Let's say that you owned, a big and beautiful property. It's a green, grassy meadow, with flowers blooming and butterflies flying around. You were the one to discover this place, and by all rights, it belongs to you, and you only. Having full jurisdiction over this place, and it being so precious, you declare it sacred.
Then, some dudes decide to trespass, squat down in the meadow, and take a fat, steaming dump.
On your property.
What would you do?
What would the Vikings have done?
Well, in this video, drawing from the Icelandic Sagas, we'll learn just what they did, and how a Blood Feud started between two families...over where it was OK, to go to the toilet.
