According to the Saxon cleric, John of Wallingford, the Vikings bathed weekly, on a Saturday. Wallingford complained that this, and their habit of changing their clothes regularly, was to “ undermine the virtue of married women and even seduce the daughters of nobles to be their mistresses.”
Changing their clothes and bathing.... those heathens, they had no shame..... 😝
