Mass Grave of Beheaded Vikings Discovered

A recent discovery in Dorset, UK sheds light on the grisly nature of the Viking Age. The bodies of 51 men of Scandinavian origin are unearthed, all decapitated, leading to the speculation they were victims of an execution, likely by an Anglo Saxon militia they were captured by.

This is what the English used to do to invaders, now we give invaders free housing, free healthcare, benefits in excess of 20,000 pounds, our ancestors would be ashamed

This is just the result of some vikings having fun and testing the lower limits of how many men where actually needed to dominate the puny weak English people.:)

Turns out 50 was not enough. They gambled and lost , what can you say,.

They had balls!

@MrCattdog How so? We did defeat them ultimately and then went on to have the largest empire in human history..... no shame there.

Whats puny and weak about the Saxons? They ran from East Yorkshire to Hastings in full battle kit and they fought a battle at each end of the journey.
