(I'm of Nordic descent (About 75% Scandanavian) and I disagree. I think you might see someone taking trophies, but they wouldn't just split a corpse open for the fun of it. The Anglo-Danes bathed once a week. We don't actually know much about the barbarity of Vikings because the Christians were the ones who told the history, and they were very biased against Vikings. The Anglo-Danes bathed once a week as a part of their religion, so Vikings may not be as ruthless and evil as they are sometimes made out to be)
