Were The Vikings Actually Violent Luke

Introduction

I think the vikings weren’t violent… Read it if you want to know why!

Reasons

My first reason is that they lived in Scandinavia where food was hard to get, so they had to leave their country to raid Christian monasteries in Britain for gold, food and other supplies essential for surviving.

In addition to hunger, the vikings were clever and invented the days of the week using their Norse gods,developed their own language,the old Norse language and invented words we still use today like die,ugly,skull and even cake! (when I found this out, I  was surprised)

As well as all the other reasons listed, the vikings always had a reason to ‘attack’ such as a raid but where we get the idea of killing monks is from  self defence. Also, Britain was across one sea so it was easy to sail too from Scandinavia.

Last but not least is the Berserkers they were a tribe of vikings who were always violent but they always had a reason for it .

  1. Lots of positive comments from your class mates Luke.
    You have certainly made the Vikings sound like acceptable people but is it enough to persuade others that they were not violent I wonder?
