“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.

To be fair, at this point in history the English hadn't really done that bad had they? They were still finding themselves and rebuilding from when the Romans had left (I realise I could be completely wrong) but wasn't it till a couple of hundred years after viking Briton that they started going on the warpath around the world to establish an empire??
