This the the type of shorts I watch at 3:00AM and wake up thinking I had a fever-dream of it.

Vikings also had traditions around divorce. A primary wife could demand a divorce and a part of the property.

honestly a sword as a proposal gift is 10 times better than any ring

"love is a battlefield" such a funny yet absolutely true statement

"to be a lover you need to be a fighter. Cause if you're not a fighter. What kind of love are you fighting for?"

Imagine complaining that your competition is cleaner than you

[KittyNoodlesPPC]

What I'm hearing is that there have ALWAYS been weird smelly dudes with bad hair complaining that the guys who know how to use shampoo are the ones landing babes

As a man born and raised in Wallingford, I love seeing old Johns viking chronicles being sourced 😂❤

Hygiene was very important for them because they lived on ships and disease would spread. Very quickly, so they would ritualistically clean themselves in order to not anger.The gods, but in reality, it served a practical purpose

That last part is something I've also been taught in Danish school. Like it is hilarious, modern media portraits, vikings as Dirty, rough men. Meanwhile, they were so beautiful and clean, especially for the time.

Another common practice? Men may have done the raiding but women guarded and kept the keys to the storehouse. So she managed the loot.

I find it hilarious that the English were pissed the vikings were too clean and kept attracting all their women. Like wash your ass every day then, Charles, maybe Mary will turn around and give you another look.
