Which makes that all the more impressive. I took that line directly from John Haywood's "Northmen" book. It's not a dig at the Vikings, it's just saying despite the fact that this wasn't exactly the wealthiest or most sophisticated culture of the period, they still traveled distances that are almost super human.

@@RealCrusadesHistory Other than technologies of voyaging, Vikings also produced some of the best handicrafts and housing technologies of the era. Free peoples are usually technologically superior, for they rely on those technologies to get by when centralized bureaucracies can simply mobilize subjugated populations for state projects. If you can enslave people, you have no incentive to develop technologies. If you have to do everything yourself, then you become an inventor. Back in the Roman world, the Celts had fewer slaves and superior metallurgy than the Romans.

Bishop Joscelin is an awesome hero in this story. I think the Viking experience in the 9th and 10th centuries really helped militarize the Church and laid the groundwork for the Crusades. People forget how violent life was in Latin Christendom during those two tumultuous centuries, and the Vikings were the biggest cause of that in France. Often, local authorities were impotent and churchmen had to get involved in the fight. This definitely helped shape the Crusades era, I would say.
