Is Norsemen American?
No. The Norsemen (Meaning North Men) were from Scandinavia. They were also known as the Vikings. The area at the time was not divided into many countries as it is today. It is believed by some that the Norsemen actually discovered the Americas before the Europeans, although the same theory suggests that they did not settle there, but only made sporadic forrays to capture slaves for sale in their homelands. This is not an improbable theory, as the Norsemen were extremely capable sailors and navigators. As nice a theory as it might be, however, there is no material evidence to support it, and all accounts are purely supposition. Ferrocious in battle, bearing heavy armour and wielding mighty weapons, the Norsemen would have been a terrible enemy to any AmerIndian tribe who might have encountered them.
