* TheFarmerAndTheViper: When Thorsfinn gets injured during a mission in England, he gets nursed back to health by an English woman and her daughter. The mother was particularly set on taking care of Thorsfinn because he reminded her of her deceased son, even though they knew that he was a viking. Later, Thorsfinn sends a signal to Askeladd and the other vikings [[RapePillageAndBurn to raze the place.]] However, Thorsfinn did tell the woman to get away, but the damage had already been dealt to her. One of the few times that we see a glimpse of remorse from Thorsfinn.

Still they're in 1018, the Dark Ages, no Bible was written in any language other than latin, also pretty much any class below nobles and the clergy didn't know how to read; the odds of any lower class being able to read latin, or a bible being translated to his language, and even so being able ''to read his own language'' is extremely low, to downright impossible.

Though their actual existance is disputed, Thorkell was reportedly a commander of the Jomsvikings.
