So…
If I was married to a Viking and I was really annoyed with him and wanted to burn his turf-roofed longhouse to the ground…can I?
I know Vikings set fire to each other’s longhouses quite commonly, but that’s a lot of men on the attack. Could one person do it efficiently, perhaps from the inside, fast enough to not get caught at it?
(And if there’s a saga which covers a one-woman rampage, please tell me which one?)
