There are Icelandic sagas out there that make the feuds of A Song of Ice and Fire look like My Little Pony

do u think any bracken ever fucked a blackwood

The literal funniest part of the feud is that they keep arranging marriages between each other over and over and over again like this one will fix it I swear. And it never does. Tomorrow they will try this again. I love love

#volsunga saga #signy #she does eventually get a son who is 100% more volsung #don't ask how but it would make cersei lannister proud #i mean the tragedy of a lot of early medieval germanic literature is how women get caught between feuding families.#In old english literature they are supposed to be peace-weavers bridging the divide between feuding families and it never works #and they have to sadly watch as their families tear each other apart and they lose everyone they love #in old norse literature they're here to make things worse on purpose and get VENGEANCE #so yeah i mean in medieval literature they did sometimes have beef with their children #like spoiler alert for volsunga saga but signy has all her sons except for one killed because they aren't good enough at vengeance
