I am back with my usual: You are all decendance of the vikings !
I would like to point out that it will most likely be Irish people who decend from Norwegian Vikings as this was their main recidens on the British Isles (and the Isle of Man). The Vikings in England was mainly frome Denmark, of course there must have been a great deal of Norwegians as well, but mainly danish.
Normaly it is devided like this:
Norwegian: Iceland, Greenland and Vinland
Danish: England and France
Swedish: Russia (east europe) and Byzantium
(very generalised)
With that said I will move on to the real reason I am posting
I just find it odd to make a big deal out of Normans as they are direct decendance of the Vikings. There is not a lot of generations between those vikings who was given Normandy and the Normans who invated England. They settled in 911 under the leadership of Hrolf Ganger and in 1066 they invaded England under the leadership of Willam II. Of course they have been mixed with the french, but come on.
