Purple dye was one of the rarest and most expensive things in the middle-ages. That's why it was considered the "color of nobility".
Why are Americans so retarded?
Ryan Sullivan
Name some purple berries in Scandinavia.
Adam Collins

Sorry you're too stupid to do a simple web search and we had to spoonfeed this basic information to you. I'm going to fuck your mother so she can have a better son.

Not purple.

There is archaeological evidence that Vikings made voyages to and around North Africa and the Middle East, it wouldn't be surprising if they picked up a few black folks, particularly Moors, to fill their ranks.
Eli Long
You mash them, especially blackberries, and they make purple dye.
Probably not to the shade in OP's image, or to the extent that it dyeing one's hair with it would be effective or viable, but it not entirely as impossible as one might think.

Yeah but it would be dark blue or black, not purple. Real purple dye was made from Mediterranean sea snails and took thousands of hours of work to extract.
Thomas Wilson
They don't. Purple dye is literally one of the rarest colors in the world, and was not readily available to just anyone. That's why no flags have purple in them, because it was too expensive to mass produce like that.
Jose Anderson
How do you know he's American, bitch?
Matthew Rogers
On a related note, it's possible that during voyages to the Middle East, Spain, or Byzantium, it's possible that they either acquired purple dye through trading or pillaging.
As I said, it probably wasn't viable or practical, but the possibility still exists.
Maybe, but it still supports the main point. In that case it's not implausible that maybe a few black slaves were able to prove themselves, either by combat or converting to pagan dogma. Who knows what kind of things happened in that time that were either never recorded, or any record of their existence is lost or destroyed.
Evan Thomas
They did. They called them "blue men" because their dark skin resembled frostbite

What's with the tan splotches on the girls arms and leg?
Did they seriously give this bitch vitiligo?

A black raider in the north would be a notable sight and would have been written about: in myths or not. As it stands, there has been no blacks in the North back then.
Jonathan Stewart
A Swede probably

I don't think I see a single sharp edge in that image. They're all rounded. Why are they all so blobby? The blonde one's nipples are the size of his pendant. I don't understand how people that draw can think this is appealing to anyone. This is the same tier of shit that 14 year old girls draw on those Amino forums.
