The priest asked each man "What do you believe?" The implication being that if they answered "Jesus" they would have their throats slit and be spared burning to death. At least one of the Saxons replied "I believe in my own strength, and nothing else".Is vikings only accepted Christianity because we fought better than the ancestors and it made them think twice.

This was the beginning of the centuries-long struggle between the White Christ and Red Thor. The Great Heathen Army, however, was motivated by a more personal loss. Ivar the Boneless, Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye, Halfdan Hvitserk and Bjorn Ironside. Their father was Ragnar Lodbrok, who had been killed by Ælla the King of Northumbria and thrown into a pit of snakes. Ælla brought down their wrath all on his own. That he expected anything less just means he wasn't fit to rule to begin with.
