episode 13: Saga Lout - Egill Skallagrimsson
Extreme violence, senseless butchery, tactical vomiting and poetry.
It's hard-drinking, hard rhyming, easily offended Viking heartthrob Egill Skallagrimsson.
- How many men did he kill in combat?
- How much ale did he drink in one session?

It's all in episode 13 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - The podcast of bad behaviour in period costume
