The Vikings were fearsome seafaring warriors with big
boats, big shields and enormous ginger beards. This much
you probably know. But do you know why the vicious vikings
had names like Fat thighs, Oaf and Stinking? Or how to
build a vicious Viking longboat and which vicious Viking
god dressed up as a woman? From cruel kings and vengeful
Viking warriors to the mean and miserable slaves, it is a
story of beastly battles, truly terrible torture
techniques and messy murders. Eeek!
