They for sure had Africans in Scandinavian countries in small number. The vikings had trade with North Africa. To say there were no black vikings?
Now I doubt there are no city leaders.

As a history nerd I take much bigger issue with Lief Erikkson being a part of the Viking council of 1002, yet when then invasion of 1003 supposedly takes place. Edmund is now king which is in 1016. Anyway Lief and the Greenlanders didn't go to Norway or Britan.
Now I doubt there are no city leaders.

Everything you said.
There were black Vikings. It’s funny people getting so upset about that and ignoring the historical issues with Lief. People see what they want to see

That’s a pretty horrible source, littered with unsupported speculation and conclusions.
Just one example:
quote:
Black Vikings did indeed exist during the Viking Age. During that time, it was not rare for European countries from the southern regions like Spain to mingle with dark-skinned Africans. As such, it might have been possible that these Africans willingly traveled their way up north to the Scandinavian countries.

Doesn’t look like it.

North Africa wasn't black at that time...there was a huge desert there preventing human trafficking. And the small small small chance they got a Nubian slave, he was a slave...not a Viking and definitely not the leader of a city

Way to miss the point.
