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

@Deleted User yo

@Tewdrig i thought i dreamed that movir

With uncanny valley angeline jolie

vikings is a combination of real/legends/myths but uses the same characters iirc

@tequila I assure you it exists or we shared that fever dream

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

Awful

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

somewhere around then

Essex and Sussex weren't really a thing, east anglia would have covered both I think

yeah something round then @Pip

Dummonia too, but I argue Devon was just indistinct west wessex & Cornwall existed in its own right

true true

I might be a tad biased though

dimorac you want some fucking horror, that's my mother in law's haircut

gonna be a big screenshot
