The Roman Empire had mercenaries from all over Europe, not just the Norsemen. The Vikings also only terrorised poor villages and remote monasteries, they shit themselves when encountering the Franks.

>>5916607
I'm talking about the Varangians of the Byzantine Empire; not just some run-of-the-mill, jack-off mercenaries.

Do you really expect their small raiding parties to throw themselves at a larger, more organized force like the Franks?

And don't think you can address just two points (inadequately at that) and be done:

>were central to east European trade
>became powerful, wealthy rulers of the Russian city-states
>were the fucking best at building boats

But that's what the Vangarian guard was.

so much for great civilisation, then.

>were central to east European trade
Not an accomplishment.

>became powerful, wealthy rulers of the Russian city-states
So? The Russians were undeveloped and tribal.

>were the fucking best at building boats
Then why are modern ships based on the superior triremes?
