   If that was all they did, they let him off easy. Here's another approach the Vikings were know to take:
   1) break all peripheral bones, then
   2) cut out strips of flesh, then
   3) garrotte until near dead, then
   4) throw onto an open fire, then
   5) throw in a ditch and leave for dead (which will be true in the near future, if not in the recent past).

   They had to be pretty annoyed before doing this, though.

   I was expecting the famous blood eagle but I see History Marche continue to present respectful quality work -blood eagles very probably never worked on a living soul… Edmund, the new Saint Sebastian!
