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.
