Ah, you’re giving me good History lessons tonight. I am not well read on Vikings, but do enjoy learning about them.
Also, I must say a bit red faced, I am by birth a Finn Swede, maternal grandparents having both come from Finland at the turn of the century.
Father’s side Dutch German.
That calls for a limerick...
A twitter frenzy ensued
when nuance was misconstrued
Making us barf

Who augurs a future now screwed.

Well, you are the real deal-my ancestors were nowhere near all that Dark Age living large-they were from the Spanish Pyrenees. My dad was a career military man-and got me interested at an early age in the weapons and strategies of war-particularly those of the Roman and so called Dark Age eras.
