Hi Zeptepi & welcome,

Quote
The Vikings or the Norse traders, as I like to call them, had been coming to the British Isles long before the 700 to 900 period.  That period is only highlighted by single reference given by the Venerable Bede, a literate Christian monk living in the North of England at the time.  **** & Pillage?  No, not quite.  Most of the Norse traders had permanent settlements in Scotland and England and were not too ready to give up their own historic beliefs for something that came out of Rome.

Great information, but do you have a source for this?  It's the first time I have run across it, and I've always found early Viking history to be a bit more sketchy than that of other cultures. I would like to learn more about that. 

Also, if you have any more information on the origins on the Picts, that would be appreciated as well. 

All the best,

Europa
