..features this song, Sail by Awolnation. Not a very good song. However, the music in the opening sequence is much better it's If I Had a Heart by Fever Ray Let's make it one then. I suspect that there will be plenty of speculation presented as fact in this new series because it's not exactly clear why the vikings did what they did. Sure, they needed resources. Yes, they had a violent culture and maybe just got bored. But why exactly all the raping and pillaging? The History Channel already made a doc about the Vikings. The old one is a scholarly documentary though, not a scripted historical fiction.

Well isn't that just kinda what armies did in those days? Wasn't that half the reason that people joined armies of any nation and went off on wars of conquest? To get plunder and slaves? And I guess rape's just sort of a byproduct of all that.

Sort of. But most armies had clearer goals and were less brutal, at least according to popular history. The stories of their chaotic, terrifying raids may result more from the fact that there were only a few literate people (Christian people, of course) in the villages that were plundered, and they may have exaggerated a bit when they wrote down what happened.
