They Abandon Their Weak Children

Vikings had a similarity with the Spartan of Greece. Vikings appreciated strength and wellness when we were talking about their children. If their child were born weak and unhealthy and could not fight or contribute anything in their community, they would be branded a burden or useless being. That was the time, and they would abandon their children in the woods or throw them into the ocean because, without them, they could save a lot of resources and time focusing on their job. In the Viking era, life was hard. They could not even take care of their child. There were only 80% of children who would live as Vikings at the age of five. At that age, they would be expected to work, fight, and contribute to society like an adult.

The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy Was Inspired By Viking Culture 

Vikings mythology inspired the author of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy named J.R.R. Tolkien. In the Norse legend, there was a ring that would curse the person who would wear it. Also, the place where the movie Lord of the ring was named Midgard means “Middle-Earth.” However, Lord of the Rings trilogy was not always based on the Norse legends, but the Norsemen thousands of years ago inspired some of it.
