What Was It Like To Be a Rich Viking?

Most people picture Viking wealth as gold coins, castles, and crowns. It was none of those things. A wealthy Viking wore their entire fortune on their arm, cut chunks off it with a knife to pay for things, and built their power on a trade network stretching from Norway to Baghdad. The richest among them owned Central Asian silk, lived in halls longer than a football pitch, and could literally buy their way out of murder with a precise silver calculation. This is what being rich in the Viking Age actually looked like, and it's more interesting than anything Hollywood came up with.
