They were the lowest of the low who preyed on the weakest of the week raping, torturing, and killing as they wanted.

The Vikings weren't quite as barbarous as is commonly portrayed.

I mean, if you want to get technical, Vikings were seafarers so those who stayed in Scandinavia were not Vikings. And the Vikings did do a lot of trading and exploration. But they also murdered priests and raped nuns.

They believed that dying in battle sent you to heaven. Now what other group believes that today?

That's how you had to do it. Maybe next week they're stronger than you and you are now the current week's weakest.
