When did people stop believing in the old gods like Greek and Norse? Did the Vikings just wake up one morning and think ”this is bullshit”?

In: Culture

Answer 1

I think I can answer this.

I have done some research into the normans, and it turns out that they originated as vikings who invaded northern France.

So they carved out the territory they needed and became an enclave. They freely adopted the the french language, customs and way of living, but still maintained their ferocious army.

The French king ended up giving them their own lands, in exchange for giving the Italians a pasting in the south.

So after a while they became as french as the french, and set about improving the french system of administration.

So the answer is that they readily adopted overseas cultures and “gods”.
