Btw, since King Richard Lionheart was a decendant of Vikings wouldn't that make him a barbarian?

scandinavian,How did u come to a conclusion that Vikings are definitely barbarians? did u live in their age?.did u witness so called torture committed by them in person?
For example,All accounts regarding Adolf Hitler in our present-day are American originated because Americans occupied Germany obtained all information about his roots before the withdrawing.as a result of this,He has always been exhibited by these resources in question to be a bad figure so that All people hate him.
( by the way ,dont think that I advocate Adolf Hitler.I gave him as example )
to cut a long story short ,making decision concerning anybody or any nation is not so easy.Our present historiography is under the control of countless biased judgements..
