Mysterious Jomsvikings: Fearless Scandinavian Warrior-Brotherhood
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - The mysterious Jomsvikings were no ordinary Viking warriors, but a fearless Scandinavian warrior-brotherhood. Each fighter must obey the 11 military rules set by the order. Violation of these rules could result in immediate expulsion from the order.
