I guess geography of large rivers is not a strong point for this person…
There was extensive trade between Scandinavia and the Mediterranean, and some of the vikings are believed to have been Muslims from the Middle East and North Africa (“viking” meant armed seafarer, and was a profession and not an ethnicity). Meanwhile, Norse and Icelandic mercenaries worked as the Byzantine empire’s Varangian Guards (they were favoured for their courage, and equally importantly, lack of connection to domestic political intrigues).
The documentary The 13th Warrior confirms Muslims were definitely part of the Vikings.
They didn’t watch the show Vikings. I thought it was quite popular.
I think the sword in the middle belonged to a guy named HORSESHIT.
Of course the Vikings were famously land locked and never explored the fine art of smithing…
