And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Artifacts from viking’s ship burial in Steinkjer, Norway. C. 10th century AD
Shield bosses, arrowheads, a spear tip, an ax and a sword. Could those Viking people have been warlike?
My viking fictional short goes live on my blog later this week.
