This article examines some cases of apostasy recorded in different areas concerned by the viking and their meeting with Christianity. It first deals with individuals in the Carolingian world suspected of apostasy after having been subverted by the Normans. It then focuses on viking pagans converted to the Christian faith who returned to paganism or to their religious and pagan practices once established in the Frankish world, in the British Isles or back in their country. It finally reviews the case of Scandinavian kings, especially Håkon the Good, king of Norway. This study shows that cases of apostasy are relatively scarce ; the belated and unfounded nature of the sources alleging them, but also situations of ‘ in-between’ religious status and the reactions produced.
