You scored 17% leadership, 17% spirituality, 50% violence and 29% intelligence!
FOLLOWER - IMPIOUS - VIOLENT - EDUCATED
Your life is dedicated to raiding and fighting, and since you've survived this long, you've become quite a savvy fighter. Norse fleets and armies and raiding parties were often mostly comprised of a mix of freemen who wanted adventure, loyal trained soldiers under the rule of a certain jarl or king, and paid mercenaries. You are one of these mercenaries. Break out the mead and put on your helmet, you are the most famous of Norsemen. You are a Viking.

LEADER - IMPIOUS - VIOLENT - UNEDUCATED
Kingship was a fluctuating thing in Scandinavia, especially when the old king died and left behind several teenaged sons. The eldest son would usually take the throne, and his brothers would almost invariably go off and raise a war band or army to take the throne from him. That, or go to Europe and raid for awhile to build up their reputations as a great leader and fighter and come back to win the respect of his people. In the harsh northlands, a strong arm was the first choice to lead.

LEADER - IMPIOUS - PEACEFUL - EDUCATED
Besides fighters and explorers, the Norse were also very famous for being shrewd merchants. While no official curreny dominated trade in Northern Europe, trading in goods was something that Norse merchants excelled at, their trade routes reaching from Greenland in the west to Russia in the east, and everything from the Mediterranean up in between. They were savvy, capitalistic and respected, and generally had very good lives because of it.
Your score: Kanin the conqueror!
