My ancestors were Vikings!  I am half Swedish.

Wow you're so lucky, I find the Vikings to be extremely interesting. I really like how they used their advanced sailing and navigational skills to aid in their conquests.

Yes and actually all the way to my father... He still loves sailing and sent me to sail classes at 12.

Wow I guess the sailing gene runs deep in the Viking blood. They were actually such skilled navigators they established communities as far as the north-eastern coast of North America and the North Atlantic islands.

I just wish the Vikings didn't kill so many people.  They were very smart but also very rough.

That's true, they did have quite the history of pillaging and raiding villages. An almost 300 year history, even, from the late 8th to late 11th centuries.
