>>16834450why skyrim doe
>>16834459This is disingenuous, since a large portion of their trade was slaves and spoils sold to muslims, a trade that died out as the vikings adopted Christianity (Can't take Christian slaves as a Christian). Raiding becoming less viable as European states centralized and developed actual military power to the point where they were a genuine threat to the viking homelands and were able to defend themselves against raids was probably a larger factor than "comfiness".Also since a lot of vikings settled down in territories like the British Isles and France conversion was necessary to engage with local politics.>>16834450It's funny because women had significantly more rights under pagan rule than under Christian rule in Scandinavia. The adoption of Christianity pretty immediately set women's right back a lot. Not because norse pagans were feminists, they were just pretty staunch believers in the "man's domain"/"women's domain" paradigm and the importance of lineage.
>>16834528While the first Jews to reject polytheism were extremely innovative, by the time of Christianity, most Christians were basically using the framework of the Neoplatonists, even as far as the Holy Trinity being derived from the Neoplatonist Triad.
>>16834450The french converted them.
>>16834450The man became an effeminate looking faggot and the wife became a tit showing whore
>>16834450Christian kingdoms started appearing one after one in the continent after Rome fell and these stopped trading with non-christians, therefore raiding intensified and after some time Scandinavian kings adopted Christianity and enforced it to the population with laws just like every other kingdom had done.There was pretty much no willingly organic conversion from Folk Religion to Christianity.
>>16835881As already pointed out, viking trade was reliant on the religious difference. It was what gave them a virtual monopoly on the slave trade in the north of Europe.
