    This character reminded me so much of my grandfather, a tough old farmer who survived all kinds of ridiculous wounds - from grisly chainsaw accidents, to large branches crashing down on his head while felling trees, getting his chest pinned against a tree by a tractor going DOWNHILL, etc. He had a massive but slender frame, dense wiry muscle with thick skin, hands twice as big as any of ours, and I dare say was *one* of the strongest men to walk the earth. He'd lift thick logs that a few other men working with him couldn't lift *together.* He worked harder and more productively in his 70's than most men worked in their 20's. What finally killed him wasn't a physical wound, or hardly even old age, but losing his wife of 50+ years, and not having the will to continue on any further. Family was everything to him, and he lived to provide for his wife and several kids on his homestead for several decades. He'd had a weak heart for quite a long time before he turned 80, when his wife was still alive, but still worked just as hard as ever. It was a few months after my grandmother died that his heart finally gave out, after he'd spent those months being depressed, and noticeably done with this world. When he collapsed against the bathroom sink, he broke a towel holder on the side of the sink, and was still trying to fix it up until the moment of his passing, his work ethic still intact. I've yet to become aware of a more honorable and stoic man than him, and my children and grandchildren will know of him, as well.
    Stories like Tostig's only make me appreciate having known a man like that more.

      „Cowardly attack“: in a man to man duel yes. There its about honor.

      Thats the difference.
      You want to save your comrades lives and so you attack when you can.

    See the problems with fighting the vikings is that you're not fighting men.. their purpouse in life is to bring honor to their ancestors in battle by pleasing the will of the gods and thus ascend to Valhalla. They spent their entire lives since the day they were born training, fighting and raiding. How do you fight a man without fear, a man that is expecting to die in battle against a worthy oponent. The thought of having to face such warriors must have been bone-chilling...

      I mean the Vikings were pretty scary but there were several opponents that regularly DUMPSTERED them in open battle. In fact, Viking tactics do the utmost to avoid open battles, instead raiding, attacking supply lines, and retreating quickly. The French and the Saxons were victimized by Viking raids but almost always crushed them in actual battles.

    Ite I'm sick of people claiming Bohdi Sanders' quote as their own words of wisdom. Here's the full thing:
    “Beware of an old man in a profession where men usually die young.
    Old warriors did not get old by accident; they got old by being wise, having the right knowledge, and being tough. Never underestimate an old man who has grown up in a rough profession or a rough environment.
    These men have been around. They have done things, and experienced things, that you probably have never even thought about. They are tough, their minds are tough, and they have the knowledge, the skill, and the will to finish you off, if you force them to do so. A boy will fight you, but an older man will hurt you.”

      @alexman378 7 років тому +1

      I wish we could get a glimpse of Ragnar having a drink with Haraldson and fight beside him, show that all the earthly resentment they had for each other doesn't matter any more. Both had a secret admiration for each other, Haraldson admitted Ragnar was great and was what he once was himself, and Ragnar said that Haraldson was a great man worthy of a good send off, regardless of what he did to him.

    He is too eager to join his friends in next world. It shivers to spine, feel then pain and anguish he been through in years and at last he leaves this world to join his eternal friends in next world with an everlasting smile on his face .....
