You have not proved this about the English, you keep talking rubbish.

Your invasions were in defence of nothing, they were straight forward pillage, rape and murder which turned into an attempt to conquer and enslave other peoples.

In all honesty so were a great many of the British.

So were most invasions carried out by many nationalities. I'm personally an isolationist and non-interventionist.

This guy seems to be talking **** though, aside from claiming the Viking invasions were self-defence, he seems to think the Normans invaded Ireland in the 12th century to protect themselves from the Irish who wanted to force their religion on them. Despite the fact they had the same one.

Good job the Irish didn't invade. All our women would have been slaughtered and all our cattle raped.

Me too.

"laiming the Viking invasions were self-defence, ..."

I heard on UTube so must be true that the name Viking
came from Roman numerals VI - 6 Kings.

Vikings I think means people of the Vik, which were river inlets from the sea.

Err, wern't the Normans the descendents OF the vikings who had settled in France?

BonnieDundee

Some of them were. Nor means north in old French I believe. I don't know how many of the Normans were actually descended from Vikings, I know the Dukes were, it was probably only a small minority.

Geography

There seems to be a commonly accepted belief by many historians that the Viking race may, to some extent, have come out of the lost tribe of Benjamin, and that the Celtic race may have come out of the lost tribe of Dan. These two races obviously didn't just appear on Earth one day. They had to have come from some original source and many bits of evidence exist that show they had a Mid-East beginning. One piece of evidence that I forgot to mention earlier, are the bagpipes, which have an earlier history in the Pakistan/Afganistan area, than in Scotland. Sets of pipes are still produced there and shipped to Scotland for finishing and stamping of "Made in Scotland". Not all pipes are made in the Mid-East, and some feel those pipes are inferior to the full-blooded Scottish pipes. Regardless, the link to the Mid-East is real.

It appears the two Israelite tribes of Dan and Benjamin fanned out a little to the east, but mostly to the west, some heading almost due north to the Norway area (Tribe of Ben) and others moving into the Alps and then to Spain (tribe of Dan), before leaving for Ireland. In Scotland the two tribes would combine when the Irish Celts, known as Scotti, merged with the Vikings to form the Gaelic race as it is thought of today. This race, in its early days was called the GallGael, the Gall denoting Viking and the Gael of course, denoting Celt.

Yup the VIKings are from that wee country.
