Did you know the Viking were afraid of the Picts that lived in Scotland 
1_Wizard
I did not know that. But I do know the Picts lived in eastern and northern Scotland, so I imagine they would run into each other.

Yes, I'm from Northern Scotland. The vikings seemed to be tough enough to defeat everyone else but the Scots. I think the vikings made it all the way to Africa and even North America.

Yeah the vikings were pretty tough and great at sailing the seas. At one point other countries viewed them as nothing more than brutal raiders

When in fact they were farmers looking for a new place to farm.

Historians disagree on what they think drove them to seek expansion. One idea is they were rebelling against other Europeans who invaded them previously

Either way they failed. Not many vikings around any more.

True, not even their language really stuck around. Not many people who speak old norse anymore
