  1. 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.

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

  4.  @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.
