RE: Viking history - part 2 - the first raid
I can't even imagine what it would be like living in those times @gyldenhorn. I bet a lot of them died along the way without modern medicine and antibiotics. I think the average lifespan back then was like 35 years old and you got married when you're like 14. I'm enjoying the series about the Vikings, it's a learning experience.
Hello @Tbnfl4sun
That is true that a lot of wounds and other sicknesses were more deadly in the middel ages, but they were also very enlightened about herbs and other remedies who help them if the got sick.
It is true that the average lifespan was around 35 years, but we know that many of the also lived until their 80 or 90 years.
I will come with a lot of historic post in the time to come, so hope you will like them
Kindest regards
