Seems like beheadings were the norm back then as wasn't it Charlemagne who beheaded 4500 Saxons in 782 A.D. who had refused to convert to christianity.

Was not it highly unusual for the Viking to surrender at any cost?

IMHO, inferring surrender is some sort of English romanticism.

Viking heads were useful in those days. The heads were hanged at the gates of towns, churches, markets.

The Vikings (all medieval norse, that is) were famous for bathing. They even named a day of the week for it.

Which in Swedish would be lördag (after 'löddra' - an old word for 'washing'. Lördag = washing day. Apart from that, it also means Saturday).

Trudy, now I know how my dentist knew of such horrific methods to alter the appearance of my teeth. Plenty of years of practice, it seems!

Wow! What a find. Don't feel sorry for any of them; they dedicated there lives to invading other peoples territory along with stealing and
brutality killing along the way. They got what they deserve.


To give credit, they were very good seamen and they probably made it to the Americas long before Christopher Columbus.

Morphous01, I don't guess you'd feel sorry for anyone's ancestors as that's pretty much what every people on the face of the earth has done at one time or another.

It's a shame when any people are slaughtered.
