Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Most of the time I'm a joyful man, but I can also be pretty eccentric and even cunning. My loyalty to Ragnar was once questioned and the man who did this lost his life because of his ignorance. So who am I?
2. I was the fugleman of Kattegat, but died in a one-on-one battle and my successor as a local ruler was the man who killed me.
3. Once I was a monk, but the Vikings took me as their slave. However, I grew in the eyes of some of them thanks to my ability to adapt to their lifestyle. Yet I have the feeling that Floki doesn't like me at all.
4. My husband cheated on me and I chose to leave. I killed my second spouse because he treated me with disrespect. I inherited his title and lands and faithful to my warrior woman nature, connected again with my ex offering him the strength of my fighters (and my assistance too) for the raids over Britain.
5. I have what they call a complex personality. I sought the help of a powerful lord in order to (let's say it this way) 'deal with my brother'. I later joined forces with my brother against my ex-ally.
6. My parents split up when I was a child. The reason was my father's relationship with another woman. I grew up with my mother. Both of my parents are successful warriors. Now I follow their steps participating in military campaigns which already gained me the nickname 'Ironside'.
7. I had an agreement with a mighty battler from Kattegat and our rival was my partner's brother. But they somehow found a resolution to their contradictions and this resulted in my untimely death.
8. I became an earl after prevailing over the previous potentate of Kattegat. My thirst for knowledge is one of the main differences between me and my predecessor. In a way, it even provoked the fight that led to his death.
9. My husband died in a face-to-face encounter. Despite of my grief, I was the first one to congratulate his opponent as the new possessor. I lost my daughter because of the plague.
10. My mother is the legendary shield-maiden Brynhildr and my father Sigurd slew the dragon Fafnir. I am the second wife of Ragnar Lothbrok. I sometimes have visions, so I can be referred to as some sort of a prophetess.
11. I was the ruler of Denmark. I considered Ragnar Lothbrok a threat for my throne, so I initiated a plot against him, but my allies betrayed me and I paid with my life.
12. I was the lord of Hedeby. My wife stabbed me in the eye and then one of my men beheaded me.
13. I was once a slave girl. Later my lady, princess (later a queen) Aslaug, released me from my duties and I became a free woman. I now practice swordsmanship.
14. I am the King of Wessex. One of my preceptors was Charlemagne. In spite of being the head of a Christian state, I show interest for pagan culture.
15. I decapitated my overlord, because I felt disgust of the way he handled his wife. Still I feel kind of disappointed, because my own family chose his widow (and not me) an earl.
