In 1636, the Danish scholar Ole Worm published the \u003ci\u003eRunir seu Danica literatura antiquissima\u003c\/i\u003e, in which he translated a passage from the \u003ci\u003eKrákumál\u003c\/i\u003e, a death song attributed to Ragnar Lothbrok. The text announces that the warriors will soon drink \u003ci\u003eór bjúgviðum hausa\u003c\/i\u003e — “from the curved branches of the skull”, an entirely classic kenning for \u003cb\u003edrinking horns\u003c\/b\u003e, which do indeed grow on the animal's skull. Worm rendered the phrase as \u003ci\u003eex craniis eorum quos occiderant\u003c\/i\u003e, “from the skulls of those they had slain”. The image was too good to die: it has come down through four centuries, and it is printed on this T-shirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e📖 \u003cstrong\u003eTo go further:\u003c\/strong\u003e Discover \u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/news\/chopes-mugs-viking-guide-taverne-nordique\" title=\"Viking Tankards and Mugs: The Art of Drinking Like a Norse Warrior\"\u003eour guide to the Viking art of drinking\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e♦ Complete Your Viking Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover other pieces you might like:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tee-shirt-viking-chat-guerrier-hache-coton\" title=\"Viking Warrior Cat with Axe Cotton T-Shirt\"\u003eViking Warrior Cat with Axe Cotton T-Shirt\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tee-shirt-viking-see-you-in-valhalla-crane-coton\" title=\"See You In Valhalla Skull Viking Cotton T-Shirt\"\u003eSee You In Valhalla Skull Viking Cotton T-Shirt\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tee-shirt-viking-humour-guerrier-hache-coton\" title=\"Funny Viking Warrior with Axe Cotton T-Shirt\"\u003eFunny Viking Warrior with Axe Cotton T-Shirt\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Le Comptoir Viking","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":57874251678078,"sku":"LCV-TS-108-01","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":57874251645310,"sku":"LCV-TS-108-02","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":57874251612542,"sku":"LCV-TS-108-03","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":57874251809150,"sku":"LCV-TS-108-04","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":57874251776382,"sku":"LCV-TS-108-05","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3XL","offer_id":57874251743614,"sku":"LCV-TS-108-06","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4XL","offer_id":57874251710846,"sku":"LCV-TS-108-07","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5XL","offer_id":57874251579774,"sku":"LCV-TS-108-08","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"6XL","offer_id":57874251547006,"sku":"LCV-TS-108-09","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/0569\/8430\/files\/tee-shirt-viking-humour-boire-dans-le-crane-coton-porte.jpg?v=1787244048","url":"https:\/\/www.le-comptoir-viking.fr\/en\/products\/tee-shirt-viking-humour-boire-dans-le-crane-coton","provider":"Le Comptoir Viking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
