A Viking settlement- The Vikings settled in Dublin around the year 841AD. The 'Normans', at this point in time, were actually still Vikings - The Normans were Vikings who settled in Normandy in France, hence the name. They came to England and became the 'Anglo-Normans' and then came to Ireland in 1169AD, arriving at Baginbun in South-East Ireland.
The Normans were descendants of the Viking conquerors and the native Merovingian's. They emerged starting in the 10th century and over the next centuries gradually evolved.
No, Montezuma was not a Viking sailor. He was a ruler of the Aztec Empire in the early 16th century, specifically Montezuma II, who reigned from 1502 to 1520. The Vikings, on the other hand, were seafaring Norse people from Scandinavia who explored and settled parts of Europe and North America from the late 8th to the early 11th century, long before Montezuma's time. Thus, there is no historical connection between Montezuma and Viking sailors.
Viking men were typically around 5'7" to 5'9" tall and weighed between 160-180 pounds on average. Viking women were generally shorter and lighter, weighing between 120-140 pounds. These are approximate estimates based on historical evidence and skeletal remains.

Before settling in Normandy, the Normans originally spoke Old Norse, a North Germanic language. This was due to their Viking heritage and origins in Scandinavia before their migration to northern France.
