This is very interesting Laurence, shedding light on a little known aspect of Viking culture. Here in Ireland we tend to regard the Vikings as heroic and semi-mythical and not as colonisers, which of course they were. Ownership of slaves was obviously a universal phenomenon, and a badge of shame too.
