In my case it's Norse-Gaelic :')

Side note, Irish ancestors 🇮🇪 can refer to three overlapping groups that lived in Ireland and have descendants today: ◼️The native Gaelic peoples who lived on the island long before the Vikings came, forming the foundation of Gaelic Ireland, with kingdoms like Uí Néill and Érainn. ◼️The Norwegian Vikings who started raiding and later settled along the Irish coast from the late 8th century onward. They established themselves in towns such as Dublin, Waterford, Limerick, Wexford, and Cork, creating settlements and trade routes. ◼️As time passed and as you pointed out, intermarriage and cultural exchange led to the emergence of Norse-Gaels: communities that combined Norse and Gaelic heritage and traditions. In a very short summary: If the Irish are researching their ancestry ☘️, they may find mainly connections to: Gaelic Irish dynasties and families that existed before the Viking period. Norse settlers who arrived in or established themselves in Irish towns. Mixed Norse-Gaelic lineages that developed over centuries of interaction and marriage.

I'm glad you're enjoying this as much as we are! This episode is one of the important ones. There are things here that payoff on season 2. Including one scene which made me tear up because of what I know happens. This show is best for the people who really pay attention to the details, like you!

Just a slight clarification, in that opening battle scene in episode 1, Thors addresses the tall blond guy as Thorkell (who is based on another real life historical figure), but Thors does briefly mention Floki in his conversation with Thorkell.
