A Kingdom and a Horse — Snorri Kristjansson

"A Kingdom and a Horse" was published in the anthology Blackguards: Tales of Assassins, Mercenaries, and Rogues.

About this story, author Snorri Kristjansson says, "'A Kingdom and a Horse' is set in the universe of my Valhalla Saga, which is pretty much 10th century Northern Europe because I'm not clever enough to build a world of my own. It contains the story of legendary Viking captain Sigurd and his trusty right-hand man Sven's youthful escapades in England. If your trade is to be looting and pillaging, you have to learn somewhere...right?"
