i am a viking.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Vikings (Old English: \"wicing\"\u2014\"pirate\", Danish and ; Swedish and ; , from Old Norse) were Norse seafarers, mainly speaking the Old Norse language, who raided and traded from their Northern European homelands across wide areas of northern, central, eastern and western Europe, during the late 8th to late 11th centuries. The term is also commonly extended in modern English and other vernaculars to the inhabitants of Viking home communities during what has become known as the Viking Age. This period of Nordic military, mercantile and demographic expansion constitutes an important element in the early medieval history of Scandinavia, Estonia, the British Isles, France, Kievan Rus' and Sicily. Facilitated by advanced sailing and navigational skills, and characterised by the longship, Viking activities at times also extended into the Mediterranean littoral, North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. Following extended phases of (primarily sea- or river-borne) exploration, expansion and settlement, Viking (Norse) communities and polities were established in diverse areas of north-western Europe, European Russia, the North Atlantic islands and as far as the north-eastern coast of North America.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Some of my ancestors were Vikings, were Norse seafarers, mainly speaking the Old Norse language"}, {"role": "user", "content": "What time period are the vikings from."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The late 11th century, It is also known as the Viking Age"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Are any traditions from that time still practiced today?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well they are famous for their long ships  they used them to cross the mediterranean."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That must have taken a really long time to go that far in those kinds of ships."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "If I recall, xploration, expansion and settlement, Viking (Norse) communities and polities were established in diverse areas of north-western Europe"}, {"role": "user", "content": "The life of a viking must have been a grueling one."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Agreed they have a huge place in early medieval history"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I don't know if I would ever have been able to do it myself."}]
