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..... 😝 #Viking #Hygiene #Virtue #myculture #history

The Eurasian lynx was close to extinction in Scandinavia in the 1930s. Since the 1950s, the population slowly recovered and forms three subpopulations in northern, central and southern Scandinavia. In Norway, the Eurasian lynx was subjected to an official bounty between 1846 and 1980 and could be hunted without license. In 1994, a compensation scheme for livestock killed by lynx was introduced to save the animal from extinction. #wildlife #myculture #Lynx #Norse #animal
