Sounds a lot like the Michael Crichton novel and film, The Thirteenth Warrior. Antonio Banderas played the visiting Arab prince who joined up with a bunch of Viking warriors. A good story. Those Vikings were badasses.

The girls were rather, uh, promiscuous in that tale too.

The role of the thrall girl would make for a very twisted movie.

a funeral of a Scandinavian, Swedish, chieftain who was on an expedition on the eastern route. The account is a unique source on the ceremonies surrounding the Viking funeral, of a chieftain. The dead chieftain

Gee. Do you you think this guy might have been - a CHIEFTAIN?
