Mr Red Folklore: Celts didn't invade Brittain-shockhorror (50) RE: Folklore: Celts didn't invade Brittain-shockhorror 07 Dec 17

Iceland:
Vikings went round the top of Scotland. Orkney, Shetland and Isle of Man were fair game. Indeed the Manx Parliament is the Tynwald - old and sounding very Scandi.
Ireland must have been on their radar. I would bet that more men than women would have braved the sea and pillaged. The raping might have been consensual in some cases. Her man is dead, and their is this hunk looking at her - negotiate or be negotiated. Mitochondrial DNA explained.

Logically you would expect some if not most of the Viking migration to be in stages. If only to recuperate and build/repair resources. Waves of migration may have been in generations, and occasionally in fractions of a generation. Viking long boats held maybe 70 bodies, and some of those bodies may have been less than human. How many boats in a flotilla, and how many made it to Iceland?
