And what a great cover, I'd buy the book on the strength of that alone. Thea, on the Brough of Birsay, a tidal island in Orkney which was home first to a Pictish settlement and later to a Norse one, there are the remains of some quite impressive plumbing arrangements for bathing. I'm pretty sure those are part of the Norse phase of building. So at least some Vikings were into bathing. When not leaping off the prow of the longship or whatever, even the berserkers led surprisingly domesticated lives, if the sagas are to be believed. I must read these!
