I love Sweden. Look forward to the incarnation of the Ragnar. May they expel their oppressors.

BTW, Ragnar was a Danish Viking king, not Swedish. But so what, I spent 21 years in Denmark vs only 12 years in Sweden before that :) even got both my University Master degrees in Copenhagen before moving on to Munich, Germany just 2 years later. 28 MARCH 845 VIKINGS SACK PARIS: The Siege of Paris and the Sack of Paris of 845 was the culmination of a Viking invasion of the kingdom of the West Franks. The Viking forces were led by a Danish chieftain named "Reginherus", or Ragnar, who traditionally has been identified with the legendary saga character Ragnar Lodbrok. Ragnar's fleet of 120 Viking ships, carrying thousands of men, entered the Seine in March and proceeded sailing up the river. The West Frankish king Charles the Bald assembled a smaller army in response, but as the Vikings defeated one division, comprising half of the army, the remaining forces retreated. The Vikings reached Paris at the end of the month, during Easter. After plundering and occupying the city, the Vikings finally withdrew after receiving a ransom payment of 7,000 French livres, or pounds (2,570 kilograms (5,670 lbs) of silver and gold from Charles the Bald. Happy Easter,
