Your score shows us that you're not as knowledgeable about the world of Vikings as Thor and Odin would have liked.

While your results aren't entirely flawless, they show that you've got quite a decent understanding of the way the world of the Vikings worked. In fact, it's highly unlikely that anyone's going to catch you out on your knowledge of the Norse gods, Viking ships or heroes any time soon. Be careful though, if you spend much more time studying these powerful men's ancient ways, you might start unwittingly adopting one or two of their habits, which may not be entirely pleasant for your friends and family members.
