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.

Silver cross, part of the Galloway Hoard, a Viking age treasure hoard uncovered near Balmaghie, Scotland, dated circa 900 AD
I've not seen it, or anything much on TV or streaming in a long while. Are 100-pound black women featured as Viking rulers and strong, independent leaders of troops of men?
You can "believe" whatever you want. Check out Viking history online. And by the by, Disney has not had a hand in the casting of that show. I don't recall any minorities in the show.
Would this be the online "history" that decided that a female skeleton with no signs of injuries, buried with pristine weapons, was proof that Norse women were viking warriors? Because I don't find that particularly convincing.
We come from the land of the ice and snow From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow The hammer of the gods Will drive our ships to new lands To fight the horde, sing and cry Valhalla, I am coming
If you get Netflix, there is a program called "Vikings" that is a true to life story of them that is fascinating.

DeleteIs this the one with the kick-ass girlboss going a-viking with the men? Because I suspect that that's not particularly "true to life".

DeleteI don't know about you but to me online arguments are such a waste of time. That is why I got rid of "Feces Book."
DeleteWhat intricate work. Imagine what effort that took in that era.

Stunning work...symbols of the 4 Evangelists: John, eagle; Mark, lion; Matthew, angel; Luke, ox.
