    i don’t think vikings were actually blonde though? that’s just a dumb pop culture thing

    like, most people in the nordics have brown hair, that isn’t going to have changed in 1000 years

      Well yes and no. They liked the extraordinary, everything new or beautiful. And they took it with them. That included jewelry, cats, ideas, religion and people. In their genes have been found traces of southeurope and even asia. So there have been blonde or redhead vikings. But only a few.
