SCANDINAVIA: DUCK HEAVEN

ALSO, CHECK OUT NORMANDY, AN HONORARY
SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRY, SINCE IT WAS FOUNDED AS A DUCHY BY ROLLO, A VIKING CHIETAIN, WHO
WAS GRANTED THE COASTAL PROVINCIAL TERRITORY BY CHARLES THE SIMPLE, KING OF FRANCE, TO
KEEP THE AMBITIOUS, HARD-TO-HANDLE VIKING FROM GOBBLING UP THE REST OF THE KING'S DOMAINS. IT DID THE TRICK, BECAUSE LATER ROLLO'S DESCENDANT, DUKE WILLIAM, WENT AND GOBBLED UP ENGLAND INSTEAD OF FRANCE. BY THIS TIME, HOWEVER, FRENCH CULTURE HAD CHANGED THE VIKINGS (NORMANS), SO MUCH THAT THEY SPOKE WITH FRENCH ACCENTS, AND LOOKED MORE LIKE POODLES THAN DUCKS.
