Memorable Quotes
Rollo: [To the warband] "Up into the overturned keel. Clamber with a heart of steel. Cold is the ocean's spray. When your death is on its way! With maidens you have had your way." Leif: "Each must die someday!"

Lord Wigea: [To King Aelle] "Sire, I have never in my life seen men fight as these Northmen fight. Believe me there's something devilish in the way they look, in their lack of fear in the face of death." King Aelle: "My lord, that is just a counsel of despair. Are these pagans not men, as we are? Do they not bleed where they are cut? Or do they have wings and tongues of fire!?"
