Why did Normans and vikings come to Britain in 100ad?
The Normans and Vikings came to England in 1066 because Edward, the king had died, leaving no children and naming noheir's. He pointed at Harold Godwinson as he died, but he may have meant many things. the viking ruler Harald Hadraada had saved life once and claimed that Edward promised him the throne in return. William I of the Normans was Edwards half brother, but wasn't English. William, Harold G. and Harald H. all wanted to be king. They all fought, and England was in turmoil.
What fish did the vikings eat?
Yes !... Fish was a common food for the Vikings. The stocks were plentiful - and managed successfully to provide a constant supply.
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.
