Vikings just hanging around
I found it amusing how the Vikings worked. They were obviously a pretty tough group, even in defeat it looks like they still stuck around. Pretty much its like letting the bully hang around as long as he's doing his own thing and not bothering you, why push the limit. It amazing how many territories they were able to occupy, once again even if it wasn't an area conquered by Vikings it was still inhabited by them and they still lived the way they wanted to, not the way the original inhabitants lived. Thats a pretty intimidating group to have that much power.

I found it entertaining as well. Do you think that they were allowed to inhabit areas and live the way they wanted for the most part because the reputation they had and people were afraid or was it more of a “well if we ignore it, might eventually go away?” How do you get rid of invaders completely though, especially if the “grass is greener” where they invaded.
