I am descended from the Scottish and Irish kings of medieval times (it’s a lot of fun to look the stuff up) and one of the things I learned was the Vikings married their daughters to the line of Scot Kings.
Also how many people have ancestors like “Sigurd the Snakeeye” and Ivar the Boneless?
I can figure out the snake eye but for the life of me I can’t figure out how someone ended up being called Ivar the Boneless.

Haven't you ever the heard the phrase, “a boner”?
I believe it is synonymous with “hard-on”, but hey, I'm not expert.

Ivar was a cripple - he could not walk.
