I think the Romans also attempted this with the British, from what I've read.

And neither Romans nor Vikings are around anymore. Coincidence? I think not!

Well, I mean, the modern English are sort of descended from Vikings (Anglo-Saxons). Scots and Irish are still mostly Celtic though (I think) and those places are way cooler, so not sure this argument holds

Not an expert but from the name, I would imagine they descend from the Angles (Engles?) and the Saxes not from the Vikings.

[-] pooh@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

Yeah, for some reason I was thinking Angles and Saxons were considered Vikings but I was totally wrong on that. You are correct.

Northeast England and the east coast of Scotland have a fair amount of viking ancestry about from all the raiding, so it's not completely baseless.

Descended from is not the same as being. An Italian American is not an Italian is not a Roman even if you can trace descent.
