As a Viking kid, or child, you woke up and helped prepare a breakfast, such as porridge made using the grains that you grounded, goat's milk, and honey. With your porridge you most likely had a slice of dried corn bread and slated horse meat. You might have had a small drink of water or goat's milk. After breakfast you would scamper out to help your mother with the chores, such as mending the clothes, tending to the harvest and crops, making linens, and preparing lunch. Lunch was either dried pork, lamb or game, boiled in an iron pot with the carrots that you peeled, the peas, the wild onions that you unwrapped, the nettle, the herbs and the dandelion leaves that you and your siblings picked. You would once again have dried corn bread, but this time with chicken's eggs. As another side dish, you would share with the family the berries, nuts and acorns that you picked that morning during your chores, and as a drink there would be some apple tea. (Apple tea is apple slices and leaves soaked in hot or boiling water). You would most likely get your tea sweetened with honey, the honey that is in the bowl that you made yourself. After lunch you would once again tend to the animals of the house and den, the chickens, goats, etc. You would perhaps get some time to yourself, to talk to your friend or to play with your siblings, and then it would be time for dinner. Father would have come back from hunting, and so there would be sun-dried fish marinated in milk and boiled gruels, there would be cheese and dried apples, and also a choice of beer or mead. After dinner you would do the washing up, then wash yourself, and go to bed. You would then wake up the next day, to repeat the cycle. That is what Vikings did as kids.

How many viking children die?

The exact number of Viking children who died is difficult to determine due to a lack of comprehensive historical records. However, it is estimated that child mortality rates during the Viking Age were quite high, with many children not surviving past infancy or early childhood due to factors such as disease, malnutrition, and harsh living conditions. Studies suggest that as much as 30-50% of children may have died before reaching adulthood.


Why didn't Europeans learn the shipbuilding and navigation methods of the Vikings?

Actual, they did learn the shipbuilding techniques of the Vikings, and some of the mediveal ships, such as the medieval Scottish birlinn, were directly descended from the Viking ships. Also, the ships in the Bayeaux Tapestry are very similar to Viking ship design. It is just that the Viking Ships were replaced by designs that were better suited for carrying cargo than the Viking ships. The Viking ships, for all their beauty and speed, were not designed for sailing long distances carrying a lot of cargo. Their open decks would have made would have made traveling in them rather uncomfortable, and the Viking success is as much due to the hardiness of the Vikings themselves as the design of their ships. In addition, the design of Viking ships limited the maxiumum size they could be built to. Later shp designs, such as the cog, which in part were derived from Viking designs, could carry more cargo, and so were more economical to sail, which is why they replaced the Viking ship designs. In addition, the later designs could be modified and made much bigger than the Viking ships. Navigation aids, such as the magnetic compass, would have been easier to learn and use than Viking navigation techniques.
