vikings
appearance: c. 793
ascendancy: swedes
this is a little messy. it's generally acknowledged that vikings were mostly danes and norwegians. however, if the idea that they were aristocratic jarls is to be upheld then the sagas descend both danish and norwegian aristocrats from a swedish ruling class. for now, i place this here for convenience - i will eventually distribute the constituent pieces in more precise locations
descendancy: seine [dane] vikings
descendency: loire [westfold] vikings
