It's notable how Rollo (a Viking) is depicted in a manner similar to "Saracens." Anyone know how common this was?pic.twitter.com/XMqxRaRqv4
I think @caitlinrgreen would be someone to ask about the Viking-Saracen connection.
Yes, thanks! I just revisited the posts by @caitlinrgreen about this topic.
Thanks! I find the medieval connection fascinating, not least given the frequent modern failure of imagination on this point... Plus, >
> of course, the fact that there is textual & arch evidence which points to some Vikings actually converting... :)
Do you have anything more about that?
Yes! Looking at the original thread, it got broken, so reposting it now & hopefully will thread properly this time! :)
