Lucky you! Have to admit I'm also interested in Sagas and the Vikings. Sagas for the poetry and glimpse of history they offer. The Vikings because I'm astonished at how large a role slavery played in the settlement of Iceland. It seems a lot of Viking "brides" were captured from the British Isles and brought to Iceland. Amazing to me how widespread slavery was, in Europe, in the early Middle Ages. Nothing glamorous about that.
I won't enter the contest--I know my limitations. But thanks for the invitation :)
