Where did they go? What happened to them?
There are sites that say "nothing happened to them they just went back to being peaceful"
>warriors

Really makes you think.
What happened to the vikings?
fuk ur thread, too many happenings
>What happened to the vikings?
they are still around.
They became Christians.
f
Christians happened....changed the entire agan world
They became the ruling class in like a dozen different states all over Europe for one thing
Medieval societies removed the undesirables (ie they outcast and killed criminals) at a higher rate. It was a culture shift to become more noble and "moral". This moved us towards the age of enlightenment where we peaked as a species between 1700s - 1900s.
They only went raiding because agriculture had taken off so much due to an extended warm period. They had excess population due to this and started expanding.
the end result of that expansions was
>Implying vikins had success against any people but anglos.
They raped one of my ancestors and now their blood flows through my veins as per the DNA test we did.
>feels good to have the literal blood of cold-blooded warrior flow through my veins.
You mean to tell me a warrior class of people who could not be controlled or have their ways changed stopped what they were doing and submitted to what the rest of Europe wanted?
I'm not having a go at you, i'm just saying that makes 0 sense.
The only way you could get rid of warrior classes was to destroy them either by eradicated them like the Spartans and samurai, or occupying them and colonizing them like the Maori.
...what are Normans?
They took and held large portions of the Netherlands as well. Raided all the way down the rhine, and the seine including Paris itself.
Some minor Vikingr activities happened into the 1100s, perhaps as late as the early 1200s, mostly around the North Sea and Scotland. The events of 1066 were probably very demotivating for the entire "industry" of what going Vikingr entailed, in terms of raids and conquests. Vikings were not always hostile, but also traders, and they mostly went along that course, henceforth, with more formal military plans taking the place of raids in Scandinavian countries. Genetically, modern Scandinavians are still the Vikings, they just have not gone Vikingr for centuries.
they found antarctica after spending hundreds of years in the sea exploring for new lands
Maybe raiding became less attractive as crop production increased.
except for the Swedes. The modern Danish and Norwigans were the ones that actually did most of the raiding and trading.
They were mostly traders and farmers to begin with. They settled a lot of northern england. All they wanted was land. They became farmers. Then swedecucks and britbongs.
What happened to. Roman empire. Bro
It's pretty funny that Alfred the Great and William the Conqueror were both post-vikings. It was clearly a stagnant culture.
>...what are Normans?
A Germanic people established on France. Are you mistaking Germanic people from the time of Rome with Nords from middle age?
>Where did they go?
england
Swedish Vikings were mostly concentrating on the Baltic Sea and the lands of the Slavs and Balts, even the lands of the Finnic tribes, and went on to contribute to the foundations of Russia. The realm of the Kievan Rus was quite powerful during its times.
>Genetically, modern Scandinavians are still the Vikings, they just have not gone Vikingr for centuries.
I'm sorry but i refuse to believe this. Scandinavians are cucks and if you are a decedent of warriors you will not submit to cuckery for it will be in your dna to fight.
Even today the Maoris don't fit into western society, yes i know theyre shitskins blah blah but they still have that fight and warrior attitude within them because they are decedents of warriors and thats why they will always have problems with Maoris in New Zealand.
>1066
Normans were former Vikings. They took control of it.
>American education
No, in 1066 the Normans invaded England from French, defeating both the natives and parallel viking invaders.
Don't mistake the Normans for the vikings they defeated during the invasion.
Don't know what you mean by that, but i've heard william the conqueror eradicated the vikings.
Something to do with there was a heir to the thrown of england or france and the vikings took all of their men there to take it and william the conqueror marched his army through the night to suprise the vikings and fucked them up and the vikings went home with like 10 ships.
LMAO.
They were BOTH vikings.
William >Robert1> Robert 1st was an actual Viking.
Normandy was literally founded by a viking
Maybe you americans consider any warrior from that period a viking... Normans were mostly Franks with some small portion of nord blood inn the start.
Their culture, language, customs, weapons, methods of fighting... were all Frankish.
Vikings were primarily sailors and merchants. Raiding was at best a side gig.
>what happened?
It became more and more risky to raid as feudal systems built better defenses. If you have a significant chance of dying every raid, you very soon have to stop or disappear.
You can trace his lineage directly to Rollo. A viking that took over Normandy.
It was literally named after a viking lol
who has the american education now bitch?
Show your French flag.
Yeah the real french flag, the one without the red or blue kek
>The linage of a king show the blood composition of a kingdom...
It's like saying the English people are Norman, instead of Saxon and Anglo, because they were ruled by Norman kings for some time.
I bet Aztecs become Spanish the moment a Spanish conqueror started to rule them... it's not like the rulers bloodline magically change the subjects.
We didn't leave.
SOMA FERA
Norway adopted christianity quite «over night»y 1050, but do yourself a favour and google Sigurd Jorsalfare.
I know English and similar people have a very strong feeling for the Norman myth, years of wars with France made you unwilling to admit reality, but having having a shared blood line with Franks was the reason of the 100 years war.
