Vikings are a part of everyday life.
They are a focus of academic controversy, with scholars waging an ongoing war over the proper interpretations of the Viking past, and they lend themselves readily to use in.
They appear at museums, Viking festivals, and in comic strips, films, novels, and children\'s History books.
They are a marketing device, a tourist attraction, and a subject on the national curriculum.
For a people who lived around a thousand years ago, their omnipresence is remarkable.
