They Intermarried
Having invaded many countries during their three-hundred years in power, it makes sense the Vikings would mingle with a rather diverse crowd. They also established settlements. National Geographic has stated that some five-hundred years before Columbus had set sail to America, a Native American woman went to Europe along with the Vikings. This discovery was made by inspecting their DNA. Scientists have found that more than 80 living Icelanders have a genetic sequence that is also found in Native Americans. They are still working to identify if this was caused due to blending and intermarriages. It is confirmed that Norsemen intermarried with Celtic women in Ireland.

Not All Together
Vikings were somewhat similar to biker gangs. They traveled together, taking whatever they wished. In addition, they had no colony or country they belonged to, which meant they didn’t even recognize fellow Vikings. During their time, there were many countries that contained a wide variety of Vikings spread out through them. During the times they weren’t battling on foreign shores, they were picking fights with their neighbors. The Vikings were a rather aggressive bunch, and they only expanded to find newer and better resources. When they weren’t busy battling, they were settling in new grounds.
