A discussion arose the other night amongst some compatriots over whether
the Vikings had ever fought battles from their longships, part of the
question being how they might have rowed and battled at the same time,
and part of the question being whether or not this ever happened in the
first place (making the first question irrelevant).
Tom provided some interesting info this morning from Snorri Sturluson
about King Harald Sigurdsson's battle on the Nissa River. Is there any
other written evidence that the Vikings ever did combat from their ships?
