The first ever Viking raid in Ireland took place in 795 AD. At this stage, the Vikings were coming and going. They were farmers and would sow their crop in spring, then take off for a summers' raiding abroad, and return in time for the harvest with ships full of treasure.Later they settled in Ireland and started fighting actual battles with indigenous kings. They started building fortifications in Dublin in 841 AD.Dublin and Waterford are Viking settlements.Regards, Colm

How can you get a real viking suit?

TIMETRAVEL OR Icelandic museums. I went to 'Þjóðminjasafn Íslands' (check wikipedia?),(on a school trip) and we wore these viking costumes. If you plan to rob the place, you can also take the real viking swords.. Thoug watch out, b'caus Icelanders are technically 'still' vikings (never really denounced it) and there ARE swords there.
