Know anything about naval combat in ~the viking age~? Like, did boats fight other boats, would an assault from the sea be from a Big Boat (technical term) at range, would folks go ashore in smaller boats? Is it obvious yet how much I don't know about vikings and boats?

Naval warfare wasn’t really a thing for the vikings, they were more about raiding small villages and churches for valubles, especially early in the Viking age. There weren’t many ships going through the same areas, and there was no real point in trying to raid another party’s boat, since there was going to be more to raid on land.

As far as how they would raid, viking ships were designed to float quite high in the water (I would add a link but I’m on mobile and lazy), which allowed them to sail up rivers and into bays. So there was no need for smaller boats to take them to land, there was just a short distance to run through the shallow water.

Thanks for the ask! I love both vikings and boats

Also, although I can’t find a good text on the web right now, the King’s Mirror (1250, so admittedly post-Viking age) has a bunch on how to fight from ship-to-ship.

Weird Al:

1. Is very cautious about the effect of his works, apologizing whenever he does something even a tiny bit offensive on accident.

2. Asks for permission from the creators of the songs he parodies, even though he legally doesn’t have to.

3. Is a straight-up genius; he skipped two grades and graduated at 16 the valedictorian of his class. He went to CalTech.

4. Is often upset by the fact that any parody of any song is usually mistakenly attributed to him, espeically the dirty ones because he’s careful to keep his music safe for all ages.

5. Is a genuine A+ human being, 10/10 would recommend.

6. Is everyone’s goofy uncle.

7. Is just as good in concert as on recordings

Medieval villagers mutilated the dead to stop them rising, study finds

A study by archaeologists has revealed certain people in medieval Yorkshire were so afraid of the dead they chopped, smashed and burned their skeletons to make sure they stayed in their graves.

The research published by Historic England and the University of Southampton may represent the first scientific evidence in England of attempts to prevent the dead from walking and harming the living – still common in folklore in many parts of the world.

The archaeologists who studied a collection of human bones – including the remains of adults, teenagers and children excavated more than half a century ago, and dated back to the period between the 11th and 14th century – rejected gruesome possibilities including cannibalism in times of famine, or the massacre of outsiders. The cut marks were in the wrong place for butchery, and isotope analysis of the teeth showed that the people came from the same area as the villagers of Wharram Percy in North Yorkshire – a once flourishing village which had been completely deserted by the early 16th century.
