Being 1/2 Swede and 1/2 Norwegian, I will gladly accept Danegeld if it will help assuage any guilt.

Did they get Brett Favre?
To: SunkenCiv
At least the English probably didn’t waterboard them.

More civilized than leaving them out for the critters - or displaying them near the shore.
I would have displayed them near the shore.

But what if they did? Were the English sophisticated enough to know what waterboarding was? Oh. Wait. Maybe that’s where “keelhaul” came from!

With all due respect to Rudyard Kipling, once you pay the Danegeld, you can get rid of the Dane. And that is how.

I would have displayed them near the shore. That's what I always do.

The Vikings also liked to navigate rivers.

In the front yard of my farm on the Isle of Man archaeologists found the burial place of a Viking King and next to him was his tiny (teen?) wife who was killed and buried with him for his trip to Valhalla.
The Isle of man was discovered by Vikings.

Yeah, when the Danes killed a
certain East Anglian king two hundred years earlier, I think there's some reason to their madness.
