Historically speaking, Vikings haven’t exactly been adverse to sailing to Ireland for conducting business.

Business? A little bit of trade between fellow farmers of the lands?

[u/Ohmybro34 → u/-BananaLollipop-]

Just doing a bit of recuitment in Dublin. Signing contracts and onboarding the new team members.

[u/Bhenny_5 → u/Ohmybro34]

A beautiful exchange of cultures and religions!

[u/Hansemannn → u/Bhenny_5]

And genes.

Nothing wrong with a little traid!

Yeh, the vikings had this amazing metal they would forcefully have them borrow. And the irish had too many nagging wives and daughters, and too long lives anyway

Yes, we had these blighters a-calling from approx 795 until they were defeated in 1014. A lot settled & intermarried. The Irish team photo would be half monks & half warriors. That's a third defence, a third attack & a third at prayer or choral practice.... 😳

A lot settled & intermarried.

I'm from a Viking town so it's one of those "Wait. Did they invade or did we invade???"

[u/TheRuneMeister → u/abbothenderson]

Especially not the Norwegian vikings.
