I have two friends that have Viking blood in them.

Both of them are helpful, kind, and generous.

They are also very exuberant, strong, have tons of energy, and speak really loud! Like conversation yelling!!!

I know a wannabe Viking , he listens to Viking music climbs walls, but he will turn on you if you have nothing to offer him. I guess that’s what Vikings do.

I have recently discovered from DNA that my father's family has Viking ancestry. On his father's side they apparently came to England with William the Conqueror who was not Norman French but rather, Viking. On his mother's side, we are descended from Norwegian Vikings who raided and settled the coast of north-east England. It turns out that many pioneers of America and the Old West in particular, had Viking ancestry.

yeah, Normans weren't French. There's hardly a hairs width between the northern Germanic peoples, Saxons, Jutes, Vikings etc, they would have all understood each other. Not all Scandi's were Vikings though, the Vikings were the seasonal raiders

EE qualifies as a Viking.

My old man was Norwegian. I am quite certain his ancestors bitd were Viking, he was berserk from time to time, not that that's necessarily a bad thing. Someone made the mistake of trying to mug him once in NYC. It didn't end well for the bastard. Mum had Swedish parents but was born here. Norway and Sweden? No wonder I'm nuts.

Ah, ah
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, singing and crying:
Valhalla, I am coming!.....

Back when the Vikings were at their marauding best most Europeans had a completely different take on them.

Yeah, like justifying a massacre of them because the Vikings were pretty-boys who combed their hair and took a bath once a week, and the Anglo-Saxon wives were unable to resist them.
