But the question is surely worth pondering, and it has the advantage of making us take a new look at our medieval sources.
Ow did the Vikings want to be perceived-by other members of their own culture, and by posterity? It is not an altogether easy question to answer, for unlike many of the peoples they traumatized they were still pagan in the early stages of their story and therefore to all intents and purposes illiterate-in the Europe of the early Middle Ages writing was an accomplishment that came with Christianity.
