Well yes and no. They liked the extraordinary, everything new or beautiful. And they took it with them. That included jewelry, cats, ideas, religion and people. In their genes have been found traces of southeurope and even asia.
So there have been blonde or redhead vikings. But only a few.
Also: ginger cats were first bred in Egypt for sacrifice because they were gold like the sun.
When the Vikings got there they were so excited that the cats matched their hair they kept them on their ships.
To this day everywhere there was a significant Viking population there is a large population of ginger cats.
Still one brain cell, though
i don’t think vikings were actually blonde though? that’s just a dumb pop culture thing
like, most people in the nordics have brown hair, that isn’t going to have changed in 1000 years
