9. Vikings were unclean. In England, because of their custom of bathing every Saturday, Vikings had a reputation of excessive cleanness. Ibn Rustah, a 10th century Persian explorer, explicitly notes the eastern Vikings’ cleanness. During excavations of Viking sites, combs are among the most frequent objects found. Vikings used tweezers, razors and special “ear spoons” to keep their ears clean. They also produced soap.

Yeah, Alfred the Great probably bathed once a month I think he might have been prone to shitting himself. Every one of the Danes he accidentally defeated was probably cleaner than he.

WRONG!
Everyone knows that The Vikings(1958) is the pre-eminent source of information on vikings!
