reading about vikngs is the most disappointing historical experience that's for sure. Everything awesome about them is just made up. They were great sailors though.
>vikings were honorable! I don't think anyone has ever said that.

in that show vikings they had a scene where ragnar's son is sharing his wife with his brothers and she says 'How can you do this?" and he goes 'Because we're vikings" made me laugh.

whats up with butthurt meds obsessing with trying to deny and insult nordic history? is it some kind off inferiority complex?
They're a bunch of pirates, what did you expect? Also, they brought Albanians to the Balkans from Sicily.

This is why childhood is idolizing the Vikings, adulthood is respecting the Normans. I have more respect for the Rus Varangians than the regular Vikings.

"I have seen the Rus as they came on their merchant journeys and encamped by the Itil. I have never seen more perfect physical specimens, tall as date palms, blond and ruddy; they wear neither tunics nor kaftans, but the men wear a garment which covers one side of the body and leaves a hand free. Each man has an axe, a sword, and a knife, and keeps each by him at all times. Each woman wears on either breast a box of iron, silver, copper, or gold; the value of the box indicates the wealth of the husband. Each box has a ring from which depends a knife. The women wear neck-rings of gold and silver. Their most prized ornaments are green glass beads. They string them as necklaces for their women."

Beyond his lust for BRC, where does this indicate the Rus are anything other than uncivilised nobodies?
