The Most Famous Viking Battle In History

historical-nonfiction:

Can you guess it?

Some of my favorite (incorrect) answers:

aethersea answered: the one where sweden walked across the sea to denmark? that’s more a fun anecdote than anything, but it was cool

brutoll reblogged this and added: Is it Rollo/Ralf sacking Paris, France in one day?(unlike the recount on the TV show, Vikings, the attack was lead by Rollo and they were completely successful)

detective-inspector-sidonius answered: Lindisfarne. Or perhaps Stamford Bridge. Lindisfarne wasn’t a battle so much as a beat-down of defenseless monks, but it did mark the beginning of Viking expansion and raids into non-Scandanavian territories

istorophile-extraordinaire answered: The Great Ikea Wars, Battle of the Food Court. Swedish huskarls managed to secure the meatballs but couldn’t get the sauce before being repelled by the store employees

its-a-geek-haven answered: Battle of Hastings,14 October 1066 Really important for England, but not famous in the Norse chronicles as a defining moment of bravery and epicness

ranklax answered: Swold/Oresund? The one where Norway stopped existing as a kingdom

Congrats! Ranklax wins bragging rights!
