Not a whole lot. They didn't seem to like coming here, if those maps on wiki are to be believed.
They brought their hate for an*Loids, this is why they're our lads
Hello christian monk this is viking
Not much, Vikings were defeated every time they found any opposition. Muslims curbstomped them every time they met an organised army, Christian peasants led by a bishop even defeated them with pitchforks in Catoira.
They came here as mercenaries and plenty of them settled here. There are some weir-ass place-names left after them. For example the village of Besiekiery near Poznań, apparently taking its name from Berserkers.
They helped us against the Byzantines and their puppet, so they were based and redpilled.
they became mercenaries.
vikings could only win battles against unarmed monks, women and children. had no chance against organized armies
vikings are glorified criminals
This. They raided and fucked off before any relief could arrive. Their lifestyle was doomed once sedentary states developed countermeasures like fortified bridges.
They settled here and bred with our women
nothing, they feared the hun warrior so they never tried raiding us
That is just as ignorant as making them out to be some sort of Übermenschen. Danes were very famous for their military organization/discipline because they had standing professional troops as opposed to the peasant levies that have been used in England etc.
That's why they were desired as mercenaries in the first place.
christianity among other things
they brought celtic people here so now we are celtic
Based
They created my country

>le epic strong Vikings masters of battle and fighting in the name of odin
Vikings were literally a bunch of middling pirates who only picked on defenceless monks and got their shit kicked in by the English.
Fuck Anglos and fuck Vikings.
Damn they fucked you guys just :(
That's complete bullshit though, not the raiding part of course but the untrained and unorganized part. Of course they got btfo by armies too, because a viking raid isn't an army of 3000 men, it's more likely to be around 100-200 tops if even that.
We even have surviving instructions and requirements that any viking would have to meet to be allowed to accompany a raid, standards like being able to run a certain distance under a certain time, being able to wield axe/spear in left hand as well as right and being able to fight while standing on the oars of ship to make it possible to surround a crew while boarding. We also know they employed tactics like shield walls where they routinely let enemies through to be chopped down by long axes standing behind. The nordic autism isn't just a meme.
Same, but about 500 years later
>replying to the t*rk/k*rd LARPing as Greek
>This filthy Viking damage control
i heard that vikings stole all the qts from the british isles
thats's why you look like you do
>t. english monk
Note that the English only did that after they adopted Danish military tactics (such as a standing huscarl force or the long "dane" axe) and other military reforms (fyrd) and even after Alfred you had a Norse King who was very well loved (Cnut the Great)
Swords and ships. We killed them and sent them back home.
Vikings and Magyar actually fought (and raped) together in many battles in Western Europe
>lEt me tell you about your history
No.
Rurik dynasty, Ulfberht swords, finnish knives.
basically this
you can't compare iberia with France or England, we were in a perpetual state of war with muslims so people were used to fight, vikings were still an annoyance, though
>vikings were so shit at fighting they took over england and vassalized the rest of the main island and ruled it for multiple generations until the throne passed to a english guy who was related
>afterwards it gets taken over by viking/french bastards who became a thing because the french thought it was easier to just give the vikings land if they protected them from other vikings and stopped raiding them
>in fact everyone had such an easy time beating up vikings that they constantly had to pay protection money when they showed up
vikings settled in france and loved it so much they forgot their gods, language and culture.
A nice tale about them getting their asses whooped, thanks for popping by Freygeir and Egili.
Same if you consider their sw*dish offspring
I hate sw*des more than anything, including germs and ruskies
They are mindless animals, not humans
Abbasids gave them coins and rings iirc
Nothing. Those wankers were simply not man enough to sail down here, let alone handle Big Black Booty.
This.
uh, brought my ancestors here for a shagging and here the modern swedes are
Dont forget how shit they were in the Roman empire, the fucking losers only became the emperors elite bodyguard. absolute garbage.
Colonialists did it well.
You had 1000 years to prepare, you lazy fugg.
They make pretty good music

>What did the Vikings bring to your country?
There was no country, just a bunch of tribes. They actually founded it.
