A Viking Raid!
Some people continue to think of the Vikings as cute, devil may care cut-ups suitable for comic strips and the mascots of football teams. The reality was quite different. For most civilized Europeans they were homicidal maniacs sent be Satan.
Just check out this astoundingly good reconstruction of a a Viking attack, ca. AD 796. Not for the squeamish.

Um...
ignoring the post above,
I'll just say it's interesting that the Vikings became integrated into European society at some point. Could you explain that a little?
I'll handle this one. My understanding is that most historians point to Leif Ericksson's ribbon cutting ceremony for the first IKEA as the official start European integration.

PS Don't let their well made cars fool you, some Scandinavians are still clinging to their barbaric pasts as evidenced by the traditional Lutefisk Christmas meal
