Vikings did raid Moorish Spain once, and after pillaging some peasant villages they got driven off by professional troops that would have been little different from the later almogavers.

>Almogavar is the name of a class of soldier from many Christian Iberian kingdoms in the later phases of the Reconquista, during the 13th and 14th centuries. Almogavars were lightly clad, quick-moving frontiersmen and foot-soldiers.
>The Almogavars were considered one of the best infantries of their era.

They were pretty much an unstoppable force.

Cringe, might as well compare a modern soldier who'll put a bullet in their heads to them.

What does that mean?

Most Americans who acknowledge that the Vikings included many women in their battle-line, would say, the Vikings

>>3100449
Something like: "With Devils we have stumbled against!"
Or "We have run into the Devil!"

According to Ramon Muntaner's Chronicle, those words were spoken by the Count of Breda, a French commander, when he saw the furious, enraged mass of Almogavers waiting for them, shouting war-cries and striking the earth with their weapons, creating a 'sea of sparks' flying out from the stones.

>>3100328
why did they conquer so less of Germany,if they were the closest to them?

>>3100705
Maybe they were friends?

Who'd live with Germans by choice?

>>3100767
Even Germanics don't like Germans

Most Americans, learned their history of the Vikings from the History Channel of the same name. They learned that the Vikings were a virile and manly, yet feminist-empowering society, much superior to the corrupt, weak and effeminate Christcuck Franks and Anglo-Saxons.

It is how progressive American males wish to imagine themselves as- rugged with a beard, a flannel shirt, yet sensitive and respectful of women.

They were a comparatively small kingdom with a low population compared to their neighbors.
