Talk:Askrigg

Viking or Norse
User:Beyond My Ken prefers the term Vikings, but, to me, that has the connotation of seafaring invaders. The farmers who came to Askrigg are more usually referred to as Norse settlers in historical documents. What does anyone else think?  D b f i r s   10:06, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
 * In situations like this I'd refer to what the sources say (if anyone has access - they're published sources).  Я ehevkor ✉  11:34, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, that sounds fair, but which documents do we follow? Also see Norsemen.  The people who came to this part of Yorkshire were farmers, not seafarers.    D b f i r s   19:00, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
 * The two sources attached to the statement are Askrigg and Askrigg if anyone is able to verify them.  Я ehevkor ✉  19:07, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I think those two sources just confirm that the name "Askrigg" is of Old Norse origin. That fact is undisputed.  My question was whether the settlers are better described as Norse rather than Viking.    D b f i r s   07:23, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
