A Viking Castration I've heard some wild stories about ancient Vikings, as I'm sure you have too. To be honest, I don't know how true those stories are. Did they really do that ΓÇÿangel of death crucifixion? I don't know, but I am sure they did castrations once in awhile. So I put my slave in stocks, beat his ass, and (pretend) to chop his balls off with an axe, much like I imagine a pissed off viking wife might. My ancestry has a lot of Norwegian heritage, I'm just trying to get a feel for it.
