Allow me to set the record straight
>Forced to piracy due to not having developed agriculture and extreme malnourishment in the northern wastelands
>Lived in wooden shacks while the rest of Europe had mastered stonemasonry ect
>No art or culture to speak of. Primitive metallurgy and poor craftsmanship beyond glorified canoes
>Poor combat skills contrary to myth, could only raid civilian villages and retreat before reinforcements arrived
>Lost most battles on land where they lacked ''the element of the surprise''
>Notorious rapists and pedophiles
>Basically albino mongols hellbent on destroying civilization
>No accomplishments beyond plundering and raping unarmed coastal settlements
