The Russians....don’t forget the Russians..
Since the Normans were descended from the Norse, I would not say that France ever really controlled them.

uuuuuummmm didn't Germany also occupy Norway in WWII??
Plus the Muslim invaders of today can pretty much rape the native women with little consequence, which is pretty much what previous conquering armies use to do
Skål, bro!
Didn’t you say something about a computer game with this plot? Or was it a graphic novel?
The Battle of Stamford Bridge? Poltava? The Second Schleswig War? I’m sure there are many other Scandinavian defeats.
They did lose an occasional battle, although certainly not very many. I immediately thought of the Battle of Brunanburgh, after reading your title. When I talk a course in Anglo-Saxon poetry, way back when, I memorized the opening:
Her æþelstan cyning, eorla dryhten,
beorna beahgifa, and his broþor eac,
Eadmund æþeling, ealdorlangne tir
geslogon æt sæcce sweorda ecgum
ymbe Brunanburh. Bordweal clufan,
heowan heaþolinde hamora lafan. . . .
If only we had a Berserker ping!
Interesting.
If the Taliban have an oral history, and an ethnic memory, the people they would fear came out of the East. On small horses. And they were called Mongols.
Germany defeated Denmark rather easily in WWII,.............. I guess they are use to it, Bismark took Schleswig - Holstein from them in the 1860’s. Jutland was mostly Denmark. In WW II the Germans felt they had better occupy Denmark rather than let the English, the same thought applied to Norway. Out gunned, and out maneuvered with no chance of winning the Danish King gave in rather than sacrifice the lives of his small army.
Muslims have already defeated you. You just aren’t paying attention.
Poltava.
Before, Sweden was one of the Great Powers.
Afterwards, not so much.
Brian Boru drove the Vikings out of Ireland at the Battle of Contarf, 1014.
Muslim Rape Epidemic Puts Sweden at Top of Euro Rape Statistics

There is a reason why NO OTHER European nation during TWO centuries has wished wished to encounter Sweden in a battle - and furthermore, we all know what happened to the Soviet forces challenging Finland 70 years ago..
No one is invincible. But we come close.
