Ragnar Lodbrok may not be real, but his sons are historical figures. Viking helmets had no horns, Viking swords were for slashing, and not for stabbing. Their most common weapons were spears. Rollo’s name was Hrolf the Ganger (gangly). He was tall enough that his feet touched the ground, when he rode the smaller horses of the time. The southern part of what is now Norway, was part of the DaneMark. Eric the Red was not a king. There were no kings in Iceland. Harald Hardrada (the Hard). When he invaded northern England, he arrived with 200 ships full of men. After Harold Godwinson defeated Harald Hardrada and Harold’s brother, Tostig Godwinson, only 20 ships were needed to take what remained of Hardrada’s army back to Norway. Egil Skallagrim(bald head)sson was not a king, either.
