Viking Quiz



I found a very interesting Viking Quiz online today at the Anglo-Saxon Archaeology blog. You have to answer 10 sometimes very difficult questions on all things Viking. You can then review your answers to see where you went wrong!! Each time you play the quiz you'll some different questions, so try and remember some of the details.
So fellow Viking lovers, your challenge, without cheating is to beat my score of 80%, I have to admit that was my third go, and I thought I was quite well read, I don't think so......

    Decorative patterns on their teeth? I have some reading to do when I start doing some Vikings. One attempt only three hits

    Thought I knew a few things about Vikings as I'm a fan of them.....I was proved wrong and it took me 4 tries before I passed.
    Still good fun and educational.

    All right that test is damned hard. The bloody art history questions keep killing me. That and asking questions about specific towns in England or Scandinavia, I missed some of those too. The straight history, fine, no problem. Mythology, excellent, no worries. The other stuff keeps me just below a passing grade, every single bloody time.

    3/10 by Odinn's beard! And with my current vik obsession, I think I'm quite knowledgable!

    Its enough to make me want to smash something with my Axe

    Wow, I was lousy. My best was 4/10 (which I got twice out of three tries). The only thing I did well on were mythology questions and a couple of history questions. For the rest I was clueless.

    I propose that if you pass this the first time you are focusing on the wrong aspects for wargaming!

    5/10 on first attempt... Should I be embarrassed that I don't know the name of the founder of the settlement on the Faroe Islands? Thanks for the link!

    I got 4/10, but it said good try, and if clicked I might be admitted to the University of Oxford. But then I didn't click, but came back here.

    5/10. Not too unhappy with that, considering I was racking my brain for place names, and French kings have never been my strong point!
