Most characters die at the hands of others. Sometimes the method of killing is courtesy of the standard stabbing, and then there are the times that killers go too far.

It’s logical to assume that resolving disputes peacefully was never an option for people who lived during the Viking Age. Every disagreement ended with a killing. Every loser in a physical or psychological battle ended up dead too. There was no conceding and going away to live peacefully.
