The witch hunts must have come AFTER Christianity to its violent and oppressive hold over Scandinavia.

@dadams71 Ah! The good old "No True Scotrsman" fallacy. Well, in that case, no one has been "true Christians" since Theodosius outlawed any other faith than Christianity in the Roman Empire in 392. Fact is, by your standards, no "christian" have been "true christians" since the first books of the gospels became bestsellers.

That's too kind!

@countk1 As a Norwegian, it would be interesting to see an empire fall on its own grip acroos the little lake we call the Atlantic. Other than that, point taken. I may point out that Charles The Bastard tried to force Christianity and its cross on the Saxons as part of some crusade. Perhaps our forefathers considered Christianity and the christian chiurch as part of the enemy picture, and hence perfectly lefit targets...As just for loot and slaves.

As a traveling Norseman, I have plenty to say about my countrymen. Both good and some shitty things. What happens when you travel abroad for many years, and learn how to see your own country with new eyes. Besides, there are plenty of things we like to brag about our system about - which some of us may not agree with as vastly overrated. As far as Norwegian spirituality is concerned.. We're among the least spiritual people on this planet, as welll as being among the most spoilt rotten people. As far as any "viking credetnials" are concerned, you having long hair and having an ounce of knowlegde about our past, does not make you a viking. Between the two of us, let's have a Holmgang about this.

My favorite viking was and will always be Eigil Skallagrimsson. Your favorite king? I might be tempted to say King Sverre.. But he came a 100 years after the viking age ended Haakon the Good? Eirik Bloodaxe? Magnus Lagabøte? Harald Haarfagre since he was born around your neck of these woods?

Wonder how a fight between Vikings and Mongols would be.
2
@Kay-jg6tf Thing is, viking and mongols had different fighting styles. Mongols fought on horse back, while vikings attacked from the sea, or fought on the sea. Besides, the descendants of vikings did encounter the mongols in Russia as princes and rulers. Kievan Rus. Moscow Rus, Novgorod. Their defense was not the best if you ask me. Some buckled under and got slaughtered, and others submitted to pay tribute.

@dadams71 Wonder what martyrs that would be you are referring to. The gospel writers?` The earliest church fathers who found themselves to be fat cats in Rome?

@countk1 Lindisfarne was raided in 792 by Norse vikings. Charles The Bastard was crowned Holy Roman Emperor on Christmas Day in 800 AD.

@jeanvaljean7266 I know.- And he was STILL a bastard! That doesn't change one bit.

Med helsinger fra en hedning og farende fant fra nord. Den siste viking er ikke død. Den siste viking er ennå ikke født.

Bottomline...We are all connected....Borderlines....Nationstates....Religious doctrines....All meaningless in a macrociosmos...Like flees who argues over who owns the dog which they inhabit.

That's why I'm lauging in the face of all militant nationalists who hates "foreigners" who think they own the viking heritage.

I have an excuse: I have already done my fighting. And can lay home, rest, and heal old injuries. Do you mind?

I always refer Harald Hardråde as an old has been loser...

Those were the times when borderlines and ownership was fluctuating.

I have always had a deep contempt for Olaf Trygvasson and the christianization of Norway. Even as a kid, hearing these tales from a teacher who was like a living encyclopedia. Back in 5th and 6th grade, some of us would listen to his stories between classes during lunch recess instead of going outside. Ans then we would re-enact some of the tales we heard. Like the fight between the Birkebeiner and the bagglers. Look it up.

'Vikings has ALWAYS been super woke. We have just evolved from the straight jacket of Xtianity. Knowing this will piss of freeper freaks and ethno-nationalists and makes me chuckle.

@dennisnordlund902 Don't think you'll enter any cuckservative utopia where you could worship your manly men without being bothered. Queston isn't whether Lgbtq people existed during those times. Question is how they defined it, and how they dealt with it on daily life. Some were more accepting than otehrs. Like many empires who had eunuchs in their bureaucratic system. The macine and oil that made empires work. Roman times were the worst. Emperors would marry men, women, eunuchs and horses. Sometimes all at once. It's only in these stiff collar hyper emotional beta men today who longs for some machismo society you could not survive one day in. Other than that, do you think that the jotnes were completely blind when meeting a cross dressing Thor with full bears and a thunderous masculine voice? Or is Thor a god who shape shift into whatever form, sex, gender and creature he goddamn wants to?

Varg Vikernes.. The racist church arson from Bergen... Halleluja... Inshallah!

When I was a kid, I always asked my grand parents, or my great aunt whether our ancestors were viking kings. "Harald Hairfaire" was always the answer 🙂 Being born just a few miles away from Eirik Bloodaxe's old king's seat in Bergen, it might be possible.

Who said that dads were the best marriage counselors? How about the mothers?

To be fair, Romme did not "fal" in 476 as one would like to believe. Rome was still standing. Most institutions still working. It was merely a change of management The real fall of Rome didn't occur until the 6th century with all the destructive wars and invasions and Justinian's phyrric restoration of the Western Roman empire.

@Kay-jg6tf I'd pay to see a man to man, hand to hand combat between Harald Hardråde and Temudjin (Ghenghis Khan). The latter killed one of his brothers as young for not sharing the spoils from a hunt. Harald Hardråde broke out of prison in Constantinople during a riot against a deeply unpopular emperor, found his way to the palace as a former Varangian guard and cut off an emperor's balls. Berserker vs. Mongol. From what the same channel has indicated is that the first known chieftain in Norway came from Avaldsnes on the west coast, married to a woman with mongolian genes. What some call "the golden age of the viiking age" also led to the downfall of the vikings, and forced convesion to Christianity by Olav "Holy" Halraldson I always hated that part of my history, even as a kid,. Showing me the lies that the Christian church was built on.

Point exactly. Question is not whether lgbtq people existed during the "Viking Age".. Question is how different cultures dealt with it. Some were more accepting than others, while some went full bonkers. while monks and nuns fucked eac other silly in the tunnels dug between the Lady of Immaculate Conception and the Order of the Holy 'Penis,

@dadams71 Well, I would chop the head off Olaf Trygvasson myself.

@countk1 Rumours did fly even back in those days :-)

Back in the Viking Ages, personal insults was a very serious business. I guess their alleged machismo hung by the thread of whether you let yourself be insulted, and be viewed as a cuck, or someone who were so thin skinned that he'd draw a sword, or an axe just for looking at someone funny. Why do you think that my ancestor Eirik Blood Axe got his name from? He got his feefees hurt so easily. And needed to drench his feigning machismo in someone else's blood - and to hide the fact that he was fucking the stable boy in his spare time.

Wonder how many of us who are descendants of Harald Hairfaire today?
