What did the vikings believe when they die?

Answer 1

The Vikings believed in gods and they believed that they lived in a place called Asgard.

They believed each god was responsible for, or had the power over, a different thing such as battles, travel or love.

The most important were Odin, Thor and Freya.

Odin was the leader of the gods. He was worshipped because of his knowledge of fighting war.

Thor was a god of strength and might. He provided protection from danger.

Freya was the goddess of love and beauty and the goddess of war. She looked after the families at home and the men in battle.

The Vikings believed that when men died in battle they went to Valhalla, which means Hall of the slain and there they would sit and feast with the gods.

Later, after settling in England, the Vikings changed their religion to Christianity.

Answer 2

The Viking religion was unusual in that the entire universe would eventually be destroyed, and all that mattered was fighting bravely. They made their living in various ways, farming, trading, etc., but their looting and raping of North Europe are best imprinted on the modern social consciousness.
Earlier Vikings believed in the Old Norse Gods (collectively called the Aesir) they had a creation story in which a cow licks salty ice and thus carves out man. Later they converted to Chrisitanity but there is evidence that they continued to believe that before there was God the Aesir fought the Jotuns (ice-giants)

Answer 3

That they would go to the great hall of Odin called Valhalla.

Answer 4

The gods of the Norse pantheon.

Answer 5

That the world was flat
