>The Rurik dynasty or Rurikids (Russian: Pю́pикoвичи, Ukrainian: Pю́pикoвичi, Belarusian: Pýpыкaвiчы) was a dynasty founded by the Varangian[1] prince Rurik, who established himself in Novgorod around the year AD 862.[2] The Rurikids were the ruling dynasty of Kievan Rus' (after 862), as well as the successor principalities of Galicia-Volhynia (after 1199), Chernigov, Vladimir-Suzdal, and the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and the founders of the Tsardom of Russia. They ruled until 1610 and the Time of Troubles, following which they were succeeded by the Romanovs. They are one of Europe's oldest royal houses, with numerous existing cadet branches. As a ruling dynasty, the Rurik dynasty held its own in some part of Russia for a total of twenty-one generations in male-line succession, from Rurik (died 879) to Vasili IV of Russia (died 1612), a period of more than 700 years.

>>2564320
an american would be the one who thought it was strictly Irish vs Norse and nothing else

>>2564327
I'm irish, i just posted the "vikings btfo" thing to stir shit

>>2564256
sweyn forkbeard and cnut the great both conquered england. when sweyn died, the english tried to invite the old english king back but got defeated by cnut. the danelaw too took a huge portion of england.

and those polabian slavs had to pay tribute to denmark for a while, so i'd hardly call the vikings shitty at fighting them when they had to pay the danes tribute to fuck off.

the norwegian crusade resembled a viking raid a ton, only this time it was called a crusade instead of a raid, so i thought it would be fair to add it. the italian city-states and the roman empire were a lot more different than harald hardrada's army and sigurd the crusader's army

how can you even expect a few farmers to gain a foothold against aggressive natives, with no muskets or anything like the europeans 500 years later would have?

normandy was given to gange-hrolf and the norse influence gave rise to the name "normandy". no vikings, no normandy, simple as that

>>2564258
have fun with those viking settled cities

>>2564320
Whats with /his/ and hating Americans.

>>2564327
Yeah but that's a much more understandable conclusion to come to considering the Leinster forces seem to have been two thirds Norse. "Scandinavians fighting Scandinavians" is much worse because it was ultimately an Irish conflict between two Irish factions, one of which depended heavily on Norse manpower.

>>2564196
Oral history doesn't have a "record". Is precisely why it has less value in unravelling history

>>2564336
>have fun with those viking settled cities

"The battle was hard-fought and bloody, with fighting lasting from dawn until dusk, until Ivar's army broke. The Dal gCais pursued the broken army beheading many foreigners along the way back to Limerick and stormed into the city, ruthlessly sacking it and massacring all of the inhabitants."

you can't really say the pope got a history of protecting the weaker of his flock against the stronger

Vikings were opportunistic terrorists in their day; they preferred that their prey was off-guard so that it made pillaging easier.

What they should be more renown for is their wanderlust; their daring seafaring (a crystal they utilized for navigation is equivalent to a modern GPS) and their hunger for trade. They're hardy fighters, but not the meme that Nordic asspergs like to tout.

If anything, their Norman offshoots are far more deserving as the daredevil warriors of the 10th to 12th centuries. Their exploits in Spain, England, Ireland, Sicily, southern Italy, and the Holy Land are the stuff of legends. Ideally, France should've been more like the Viking-Frankish hybrid that the Normans were.

The fact that the Normans spoke a dialect of French is what turns off a lot of Vikingboos. The Normans were god-tier fighters but I really hate what they did to Anglo-Saxon England and later Ireland.
