Why are vikings so admired today?

[ChefPapiChulo]

Is it because of the Nazi propaganda that glorified Viking history?

They discovered America, we’re in part responsible for France (Normandy), creation of Russia (Rus), established trade routes across the known world, employed in Byzantium Empire as Varangian guard from Kievan Rus. Founded Greenland, Iceland, raided and settled numerous countries including England, Scotland and Ireland. Their descendants the Normans had a major impact on the medieval world.

As sailors there were able to navigate across the Atlantic, North Sea, European Rivers, Mediterranean.

[ChefPapiChulo]

What do you mean responsible for France?

[ChefPapiChulo]

Also, rus isn’t Russia.

[ChefPapiChulo]

LMAO why would you say so much nonsense with so much confidence?

The Vikings founded Normandy after the Battle of Chartres, this lead to a long history with Normandy first providing a King of England and lands for the English crown. The battles in Normandy and Aquitaine between English and French led to the creation of what we now see as France, it looked very different to how it is now and may have never been without those Rus landing in Normandy and their raiding which resulted in people there banding together to fight them

Because it is fairly well documented history.
Don’t believe me go look for yourself.
Or just remain uneducated, don’t not concern me

[ChefPapiChulo]

Are you trolling me. France was a kingdom before Normandy was giving to Viking raiders (who weren’t Rus). What schizophrenic rant are you on man?

[RebelinSteel]

It was the kingdom of the Franks
Anyhow muted

[ChefPapiChulo]

Yes the Kingdom of France got their Kings from the descendants Charlemagne. What are you on about?

[ChefPapiChulo]

“Don’t not”

Lmao what?

Nazis glorified germanic tribal alliance against Roman Empire, especially Arminius who lead germanic tribes and defeated Roman Empire at Teutoburger Forrest around 9 AD. It was at least 600 years before first Vikings raids happened in Europe and Vikings became even a topic.

[MemeMaester]

U too qualified fr

[ChefPapiChulo]

Absolute nonsense. They glorified the Viking raids and conquest to support their racial superiority and claims to conquest.

[ChefPapiChulo]

Norse mythology rose during the Nazi reign, along with the rejection of Christianity.

[strateguy632]

that is probably why
