Hi - the Vikings, generally, get a bad rap - yes they were raiders, robbers etc. but also traders and eventually settlers. A lot of their bad reputation is due to Hollywood discovering and embellishing a good story, maybe even starting with Richard Wagner giving the Nordic Gods and Heroes horned helmets - the 'true Vikings' never wore horned helmets - they would have been awkward in battle. Still a good movie - thanks NBD - Taurisk check this out:
