I object to the sentence:
"In the Battle on the Ice, the combatants are described as fighting on horseback, although the later Vikings and Anglo-Saxons who told of this battle in their legends would fight on foot."
Not only because I think its more correct to call scandinavians for scandinavians and not vikings, but mainly becuase its simply not true. Scandinavians used horses according to Tacitus, Jordanes and later historians.
