From here, it actually looks like a Roman sword.
Garett
It would be interesting holding a weapon that very well may have ended multiple lives
ZombieSideTackle
I wonder if it’s an Ulfberht.

Great Odin’s raven!!
echosierra775
I mean, havent you played ac Valhalla? Those fukkers were climbing all OVER the mountains.
AdrianDunne
That's very little rust for 1100 years old, and it looks like very active rust.

The Regalia of Eochaid!
amildpsychosis
You should probably give it back.
BlueskydragonFX
You better check for Draugr nearby.

Qwest?

Now give it to mymechanics

Clean it up, and off to invade/loot somewhere!
ImSynnical
Keep with the theme and invade places of worship
JamesInTasmania
They still have a lot of valuables!
thatwoodguy
I would have bundled it up and mailed it home for myself.
UmamiMama
I hope you are up on your tetanus shots! Cool sword!
willpostanything
is that an Ulfberht sword??
ZeOberon
No; even in that condition, the writing would be visible. So not a fake either. Still a beautiful blade though. Would love to get my hands on it and CUT IT IN HALF. To find out exactly how it was made
dontfloatmygoat
Poop knife?
mday8
Still very straight. Cool.

Listen. mountain hikers discovering old swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical artisanal smithery.

There can only be one!

On guard!

Someone was probably looking for that when they got home
Garett
Someone probably didn’t get home
NebulousToucan
Or that

I thought the definition of Viking was someone who goes raiding and pillaging overseas, not someone who climbs a mountain in their homeland and buries a sword.
Yupurineutah
Maybe someone went raiding and pillaging on a mountain that was not their homeland, and got buried like Ötzi but the ice melted.
ZeOberon
It wasn't buried; these guys walk along the edges of melting glaciers and find amazing stuff people lost in the snow.
mcodger
The ancient Norse went 'a-viking'. For them the term Viking was a verb, never a noun.
Allisrevealed
They were happy fucking people up on ski trips, too.
ElectricSlideOrchestra
I was confused what the sword had to do with their winter sports fetish but you meant pillage. I need to get some sleep.
BobAllen2004
I think you are the new rightful King of England. I don't make the rules.
soulthreat
Thats just step one, step two is beating the current king in single combat, you may be able to beat charles
thesavagery
Let's be honest - you're probably going to do no worse than the current setup. Fuck it, back to swords from rock.
Wrathma
Well I didn't vote for 'im!
weerdo
The sword was found in Norway.. the correct response would be calling all vikings together and conquer the world.
WhereDidTheLastHourGo
They'll send a message using Norse code.
Mack1986
They found it in Norway
RulesOfImgur
They have a history of hating England, you can sieze the throne and make a claim as the rightful king/queen/ruler of England.
Banana369
Not all of England. Northumberland is looking a bit apprehensive at the moment though.
NotNotDeadpool
I don't think the British are picky at this point.
HamburgerWelper
The Danish vikings ruled both England and Norway around 1000 years ago. Thank you Vinland Saga for this knowledge.
ForRohan
No, no, no. You don't become King of England simply because you found an old sword. A watery tart must throw the sword at you for it to be legally binding.

Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

I've met the masses and have witnessed their judgement. I'll take the word of the water-logged woman and her pond knife.

Help! Help! I'm being repressed!

My head canon is that this is because Arthur remembered the rulership came from a different sword.
