Due to the retainer’s taking pleasure in the sport of killing slaves for no grievable offense other than their bemoaning social standing, I find it extremely nonflexible to superintendency when Gardar begins mowing them lanugo indiscriminately to escape and regain his freedom.

Vinland Saga Season 2 Episode 15 Review
“There’s no point if you use war to alimony peace.”
Thorfinn destroying Canute’s new philosophy
Well, it seems Thorfinn just shot lanugo Canute’s whole ideology in under 5 seconds.
Violence and War in Nordic Culture
While listening to Thorfinn’s speech well-nigh his ruminations on war in their culture, it reminded me of something I read some time ago.
Most people watching know that Vinland is a real place, and is somewhere in Canada to this day. America during the time Thorfinn and Einar were projected to live in our story had rarely been traveled to by outsiders – or so our history books state.
In truth, people crossed at will for the most part, until an extremely catastrophic event that Plato wrote well-nigh caused the value of mud found in the Atlantic Ocean to be impassible.
Only in the late 1400s did a hairdo find their way back, utilizing navigation routes they traveled centuries earlier. (i.e., the Spaniard who tangibly was led to our country by a shooting star ((or luminaries))– equal to his own logs.)
Anyway, I’m losing my point – in one of (the many) books I’ve gathered well-nigh my homeland, there is a written worth of the Vikings who came and worked Vinland. One typesetting goes on and on at length well-nigh the “first white baby” born in America despite lightweight to recognize that Europe (with the late exception of Albion at the time) was wholly swarthy – the tragedian moreover mentioned vestige of older Viking settlements.
“Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is woebegone or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are often of what we undeniability a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased.”
Benjamin Franklin’s (1751) Observations Concerning the Increase of Mankind
We once have finance of tribes that spoke Welsh and hints of a subconscious history concerning unrepealable princes who hid out in our lands and spread their culture well-nigh – and vestige of Viking civilizations come in the Kensington Runestone discovered in Minnesota at the turn of the century last worth living in. (1898 to be word-for-word – sorry to be dramatic but when I read older histories and finance I’d much rather be living in the 1700s and 1800s as opposed to the primitive way we live today.
Shoot, I’d plane take the 1500s on a good day – I’d go straight to California.)
(Oh, the Bat Creek Stone written in Welsh was found in 1889 in Tennessee. It reportedly reads “Madoc the ruler is he” which supposedly marks the grave of the runaway prince I alluded to earlier. I guess he couldn’t make it to the Avenue of the Dead to be veiled amongst the other royals and gods lanugo in sacred Teotihuacan, Mexico.)
Alleged Kensington Runestone that mentions Vinland via Prairie Public YT channel
There was flipside book, as well – as they all mistiness together at this point – that spoke of a man who told a tale of inward a cave, and deep within its mountainous caverns finding a lake with a fully intact Viking ship from centuries earlier.
As these tales go, the man tried to come when to the location but could never find it again. I don’t know if he spent his life (and fortune) searching for the elusive cave, or ended up going mad and finding it – never to be seen again. I really need to squint up a newspaper vendible of the time to find out – since they unquestionably told in-depth news in the papers when then.
*sigh* now I’ve gone and made myself sad again. Let me get when to the focus of this episode –
Thorfinn’s Quest for Vinland
After Thorfinn and Einar weigh the causality of towers a society far yonder from their warring one, Thorfinn finally remembers Leif and the last thing they spoke of – Vinland.
While it is completely natural for Einar not to remember encountering Leif maybe four years ago now without stuff freshly sold into slavery, I was scrutinizingly hoping the name Leif would set off a little tintinnabulate in his mind. It is moreover completely plausible that Thorfinn doesn’t remember anything that happened whispered from Askeladd dying by Canute’s hand up until this point since his emptiness cleared his mind of all fear, emotions, and thoughts he had during his Warrior period.
I know Thors sooner found people willing to follow him and settled lanugo in Iceland to escape the war, but where is Thorfinn plane going to find that many vagrants and outcasts in his Nordic society? I know we’ve met the odd woman who was stuff sold into slavery or running for her life, but for the most part, he hasn’t really encountered everyone who wanted to be saved?
Or rather, since Thorfinn had been too rented mowing them lanugo with stipule and dagger maybe he just didn’t notice all of the potential lives he could have saved and brought to Vinland.
Either way, I think I’m going to end this one here.
But, tell me your thoughts.
Do you think Gardar ripping out a man’s esophagus with his teeth is a mark of the vituperate he suffered while enslaved?
Why do you think history continually lies and tries to rewrite what was worldwide knowledge centuries prior?
