1631 AD - In the 30 Years War

The Swedish Greve (count), Olof, took the time to honour his viking ancestors. How?

Raiding innocents

...

Past the Battle of Breitenfeld—a masterstroke of the Swedish, protestant force—Greve Olof Gormsson af Kråkön (28) (along with his men) have chased the Catholic rout back to a pious, little village. Of Catholics, yes, but harmless, innocent Catholics.

Growing up, the Greve had always idolised his parents and theirs, and their parents and all the way up to his favourite, Jarl Gorm 'the Gory' Ulfsson (31 †)—a vikingr of clan Kraken, tallest among his time—and Olof, standing at 6'4", happens to be one of the tallest of his time. Like ancestor, like descendant,

Olof called for raze and plunder.
