A Danish-Anglian oath-taking mercenary foreigner huscarl and heathen was teaching a class on Harald Godwinson, a known usurper.
"Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and swear loyalty to Harald and accept that he is the rightful heir to the throne of England, and ruler of all
Britannia!"
At this moment, a brave, Righteous, Christian, Normand vassal Knight who had sacked over 1500 townships and understood the necessity of pillaging and fully
supported Duke William as the rightful heir of Edward the Confessor stood up and held up a longboat.
"What's this for?"
The arrogant snownigger smirked quite Danishly and smugly replied "Raiding monasteries, you stupid Christian"
"Wrong. It’s for seaborne invasions. If Harald Godwinson, as you say, is the rightful heir... Then he should have recieved a Papal sanction by now."
The mercenary was visibly shaken, and dropped his bearded longaxe and pouch of Geld. He stormed out of the room crying about oaths and heathen deities. He wished so much that he had an
excuse to not fight the Normands, but he himself had sworn to defend Harald to the death!
The students applauded and all became vassals of Duke William that day and accepted the leadership and guidance of Bishop Odo. A comet named "Halebop" flew across the heavens, signalling the Duke's divine right to rule. The bible was not read, because no one could even read, and God himself guided their army to victory.
The viking lost his life and was beheaded at the battle of Hastings. He died defending the body of Harald and was buried with full honours.
Reminder that Saxon women prefered vikings because they were more hygienic.
Reminder vikings conquered most of England too.
Reminder a bunch of pirates installed puppet kings.

Reminder that Vikings were literal cuckolds:
"It is common behaviour for a Norse man to wear his shoes on his hands when his Anglo-Saxon taxman would visit to have his way with the Norse male's wife"
