Description
The way the movies portray it, Vikings dispatched their honored dead by laying the body on
a boat and setting the vessel on fire with flaming arrows. While some folks think a Viking
funeral would be a cool way to send off a loved one, this idealized grand gesture is historically
inaccurate. We’ll trace the history of this notion through different films and set the record
straight.
