Actually there were. The Vikings raped, pillaged and burned many places in their travels and brought back a lot of slaves from Asia, Europe, Middle East, Northern Africa, Russia. This movie however is about a remote part of Iceland where the brotherless king was exiled and is the leader of a small pack of “farmers.” It is barren and isolated. Christianity hasn’t been adopted so Valhalla reigns. In the beginning of the movie, they did bring back a handful of slaves from the land of Rus to work their farms and I am assuming they are Ukrainian.
Everyone is white but not blond and not tall and actually pretty dirty and unattractive except for some of the leads. Those that want to see an accurately portrayed story in which Hamlet was based upon - this is the movie.
