Thank Adamantius for your kindness! Speaking about Norway and Spain, 
first time I was in Norway for many years ago I was atonished for how 
many darkhaired people they had (as contrast to Sweden, where the 
ethnotype is most blond and blueeyed). They explained to me at the 
Vikings (who was most Danes and Norses, the Swedes were traders and 
headed to the East, to Russia and Greece and Byzantium) took a lot of 
prisoners from Spain and they mixed with the original Norse population. 
Thats because today its frequent to spot darkhaired Norses with mixed 
ancestries.
