attn: future queen of new england

[Richter]

Vikings are one of few historical examples of white people knowing how to roll.  The pirates adopted these traditions along with others. 

ECH, for example, is proof this abiility i retained in certain bloodlines.

The Vikings weren't terrible.

The people writing about them just thought they were.

Seriously, they're like...the original trolls.



I mean...here you get this boatload of sassy young men with long, well combed and washed blonde hair, well maintained facial hair...dripping in their wealth and wearing awesome striped pants, simply looking to make a trade or two. And what happens? The Christians flip out, because they're "pagan", and accidentally on purpose knock off over a lamp, setting Lindesfarne Cathedral on fire.

The Vikings, looking to help their new friends, tried to put out the fire, but the monks freaked out, thinking they were being under attack from these heathens, and killed themselves as the Vikings continued to try to beat the fire off of the bricks. The surviving monks fled to the mainland, and wrote the account of this vicious attack, warning everyone in their path, but all the Vikings wanted to do was say hi as they passed through.

They were framed. Totally. Framed.
