Because Swedes have always been limpdicked faggots.

They did, but raided only the Baltic from what I recall, which is a little behind what the Danes and Norgestians were scheming in Western and Southern Europe.

>While the Danes and Norwegians went west and southwest in Europe, Swedes had their political interest mainly directed towards east and southeast in Europe. The large Russian mainland and its many navigable rivers offered good prospects for merchandise and, at times, plundering. These routes brought them into contact with the Byzantine and Muslim empires. Since the East was rich and well-defended, Viking activity there centered mainly around peaceful trade instead of the pillaging typical in Western Europe.

I want battles though, Why are there no documented Viking raids in the east?
Nathan Gray
The conquest of Lappmarken? Did you think they were peacefully relocated to the very north of scandinavia?

The Rus were 1% Swedish and basically everyone else was Slav.
Just read their army assembly, written by the Rus themselves in the Primary Chronicle;
"Leaving Igor in Kiev, Oleg attacked the Greeks. He took with him a multitude of Varangians, Chuds, Krivichians, Merians, Polianians, Severians, Derevlians, Radimichians, Croats, Dulebians, and Tivercians, who are Tors. All these tribes are known as Great Scythia by the Greeks. With this entire force, Oleg sallied forth by horse and by ship, and the number of his vessels was two thousand."
The Rus were not Swedes, or even Scandinavian, apart from the royal bloodline.
But even that bloodline was Slavenized by the 3th-4th generation already.
