Why were monasteries good places to raid to the vikings?
The monks weren't used to fighting, and the monasteries often had valuables like silver and gold.
Why did the vikings attack Lindisfarne in 793?
because it was there. :) and because it was a repository of a significant amount of easily-transportable wealth, and not very well defended because attacking a house of God was unthinkable to the people who built it.
What made the Vikings successful?
The Vikings used many types of attack, and most of these were terrifying and unexpected. The 'Berserkers' were known as the most terrible and fearsome of them all; they were a group of Vikings who got themselves in a rage before the attack, then fought til the death. Not only were they tough, they were also skilled fighters. The Vikings were very good at crafting weapons as well. They could make beautiful shields, and strong swords and axes. Apart from this, they were extremely good at surprising people as well. They often travelled to their destination in the evening or night, and were as quiet as possible until the fight began.
Why are finnish vikings so awesome?
Finland, like most countries of pre-medieval times, consisted of various tribes, only one of which were the Finns. During the Viking era, there was no such thing as Finland the country. Thus, the tribes of Scandanavia in general roamed freely between the different provinces by land and by sea. Thus, the Swedish Vikings and the Finnish Vikings were often descended from the same tribe. Finland had Vikings and they were just as awesome as any other place like Sweden and Norway. There is no such thing as Finnish Vikings (if you are referring to the Viking warriors). The Vikings who did go to Finland were Swedish Vikings. Perhaps some Finlanders would "like" to claim some Viking relation, and they knew of Vikings...but the Finnish were NOT Vikings, more often they were the subject of Viking raiders.
