...you find yourself looking at your notes going, "Yes, okay, I know about William the Conquerer, but wasn't there a William the Bloody, too? What did he do?"

...yeah.

Despite the fact that I've got Haralds and Olafs coming out my ears by now, though, I really do find the subject very interesting! I just wish that there was greater diversity of names among the historical figures, and that each of them would content themselves with just one name. (I'm looking at you, St. Olaf.)

In the interest of helping me study while at the same time keeping my brain from melting from studying too much, ask me any questions you may have about Viking history and/or culture, and I will answer to the best of my ability. I am by no means an authority on the subject, but I'm more than eager to chat... and I like to think I'm a slightly better conversationalist than Wikipedia.
