Sadly the vikings got there in the end, via the the vikings from Normandy who had reinvented themselves as the Normans. Society under Anglo Saxon rule would have been fairer for the average person.

Old euro history is a funny thing. People ruling literally just patches of land you can walk in a day getting titled with names like "Great"
