Would vikings call themselves vikings? Would people in the viking era say "there's a viking raid coming?" or would they just say "there's a raid coming"? 🤨

you truly have an eagle's eye when it comes to analyzing literature and I'm obsessed with it ♥️

I also feel like in that time period they would be referred to as Norsemen but I was only willing at most to skim the wikipedia page 🙃
Not the historical accuracy alarm going off mid-read 😂
