The Assassin's Creed games' core gameplay loop is killing people, matched with a story to justify countless murders. This franchise might not be too big on morals.

Depicting one side as heroes and the other as villains isn't really going against history. During that time pretty much everyone was an asshole. There were no good guys in the first place. Especially not the English.

“Especially” not the English? Not denying that everybody was an asshole. It was the dark ages. But at its core the English were defending their lands from a group of people literally looking for trouble.

So? Assholes defending themselves doesn't make them any less of an asshole.

Glorifying Vikings isn't any different than glorifying assassins. I mean at one point the franchise even glorified their own villains, the Templars. So if anything framing the story around the Vikings is par for the course. It won't hurt their historical accuracy any more than usual.
