The Vikings

[Colonel Lee Fields]

The Vikings founded Ireland's first major cities, revolutionized international trade, and transformed seafaring technology. They played a critical role in shaping the economic and cultural landscape of the country, leaving a lasting impact on language, navigation, and urban development.
Thats just in Ireland like.

Correct.

Slavery and plunder was part of the age. The Romans were viewed as the great civilisation of their age. Their economy was underpinned by slavery.

True we should have learned from The Romans and The Vikings…We went about driving our economy all wrong…

So they stole all our hot women and left us with the average Irish women that we're all accustomed to? Yeah the Vikings are a great bunch of lads

Thankfully they missed a few. Una Healy, Anna Gearbag, Sharlene etc.

That wouldnt be in Norway or Denmark. Little to fuck all Irish genes in either place.
However Iceland is a different story. At one point most of the mothers of Iceland were Irish/gaels. That lessened over the years and the culture is overwhelmingly scandanavian but if you look you can see subtleties in Iceland culture that comes from Ireland. I would argue the sagas is one of them.

Wanted to visit Iceland this year but was too expensive so went for Rome and the terre cinque instead.

They mapped the genetic material of pretty much all icelanders

there was a big scandal becuase the govt harvested the DNA and told nobody

What they found was that 60% or so of Icelandic women who thought they were scandi were actually genetically Irish (and about a quarter of the men)
