>get driven away from England by Saxons >get driven away

Large parts of England and Ireland were conquered by the Vikings though. In fact several English kings were from Scandinavia.

Hence why vikingboos even exist. They endlessly romanticize vikings despite them being little more than barbarians and at the best of times traders.

>>296544
I'm just saying it's erroneous to claim that they were driven away from England and Ireland when they enjoyed great success there.

>Using the word barbarians
They were good traders, adventurers, raiders, navigators and shipbuilders. Saying they were gods of war would be wrong, but saying they were shit is completely missing the point.

such success

2bh the Viking wars in Ireland were one of the most humiliating defeats for the Vikings ever.

>is there anything more pathetic than vikingboos? When confronted with these facts they always resort to memes and insults or saying ''but they were cool'' as if being a failure was admirable.
Yes, Naziboos.

The fact that the Danelaw existed sort of disproves whatever theory you have about the Vikings. I'm not saying the vikings were good warriors but they did manage to defeat the English, impose their laws and settle their lands. Much like their descendants the Normans did a century later.

This thread is about mocking vikingboos. Using the word barbarians seemed to fit.

>>296604
They didn't defeat the English. They defeated a couple of English kingdoms, but they eventually lost to the English.

>>296591
Same thing. For some reason neonazis love vikings and see them as defenders of white race and paganism despite the fact that not only Moors kicked their asses but they converted to christianity

>>296616
Yes they did. Sweyn Forkbeard and Cnut literally defeated them and were crowned their kings.

Why does /his/ get so butthurt about vikings? Is it because they slaughtered Christians?

>>296646
So did Romans and people like them. It's because vikings are always shilled as great warriors when in reality they were shit tier fighters and their only saving grace were great ships.

>>296646
Christians were butthurt about getting raided by vikings so they made vikings out like devils.

Anglos picked up on this historical biased and took it too far in the other direction in order to wank to their viking roots.

They are no different than the japanophiles wanking to Japanese katana folded over 1000 times.

>>296674
If they were shit tier fighters there would be no Danelaw, Normandy and Kievan Rus'

>>296686
Russians literally asked them to govern them there was no bloodshed.

York and Norwich are both Norse settlements. So while they were driven away from England, it wasn't without effort.
