In reply to David Nikel. I grew up in MN, and 100% Scandinavian. 49% Norwegian, 23% Danish, 23% Swedish, 2% Icelandic, and 2% Rus. I'm 81, and visited Norway and Denmark in 1980. I spent two weeks visiting Norwegian relatives. My name is in a Norwegian History Book.

In reply to Mi. The Norman's from Normandy, France, under William the Conqueror, Conquerord the English leader because he and his Army were exhausted from fighting off the ," Heathen Army" - Danes? up in Yorkshire. Then these Norse, French speaker ingredients invaders kept their French language for a lifetime or so. Their descendants then with French and perhaps English understanding, we're the " Ruling Class" of Britain down to Queen Elizabeth 2nd and now King Charles 3rd.

The vikings did not
do Germany. Answering this would help us understand why England, Ireland and France were attacked. Ireland had many interlocking separate kingdoms. The invasion was marginalised to a few city states which became critical for trading all around. Their boating and shipping processes appear to underpin so much in the Viking era. They could get around because they had good boats and had multiple invasion sites and ports that became settlements for extended raids that transmorgified into trades. But the Vikings never got settled inland in Ireland. Then they got their heads around motte and bailey but by then they were Normans. But the real Vikings were marginalised to Oxmanstown in Dublin as the Normans (Vikings who spoke French) took over. They became history. How in history did the Normans turn into English. So that the English could take the blame? And the Normans today are they really gone?

well…they were all one *race* from the Scandinavian region and indigenous to that region, though they were not all of the same sub-region, and they weren’t all of one tribe, clan, or geo-political entity as we recognize them today.

In reply to Victor Zaharov. Varangians were the elite guard & soldiers of the Byzantine emperor. They were not only Vikings and were founded in the 10th century. Vikings started raiding in the 8th century. So obviously it was the Vikings.
