Found something way more interesting tho:
Harald Hardrada
Harald Sigurdsson went to war in 1030 when he was fifteen to support his half-brother, the King of Norway. Harald’s side lost, so he escaped to Kiev and spent the next fifteen years there and in Constantinople, where he became the leader of the Byzantine emperor’s Varangian Guard. Returning to Norway in 1046, he took the throne and became known as “Hardrada,” or “hard ruler”, both for his harsh rule and constant warring. Then the King of England died, and, believing he had a claim to the throne, Harald led a force of 300 ships to Northern England against another claimant, the man who would become known as William the Conqueror. Harald’s forces captured York, but at the Battle of Stamford Bridge, he took an arrow to the throat and died.
Panos is an imposter cuz actually Hardrada is the leader of his clan! 8-)

Haardrada even has a higher helium-voice to command them properly. :twisted:
-
I don't think I've had the pleasure yet to hear Hardrada's manly voice. I trust in your objective judgement tho. :twisted:

"he took an arrow to the throat and died"
gotta admire his dedication to roleplay though :mrgreen:
-
I just realised... our Hardrada is French of all things! Oh, the irony! :lol:

First European king to go crusading, totaly badass , never lost a battle.

I certainly don't agree with the size of the fonts. The only bigger thing is your mom.

The guys who accomplished the most was Eirik Blodøks and Harald Hårmy old friendre, they should be further down I think.

That didn't really change anything in-lands. The methods for christening Norway was rather brutal, takes a long time to remove the morals and norm coming from the old norse mythology and lifestyle. Sadly they didn't get to rape more British nuns.

Y'all motherfuckas need Heimskringla.

Needs more Styrbjörn.

Anyone noticed how all those badass vikings were from Norway?
Next time a Swede or a Dane calls himself a viking, remember this and laugh.

Seems to me like Norwegians are the only ones with a knack for bragging, jerking & waving their penises around, it hasn't changed for a thousand years. On the other hand Swedes & Danes let their deeds speak for 'em. Just today I watched a documentary about Danelaw. Controlling 3 out of 4 English regions (Northumbria, Mercia & East Anglia while only Wessex remained intact) in the 9th century took a lot of badass Vikings, just ask Aella, king of Northumbrians. :wink:

I just learned about this from Neil Oliver: http://www.pasthorizonspr.com/index.php/archives/02/2014/early-christians-in-viking-ribe

"“The Birth Certificate of Denmark” is a slightly inaccurate translation of "Danmarks dåbsattest", literally it means "Denmark's baptizing certificate", marking the official transition to christianity, not the birth of the nation. BTW, according to Saxo's "Gesta Danorum", Harald's son Sven reverted to heathenry for a while and was cheered for this by the people. So the stone seems to be a rock-solid piece of evidence that Christianity was imposed on the people by the king. For insights in methods used by kings these days to spread the gospel, see http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Heimskringla/King_Olaf_Trygvason's_Saga/Part_II"
