Viking raids

[Skorpion49]

Any interest in a story about what the Vikings may have done on the coast of Britain around 900 AD? "Rape and pillage" are always associated but "rapine" (=abduction) was more correct. BDSM format, non-consensual to start but the abducted beauty finds her secret lusts awoken by the attentions of the tall and powerful foreigner. Who is only really saving her from a fate worse than death with his lesser brethren...

I was encouraged anonymously after my first and only story as there was little historical / barbaric stuff around.

Any interest in this?

The Norseman

Damn! Just seen Clarabella has written a series about "The Norseman". Well at least it must have been a good idea (although I note from the comments she managed to offend a few that "knew" what horrible things went on back then and how sick etc etc).

Anyway I shall read Clarabella and am so pleased a woman had the same idea!

 

[Tuomas]

Stories written by people who actually know what a viking was are always a good read. Unfortunately, most of it gets stereotyped.

Ranting aside, Scropion, have you written anything? And thanks for mentioning Clarabella, although unfortunately she isn't around anymore

 

[Skorpion49]

I've not written any Viking stuff yet but have started thinking about it as a place to go...

Who knows what really happened all those years ago anyway? I try and do a bit of research and throw in some possible facts (like how Roman slaves had tags saying what they were good at, and cooks were highly prized, and there were slave markets, and how slaves could become friends and lovers with their Masters like in my last - or should I say first - stories) but otherwise it's just pure horny fantasy. So if I'm going to write it down I just wanted to know if anyone would be interested in reading it. Or I may just write it and get it out of my system and hang the response...

I saw Clarabella was active a few years ago. No longer with us sounds ominous...I hope she just left the site! Chapter 6 of The Norseman was a pearl and shows how practice can make perfect...

I thought she dealt well with the language thing too. Somehow I think my Roman Slave story would have been even less interesting if they all spoke ancient Latin!

 

[Monazwx]

I had an interest in writing a story like this a few years ago, but I couldn't remember where I had placed the disk that I started it on. I'm going to take a look at Carabella's stuff, as it should prove entertaining.

 

[Skorpion49]

Would like to hear what you thought of Clarabella's story and how it compared to yours...did you find it? Am sure you remember some. I too see the hostage being taken across the North Sea - maybe bound naked to the mast...

 

[Skorpion49]

Time to bump myself up a bit!
Anyone seen the "King Arthur" film from 2004? Some erotic possibilities there surely? Although the film got mixed reviews (probably arrived too close to the first Caribbean Pirate romp - not easy being a Saxon villain when everyone is calling you Bootstrap Bill) it had, and I quote - "a half-naked post-feminist warrior hottie" previously known as "Miss Swann". Lots of leather and fiery passion there. And even some dungeons and wayward priests...

Unfortunately for me "Guinevere" is a true Brit (as the Romans called them) and of little use as a Saxon victim of later Viking raids... Still, it was a nice cossie, Keira!

It would be cool if a story could be written that intermixes history and sex. For instance it is pretty much well known fact that Lief Erickson made it to Maine and documented the journey well before the fake and flamboyant Christopher Columbus took the credit.

Imagine a story line where they come ashore and the vikings find the Acadian's (Native American's) to their liking. It could be either a "non-consent type story, or a romance one really. I know my ex-wife read book after romance book on the passionate savagery of native american's and settlers. I think this could be done well by the right author.

 

[Skorpion49]

Thanks Deadwood for the encouragement and idea I aim for any story to appeal to both sexes. Who knows how starved the Vikings would be after that long voyage. Reluctance or non-consent are much more acceptable (and erotic) than rape. Feelings might develop - most women would be attracted to a tall and powerful stranger. Instinctively they want to bear the strongest children, perhaps there is even an instinct telling us to mix up the gene pool. The Viking warlord would be as horny as a buck in springtime after months at sea..."If I was a trapper, I would give a thousand pelts, to sleep with Pocahontas, and find out how she felt!"

There you all go again...clearly the dirty, uncultured, bedraggled white guys would give "the strongest children" and it would be a matter of whether these lost brigands would "find the Native Americans to their liking." (By the way, 'Acadians' refers to the French settlers of what is now Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, not the original inhabitants - the Penobscot and Mi'maq).

Luckily the Beothuk didn't find the Vikings to their liking; at least it delayed the Euros a few hundred years.

Archeological evidence that I'm aware of indicates that the Beothuks came in, tried to steal some Viking kit, the Vikings killed the thieves in response, and that kicked off a series of retaliatory raids from the Skraelings.

I suppose if the Vikings had a more 'enlightened' concept of property ownership the Beothuks would have liked them more.

 

[MiriamL]

How bout this...The mother superior of one of the coastal convents goes to the king and offers her nuns as a sacrifice to the Viking invaders. A deal will be struck whereby the Norsemen partake of whatever sexual services they demand in exchange to spare to rest of the countryside.

Except it all ends rather badly for the Abbess...as it seems her sisters have enjoyed saving the kingdom a bit too much.

Her mission from God has secured the land, but lost is a more profound spiritual victory...and as penance, she throws herself from the convent tower into the crashing waves below!

The archaeology of L'Anse aux Meadows isn't that precise, but the suggestion that the Vikings had an idea of 'other people's private property' is not to be found in archaeology or history. Or are you in favour of pots and kettles?

 

[BrazenFellow]

Tio_Narratore: The vikings certainly had a concept of property ownership. Thieves don't like being stolen from.

As to L'Anse aux Meadows (have you been? I'd recommend it), all archaeology suggests there is that it was an orderly evacuation and very little was left behind. Historical records - and if I could remember their names properly I would quote them to you here - indicates that the Vikings killed a couple of Beothuk thieves and the Beothuks began raiding Viking encampments afterwards, sparking constant combat between the two. As the Beothuk don't have written records, we can only go with the Viking side of things. The Beothuks didn't have anything worth stealing (in Viking eyes) other than furs and food.

As to your pots and kettles statement, that's lost on me, I don't quite catch your reference there (if there is one).

Pots calling kettles black...one thief to another, friend. And, as always, we have to go with the Euro's side of things.
You know, when the Iroquois attacked the French it was called "The Lachine Massacre;" when the French retaliated by surprising two Iroquois families out fishing, killing all but one of the men, women, and children, it went down in history as "The Battle of Lake of Two Mountains."
But my issue with the story idea wasn't in the past; it was in a present that can still see the Europeans as "desirable superiors," and the other people as inferiors needing the approval, mostly sexual, mostly of women, of the Euros.

 

[BrazenFellow]

Ah, clearly I misinterpreted. I see the issue here now; I've always laughed at the concept of "engagements" like "The Battle of Lake of Two Mountains" but I have a kneejerk reaction to a lot of what I see in history courses these days, which presents a whitewashed "from the native perspective" view of history. A lot of actions were punitive, taken against native tribes who had decided it was a good idea to roll into a settlement, kill everybody, rape the women, torture the children, etc. Fun fact: History is ugly. Actually, "The Battle of Lake of Two Mountains" is a punitive action, but it's one of those propagandized piece of crap ones. The real messy ones you have to search long and hard to find reference to.

Not quite "punitive," since the families fishing had nothing todo with the attack on Lachine; more like "indiscriminate vengeance." Take a look at the "Battle" of Sand Creek (Colorado), if you want a real ugly one.

And I would propose that it is nomore appropriate or accurate to elevate the Native Americans to sainthood than it is to see the Euros as 'living gods;' it is far better to treat each group as real people, with real variation among themselves as well.

Love the Viking idea!

skorpian49
I think your idea to write an erotic story around the Vikings is excellent. There is far too little erotica written against a historical backdrop - and even less that manages a compelling storyline too. I think it would be great to see this story as erotic rather than romantic, as there are a number of steamy romances with this as its theme. In Ireland we have loads of round towers from this era. When the Vikings were spotted a bell was rung to warn the community - which was predominantly centered around the settlements of religious orders, to go into the round tower s (together with the valuables - although I suspect the valuables got priority) These towers were maybe 30 feet high, and very narrow, with no windows low down, and the door perhaps 12 feet off the ground. The Vikings would need a ladder / boost to get in, and the kindly monks poured scaulding water down on them to discourage them!

Dublin originated as a large Viking settlement in 1096 and was used as a trading base. The Irish name for Dublin is Baile Atha Cliath. Baile is Irish for town or village, but Atha Cliath is the name given the city by the Vikings and means (to the best of my recollection) the Hurdled Ford (or river crossing ). Of course, after the Vikings came the Normans and then of course our neighbours!!!!

To reassure anyone with the same reaction, the idea is more to get us back to a time where the Freudian "id" is free from the influence of the superego and the persuasion of the ego. Nihilism, perhaps, but where lusts can be developed for what they are unhampered by political correctness, morals, religion, or guilt.

 

[Skorpion49]

Howdy, neighbour! I have ancestors from all four regions (Britain, Ireland, Scandinavia and Normandy). Everyone knows Norman means Northman, right? Or was it Norseman? More viking migrants...Thanks for the encouragement!

 

[Skorpion49]

How bout this...The mother superior of one of the coastal convents goes to the king and offers her nuns as a sacrifice to the Viking invaders. A deal will be struck whereby the Norsemen partake of whatever sexual services they demand in exchange to spare to rest of the countryside.

Another one of your good ideas! What a fertile and sexy imagination you have!

The Normans came from Normandy which is in France. The connection with north is because of Vikings who had settled there, presumably because of the better weather and proximity to the Moulin Rouge and the Folies Bergères!

That Ideas is so very awesome.
Recently, I was having some role-cyber that touched on a historical queen-slave type thing.
I have been mulling the whole thing over in my head on how to turn that 30 min chat into a story.....

My latest though was that the male slave was actually a Viking/Nordic warrior/sailor who was captured during a battle. The Queen knows he is worth keeping for his naval-navigation and warrior skills. However, in order for him to be incorporated into the new kingdoms' ranks he must prove his loyalty to the queen who is also a former slave of Eastern Mediterranean decent. She makes him suffer and sexually tortures him by denying his natural Viking tenancies to fuck everything he can....including her!!

You are correct of course, though I was surprised a large amount of indians went with the Acadians down to New Orleans when we drove them out back then. Of course back then there was also a big question where "Mayne's" borders were too. I always assumed My Great Grandfather (ten times removed or so) drove them out somewhere in the area as the reward for his heroics in that war were rewarded by the King of England with vast land holdings within Maine. We only own a fraction of that today, but we are still here, and we are still farming it so I guess all is well.

The Acadian story is a pretty cool story in how everything worked out and how it shaped America today. (New Orleans and Maine).

The Vikings part 1

Hi all - I have a rough draught of chapter one. Anyone want to check it over before I submit? Here is a snippet:

The Vikings roared their appreciation as the frightened girl opened her lips to allow entry to the throbbing member. Ahhh...Leif had longed for the warm softness that was
woman for so long now...and this one proved adept in the art of sucking. She even teased the head of his cock with her tongue and looked up eagerly for approval.

He smiled and witdrew, he was keen to explore her other assets. He ripped away the remains of her skirt and the crew cheered as her cunt was revealed. Swollen lips and red
hair there too, he noted.

"Lower the pole to the ground, men."

The girl was forced to kneel with her face to the ground, she turned her head to be more comfortable and keep an eye on her defiler.

Leif was rewarded with the sight of a firm, heart-shaped arse upturned and ready for him. He slapped her inner thighs with the shaft of his knife, when she failed to move her
knees wider apart he nicked her inner thighs lightly with the blade, drawing blood. She quickly spread for him. "Bastard!", she cried, sobbing, but secretly longing to feel his hot cock inside her.
