Which of the following are not true of the vikings?
a. they brought their pagan beliefs to europe, repopularizing polytheism.
b. they settled in the british isles and russia.
c. they had a rich poetic tradition that they spread throughout europe.
d. by the 12th century, they had ceased their raids and begun to blend with european peoples.

The statement which is not true about the Vikings is b) They settled in the British Isles and Russia. This is false, because the Vikings did not settle in the British Isles and in Russia, they raided these two areas many times. The Vikings weren't settlers, but raiders and people who traded the goods they found. The Vikings were Germanic Norse seafarers who raided and traded from the 8th to the 11th Century.
