You know Ragnar Lothbrok wasn't a real person, right? He's a folk hero; a semi-fictional amalgamation of various stories, myths and legends, some true, some completely false.

So a show that's entirely about Ragnar Lothbrok isn't going to be entirely historically accurate. You know, because the very premise of it isn't historically accurate.

Viking is an occupation and temporary one 90% of the time, usually a lord/noble/king would make a proposition to go raiding to make a buck or seize some land kind of like mercenary work but impromptu and grassroots. Sometimes even groups of commoners would form temporary raiding bands but it was mostly people who could bring a lot of funding to the table like noblemen.

;tldr

Viking raiding is basically a business venture and stupid idiots believe these modern memes.
>>
>>71625418
Vikngs were pretty brutal from the sound of it. I mean, OP's webm is obviously just a dramatization, but they had a pretty violent culture. That's the impression I got from reading the Orkneyinga saga, anyway. I think part of comes from the fact that they were pagans at the time when much of Europe had converted to Christianity. Therefore there was no obligation for them to respect the rules of Christendom and they could plunder Christian settlements without fear of divine retribution.

The vikings first of all never were an unified people, but rather an lose group of Germanic tribes who built their economy upon nautical ventures (plundering and trading). Also the only reason the culture of the vikings doesn't exist any longer, is thanks to increased centralization and christianisation of the Scandinavian tribes in the early middle ages brought upon by German influence.

Why change the world "mostly" to "just"? Raiding is risky business and most were in fact simply typical farmers or traders.

Only difference that time is that men were numerous enough to have a bigger impact on the areas they raided. They were still mainly commercially oriented ventures and they did get loads of their income from trade just like any pirate.

Are you retarded? The other guy is right. Everything is wrong. Ragnar might be a legendary figure (though he is tied to historical figures), but many of the other characters are historical figures, including Rollo, Harald HÃ¥rfagre and Ragnar's sons.
The problem is that they fucked up everything that they didn't have to fuck up.
The geography is wrong. Kattegat is a dutch term used for the sea between Denmark and Sweden, that only came into use long after the viking age. In the show, it's located in a fjord in western Norway. Also, Ragnar wasn't Norwegian. He was either Danish or Swedish.
Rollo, or Gange-Rolv, wasn't Ragnar's brother, didn't live in the same era, nor was he a traitor who defected to the Franks. In fact, he was much younger than Bjorn Jernside, who is portrayed as his nephew in the show.
Harald HÃ¥rfagre was also just a young child when Bjorn Jernside invaded England with the great heathen army.
Odo wasn't killed, nor was he a traitor. He somewhat successfully defended Paris against Rollo, and later became emperor.
Floki is a bullshit character. There wasn't a single person who invented the longships, as they had existed in various forms in Scandinavia long before the vikings started raiding Europe. The vikings also knew about England, and it wasn't just some legendary country no one in Scandinavia had heard of.
Viking society was run somewhat like a democracy, and not like a dictatorship as it's shown in season 1.
I could go on, but there is virtually nothing in the show that is historically correct. There's nothing wrong with a bit of artistic license, but why would they deliberately get so many things wrong when they don't have to?

Yes they did trade, and no they weren't all bearskin frenzied axemen, but this "THEY WERE ALL PEACEFUL TRADERS, THEY DINDU NUFFIN!" revisionism is retarded. They raided, pillaged and enslaved huge numbers of people and places.

Their first interaction with the rest of the world was LITERALLY burning and pillaging a fucking monastery.

They weren't all sunshine and daisies like 'muh proud nordic heritage' fags will have you believe.

1. it implies that the hegemonic rule of "Vikings" would have lasted this long (1100-1300 years) and;

2. that somehow, b/c they weren't established dynasties of vikings all over europe, that must mean they were not violent. That's bullshit. They were pretty violent, and that's on terms of their period, which in itself was quite violent.

That is all true, but you know why that is true, correct?

The Renaissance brought back about 30-40% of Roman heritage. We've retained most of what the Renaissance brought back.

Figuring the conversation was about literal landmarks/physical entities, I wanted to be generous and not claim that Roman ruins litter the countryside of western europe (which is true).

if anything, I've been defending the supremacy of the roman empire.

>The Renaissance brought back about 30-40% of Roman heritage.

Not quite correct, the renaissance was something more to do with the greek, and greek revival.

>Roman ruins litter the countryside of western europe

Roman ruins are indeed very numerous, unfortunaly most of them are being destroyed by the urbanization.

>>71631048
>they didn't conquer Normandy,

Offered the rulership to stop the invasions. They didn't conquered.

>half of England (Danelaw), Much of scotland, Ireland

Can give you this, i don't know enough about that part of history

>Raided the coastline down all the way to North Africa

So did the arabs. Did you know the arabs raided Iceland? This is no feet to be proud, of the killing of fisherman villages and monasteries.

>emplyed by Byzantium as crack troops

Simply because they weren't corrupted by internal feuds. They weren't prone to internal struggles, because they were forigner. They weren't some kind of elite troops.

>Ran Russia

Wow, omg, wow. And not Russia, but Rus

Anglo Saxons and Jutes mate. They did actually leave a large genetic impact. They were from Denmark and around

true on the urbanisation point. as to the renaissance: broadstrokes, it brought back elements of "Classicism", starting with standardising latin.

Don't forget Roman legal/juridical system which was later on used to shape what is pretty much the modern legal system in many countries
>>
>>71631653
The renaissance also brought the usage of local languages in literature (Spanish, english, Portuguese, german) instead of latin.

Renaissance did not bring any more latin cultural impact. If anything i think it continued, or even accelerated, the loosening of the latin cultural grip.

I didn't write it because i know very little of it. But yes.

Some people truly underestimate the impact that roman empire and christianity had on western civilization.

Arabs have tiny dicks, m8.

Why do you think they prefer little girls, lad?
>>
>>71631193

Those "cultural practices" were not exclusive to the people you'd usually associate with the term "viking". People often forget this. For example the other Germanics had been doing very similar things for hundreds upon hundreds of years also before.

Normans that conquered sicily under guiscard had little scandinavian blood left. they were already integrated in norman culture.

>>71633719
Anglos, Saxons, and Jutes invaded the British Isles some centuries before. And they actually left a genetic impact. Those 3 tribes were from Denmark

Italians are not arabs.

Vikings did simply not give a fuck. They were the masters of their fate. They took what the world gave them and fought for their lives and prosperity when challenged. Pic related is all you need to know about the average viking mentality.

Literally niggers
>>
>>71634800
There were no niggers in the north before 1800. The first imports were slaves. Niggers became common place here after our people got cucked. Way after viking culture perished into the funnels of history. The difference? Far before this you had viking adventurers carving their runes all over the world by their own will.

Christians were ISIS of the times. They destroyed holy sites like Donnar's Oak and many Scandanavians converted under threat of death. Some practiced it in secret for centuries. Christians eventually morphed into the weak people they are today preaching love. Post Vatican 2 Popes are all Islam loving cucks.
