during the opening scene of the bone temple, my friend leaned over to me and gestured at the Jimmy who gets stabbed in the leg and went "that man is PHENOTYPICALLY NORTHUMBRIAN, when the norsemen landed on lindisfarne, that face was staring back at them covered in woad"

England has no indigenous population. Its thousands of years of raids, marauders, tribes, vikings, norsemen, french, german (current).
These ideas of nationalism are very date specific but no one can decide on the dates for perfection.

The US has an Space Force base on Greenland from which it can operate in the defense of the US and it's ally, Greenland. There is no practical, prudent, or strategic reason to "own" Greenland,. And the us has NO claim to Greenland - the Norsemen inhabited Greenland some 500 years eve before Columbus

The exploration of North America by Norsemen (= Danes) began in the late 10th century. Voyages from Iceland reached Greenland and founded colonies along its western coast, for almost 500 years. population peaked at around 2,000–3,000 people, mostly in farms along the coast. #THEMORONROEDOCTRINE

in another story on Norse-Greenlandic interactions, we hear that the two peoples met in the area around Nuuk and got on peaceably at first, until the Greenlander Navaranak, who spoke both languages and was a maid in a Norse household, tricked the Norse into attacking. more (grim) in the alt text

Small me lost interest halfway through🤷
Then we never really revisited the era which made it ripe for racists to project whatever the fuck they wanted onto it
My favourite detail was that the Norsemen washed and wore jewellery, and so local women were happy to marry them

In fairness, as Stephen says it's also true that "vikings" is a term widely applied to a range of Scandinavian peoples over a long period, some of them very different.
Also, the term Norman probably comes from Norsemen, because they were the descendents of vikings raiders.

Ah, yes “Vikings” - we have dismissed that theory. That’s a good one.

"Norsemen" is almost exactly the same as "nor semen" I feel like someone should make a joke out of that

Greenland is a unique case in which the European invaders, Norsemen, arrived earlier, in the 10th century, than the currently Indigenous Inuit, in the 13th. But they inhabited different part of the island, and the Norse colony was wiped out by the 1540s. The Inuit, on the other hand, are still there
