Thanks Carol. I'm glad you enjoyed this article and that the quirky Viking - ice skate - fact excited the imagination. I love stuff like that and am working on a Viking short story that includes a few interesting little known minutia of Norse mythology + life, should be up on steemit within a week.

P.s. that book looks interesting and I've watched all the series of 'vikings' all about Ragnar Lothbrook... Absolutely love it ☺

P.s. sry for the late response. I'm away from home with no access to steemit other than my phone and rubbish WiFi.
