“I don't know where the idea of Vikings having horns on their helmets came from, but it's a brilliant one. In every possible way, other than the literal truth, they totally had horns on their helmets. Horned helmets was absolutely their vibe and I feel we all have a right to that deeper artistic truth. They had limited technology and manufacturing helmets was pretty tricky for them, I imagine, so putting horns on them wouldn't have been workable, and wouldn't ave increased the functionality of the helmets, but I swear they'd have given it a go if they'd thought of it.”
David Mitchell, Unruly: The Ridiculous History of England's Kings and Queens

“If men's lives had any meaning in this world, they had to provide it for themselves by achieving something for which they would be remembered.”
John Haywood, Northmen: The Viking Saga, 793-1241 AD
