That's not to say that I think the Vikings were disreputable: they
weren't. If someone were to say 'Viking' to me, I'd think 'sea and river
faring explorers, traders and settlers' just before thinking 'artists
and story tellers'.

But that's probably not what most people think, as you've already
admitted that you think the Vikings were bad :-)
I agree.  I always thought of and read about Vikings in the same light you
shined on this thread.  Pirates on the other hand, have almost always been
the foils of heros.
