Is it fully fictional or is it historical recreations
based off of actual events and people
but very liberal with story telling
Well ragnar probably didn't exist but the others did
so like that weird as fuck 3d beowulf movie they did but real history?
@Dimorac you there?
ragnar was a real guy
what the hell is U?
it made me want to buy total war brittania
A lot of key events that happen are based in reality yeah
yeah but if you'd ever been forced to read some shitty translation of beowulf in school and seen the movie you'd get what I mean
but the game is utter shite
Lothbrok means hairy trousers it was a joke
With uncanny valley angeline jolie
vikings is a combination of real/legends/myths but uses the same characters iirc
I watched it with my parents
I've been balls deep in viking era history over the holidays, the show is closer than what you'd expect
yeah it was rough, I told my wife all day I was jazzed to see a movie version of beowulf and then we walked into that
yeah its pretty accurate to the sagas
It's sort of around that time 'England' as a single kingdom comes into being
1300s wasnt it?
ah so it takes place pretty late
The vikings being pretty integral to making that happen
@everyone she took the fucking kids
800-1000 @THCVee
Get funked on nerd.
1300 is a bit late because you've got Hastings in 1066
northumbria mercia wessex sussex essex kent (i might have missed some) are the kingdoms before england iirc
cheers dude @AstroTorch
yeah the viking era was pretty much over by 1300
jesus why do you say such painful things
793–1066
to torture you
oh yeah of course, magna carta was like 12-- something
sinner
1225 i think
or 1219
