Beta fags only good at pillaging undefended settlements but getting their asses handed to them whenever they had to fight even token resistance.

worthless meme """"warriors"""" that pillaged monasteries and lost every actual battle they fought

>(The Danes) …caused much trouble to the natives of the land; for they were wont, after the fashion of their country, to comb their hair every day, to bathe every Saturday, to change their garments often, and set off their persons by many frivolous devices. In this matter they laid siege to the virtue of the married woman, and persuaded the daughters even of the noble to be their concubines

The alphas took all the women and property so they had to go abroad and raid for women and wealth.

Alpha fags

The individual raiding groups could be considered to be a little beta, but the ones that ended up settling in britian and northern france are alpha.

Oh look it's this meme again

Best warriors to ever roam the face of the earth

What is Danelaw
What is the great heathen army
What is Dublin

They were a culture that saw an opportunity to prosper in the divided lands of Europe. They weren't "Alpha" or "Beta" you gibbering man-child, they were a multitude of people, each with their own character, note a monolithic hivemind.

>Sweyn Forkbeard invades England, BTFO's Aethelred and becomes king of England in retaliation for this

beta because they killed learned,unarmed men of god in robes and plundered their gold destroying precious remnants of civilization
vikings where basically the niggers of their time
if you kill your enemies they win, that also makes them betas as they killed people which violates the non aggression principle
also they got btfo by potato niggers

They were a progressive people that never raped and treated their women with respect

Thank you viking series

I've read that the Varangians were pretty badass. Everytime they got ashore in the russian rivers, they feared to lose some dudes to nomads.
When you became to sick you would just be left behind. Slavery was dangerous, but worth it in gold and prestige.

Varangians weren't Vikings. They had to convert to Christianity to serve in the Byzantine army and they were formed by several Germanic ethnicities, not just Scandinavians.

Not an argument.

>They had to convert to Christianity to serve in the Byzantine army
Proofs?
>and they were formed by several Germanic ethnicities
It was all Scandinavian besides a single wave of Anglo-Saxons, (who at this point were basically Scandinavian themselves) that came after the Norman conquest

The true beta uprising.

just scary

This stupid thread again.....

I don't like having to link shit on wikipedia, but you made me do it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varangian_Guard

>The Rus' provided the earliest members of the Varangian Guard. They were in Byzantine service from as early as 874. The Guard was first formally constituted under Emperor Basil II in 988, following the Christianization of Kievan Rus' by Vladimir I of Kiev. Vladimir

>By the time of the Emperor Alexios Komnenos in the late 11th century, the Varangian Guard was largely recruited from Anglo-Saxons and "others who had suffered at the hands of the Vikings and their cousins the Normans".

>England gets literally conquered as a revenge
hmm

>Varangians weren't Vikings

>Christian
>Viking

There's a reason the Viking Age ends as soon as Scandis are Christianized.

>he thinks being pagan is needed to go viking
viking age ended in 1066, well after the christianization of norway. the last raid was a few years after the official "end" of the viking age

Don't most people say the Viking Age ended when Harald Hardrada died?

yea, that's considered the end of the viking age. although, there were a few more raids after his death.

If Jews had sold Slavic women to Arabs, Persians and Turks you would never hear the end of it on /pol/ but when Swedes do it's epic White power.

Knights > Samurai > Vikings
