In the regard that the only Irish cities of note were build by Vikings

What if the Irish monks developed a unique fighting style to defend themselves and taught it to worthy students from all over Britain?

I'm surprised japanese didn't make manga about ebin irish stick fighting guy wanting revenge on vikings after they killed his mother yet.

No, just better organized and led by leaders who've shared a common goal.

The Eastern Slavs who've participated in the creation of the Kievan Rus were vastly better at building large, walled urban settlements than their Varangian counterparts, but they were still defeat by the Varangians, tribe by tribe.

Why are you so upset?

>>1528822
If someone posted the same pic and said it's a slavic or celtic or niggeric hut you would mock it and call it garbage but since it's norse then suddenly shacks are comfy.

>>1528844
Summer cottage culture is very strong in my country and I find that hut pretty comfy looking.
Would spend a week in that/10.

By the time those trading ports had become cities the Vikings were long gone.

And? The reason they developed to important cities eventually was their beginnings as centers of viking trade
