Viking heritage of the Rurik dynasty

The Rurik dynasty's Viking heritage, alluded to here, is a topic of substantial controversy amongst Russian historians. I am not qualified to speak out on the subject but a professional historian of Russia should craft a more nuanced and informed statement on the subject.

Viking Age in Estonia

Viking Age in Estonia is an official historical period. How should it be included in this article? A separate subheadline? Blomsterhagens (talk) 09:43, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No. If you have good useable sources why not incorporate it in the article? Sorry for being late, but I guess this is still a relevant issue? RhinoMind (talk) 18:57, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Added Legacy section

Hi, and I probably did lots of newbie mistakes, like the font sizes of the subsections (Settlements and English Language). The text in the "Scandinavia" section is also very short ... I was considering including "Genetics" in the Legacy section, but I'm not sure if that is correct.

PS: I also removed Dorestad from the list of Baltic trading stations.

PPS: I also streamlined the wording in the leidang passage (under "Technology").

T 85.166.161.28 (talk) 09:38, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the section "Legacy" is tagged as empty; from my POV that is mainly a typographical issue, as the following sections (History of Scandinavia, Colonies, English loanwords from Norse) were originally conceived as sub-headings - i.e. content - of the "Legacy" section, whereas now they appear as independent sections. T 84.208.86.134 (talk) 01:26, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, alternatively, in order to avoid duplication, the content of the Legacy section could consist of a "See also" type link list, including e.g Viking Art and similar articles. Idk if there is a Viking Portal, or something similar, where one can find all Viking (legacy) related articles. T 84.208.86.134 (talk) 19:52, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Viking Rule

"Harold Harefoot became king of England after Cnut's death, and Viking rule of England ceased." Since Harefoot was Cnut's son, how is it that Viking rule of England ceased? Manannan67 (talk) 03:56, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Historical backgorund and context

What's the difference between the historical background and historical context sections? If they are redundant I suggest to merge them into a single section. Forich (talk) 17:25, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'd say that the "Context" section covers what would otherwise be called "image" or "reception", i.e. the status of Vikings in historiography. The "Background" section is a very meagre and school essay-like sketch of some geographical and cultural traits of Scandinavia. It should be expanded, worked into the "reasons for" section or simply eliminated. The third Historic section, "Overview", looks like a "Timeline".
