So Ubisoft are basically going to go into this historically incorrect then and make up their own version of vikings lol.

Maybe they will have the monks raping the viking women instead. 

Be sure to read the 2nd paragraph I edited in above.

The AC series has never been designed to be historically accurate in terms of the storyline. I mean the pirates were the good guys in AC4, lol. They go to painstaking lengths to achieve historical accuracy in some ways, for instance creating the worlds based on historical maps and dressing the characters in period accurate clothing and armor, but in terms of story AC has always played it fast and loose with historical accuracy. Afterall, they have to work in a plot about 2 fictional orders, the Assassin Brotherhood and The Order of the Ancients/Templars, working against each other across thousands of years of history. A plot where all world religions are based on the worship of either members of the First Civilization (the first sentient race to inhabit earth before humans) or humans who used First Civilization artifacts to perform seemingly miraculous feats. 

You make good points to be honest. To be fair I know it sounds like I slating the game I'm actually not I'm just find it intriguing how they're able to change things around and I'm can't wait for it. I'm a massive and fan of the viking age and I'm often called a Pagan by my friends. My whole upper body (beside face) is covered in norse style tattoos ie Knotwork, runes, the Ægishjálmr and old style drawings of sleipnir, jormungandr.
