The Viking Empire
Starting in 793 AD, the Viking Empire of the Scandinavian Peninsula started to pillage and plunder surrounding countries such as England, the Frankish Empire, Spain, and Russia. Their tactics were brutal; they’d raid unprotected villages, killing, raping, and stealing all goods before local defense units could stop them. As time went on, they became increasingly good at this and grew more brazen in their attempts to raid surrounding areas. It only lasted so long, however, and better defenses against their tactics made surprise raids more difficult. By 1066 AD, the Viking Empire lost steam when Norwegian King Harald Hardrada was defeated by the English at the Battle of Stamford Bridge.
I'm not sure where or how, izismile gets his facts... well, not facts really, leftist propaganda more like it. As in, Confederates raping "millions" of African-American women and, too, the items you mention as well as many others. Columbus a 'conquistador'... seriously.
Post entertainment, entertaining pictures, etc., not skewed takes on history in support of a Howard Zinn view of the world.
