QWhat's the breed of dog Princess Aslaug has which was featured in first season episode "All Change"?
ASince we were not able to fully agree with (Alaskan) Malamute, Keeshond and Caucasian Shepherd:Aslaug's cutie is probably a mix.Kathy said:
"I believe during that era, and later, Royalty used a breed called the Irish Wolfhound today. A great pet,HUGE, but with a short lifespan."Irish Wolfhounds are shown in another scene, when Princess Kwenthrith arrives with her tross at King Ecbert.
Auslaug's cute teddy-bear for sure doesn't have any of these slim dogs in his veins!

QHow come the Norsemen talk about Hell? Are they not supposed to be pagans?
AThe word "Hell" originates from Germanic mythology and was the name for the underworld, as well as the godess who ruled this realm, much like Hades was the name of both a realm and a god in Greek Mythology. The Anglo-Saxons and Norsemen practiced Germanic mythology and when they where converted to Christianity the word was adopted as the word for the Christian concept.
