277 years later, in 1066, the Viking Age ended with the death of Harold Hardrada at the battle of Stamford Bridge.

This subject reminded me of a series of books by Bernard Cornwell, the Saxon Stories. I hadn’t thought of them in Ages, but I loved them.

Thanx for the memory. :)

We are watching The Vikings on Netflix. Shows how depraved humans are. The British were no better.
