The knowledge of the Viking Era is limited. Many times Vikings burnt down settlements they sacked and didn't keep any records as this was before Christianity came to Scandinavia. What does exist are the runes.
For a long time, Viking helmets have often been connected with horns on the side. However, this is incorrect, Vikings never had horns on their helmets.
What is something that surprised you to learn about the Vikings?
