The actual truth as discovered from authentic archaeological findings throughout the Scandinavian regions over the past century is that the Vikings were on average 5ft. and 7ins.
There is a popular misconception that the Scandinavian Vikings were very tall people reaching well over 6ft. and far beyond. Actual Viking skeletons found at burial sites and known historic battlegrounds have revealed to be rarely 6ft. tall and even rarer still did they reach beyond that height.

∙ 11y agoThe ancient vikings, according to actual archaeological findings throughout Scandinavia, were concluded to be on average 5ft. 7in. tall. This is based off of actual skeletons uncovered from burial sites throughout those areas, over the past century. This was the AVERAGE and COMMON viking height in those times, although some of them, particularly the wealthy who could afford better diets and lifestyles, reached around 6ft in height. The modern belief that ALL vikings were originally at least 6ft and much taller therefore is a modern misconception.
