Going a'viking was by sea .....
Not going deep into historic facts, so here in short from
Wikipeida:
Quote:Vikings were Norse, Icelandic and Danish warriors who raided the coasts of Scandinavia, the British Isles, and other parts of Europe from the late 8th century to the 11th century. This period of European history (generally dated to AD 793 - AD 1066) is often referred to as the Viking Age.
They came of course origianally by ship/sea - from where do you get that they arrived by land?
(In 820, the Vikings arrived for the first time, along the Seine, with 13 ships.
Later, they started to over-winter in camps on several islands in the Seine, Jeufosse being the most important.)
As a short reading before you post some nonsense again:
