Don't use the same pictures, some have pointy helmets which is another misconception

9 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 0

A lot of the pictures are completely norsemen-unrelated. A couple look like Scottish outfits.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

On further investigation, it appears that you are right. I see a kilt or too and some very Scottish looking socks

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Use the same pictures but with the points crossed out.

Not only that, one of the pictures has a morion and a burgonet. Neither of these helmets existed at the same time as the vikings.

Those are good points (unlike the ones on the helmets)
