Sadly the vikings got there in the end, via the the vikings from Normandy who had reinvented themselves as the Normans. Society under Anglo Saxon rule would have been fairer for the average person.

​@@jimbusmaximus4624well...once you over stand that "white" ppl just cameout the caves and couldn't read write or speak until 1000 ad...it will make more sense! Europe has always been populated and run by blacks! Get any book by Lee Cummings...I suggest reading the 13 black colonies or the negro question first🥱

Old euro history is a funny thing. People ruling literally just patches of land you can walk in a day getting titled with names like "Great"
