Board Games Are Their Thing
When the Vikings were not busy pillaging resources and farming, their favorite hobby was playing board games. Vikings love the popular board game called Hnefetafl. It was the game that the player could choose the role of a king or the attacker. If the person decided to be a king, he could use the “defender” pieces to protect the player. However, if the person picked the role of an attacker, he should overthrow the king by letting his part get into the other side of the board. We might be sure that this game resulted in fistfights.

“Blood Eagle” Is A Made-Up Story
One of the well-known myths in the Viking culture was the concept of “Blood Eagle” execution. It was all made-up stories by other people. Vikings performed blood Eagle with the procedure of breaking the person’s rib, opening their back, and pouring salt inside their body to keep them alive and would not pass out. We could not know why they wanted to make a story out of it. However, we did not understand why they made a horrifying story that could ruin their reputation. We assured everyone that Vikings was not as brutal as we thought they would be. There were not the same people that we watched in the movies. However, Norse did come up with their execution, but it was not portrayed in the literature.
