This week Innes grabs his axe and a handful of unreliable poems to tell us the tale of Viking Eric Bloodaxe. When facts fail us we once more lean on our favourite historical technique: Pure Speculation! Don’t worry we address the most vital of questions: Which one of us would’ve fared best in a Viking village? If we had to invade Norway today which (obscure) celebrities would we take with us? And finally, what would our own personal Valhalla look like?
