TONY BRADMAN Q&A:
If you were a Viking warrior, what would your name be? And what about your battle cry?
I
love Viking warrior names – my favourites are Erik Bloodaxe, Ivar The
Boneless and of course, Harald Hardnut. I’d like my name to be exciting
too! But the Vikings had a great sense of humour, and I’m not very
tall, so I’d expect they would call me stumpy or something like that.
My battle cry would be easy – “Yaaaaaaagggghhh”
Which of the places in the book would you most like to visit: Russia, Norway or Constantinople? Why?
I’d
like to visit them all. Constantinople is now called Istanbul, and it’s
an ancient city full of interesting things. I studied Russian at school
and so I’d love to visit places like Novogorod and Kiev. And in fact,
I’ve just booked up to go to Oslo, capital of Norway – and the first
place I’ll visit is the Viking Ship Museum….
If you were a
Viking warrior, and could have any person from history/film/books in
your gang – who would you choose? And Why? What would the gang be
called?
I’d pick all the great Viking warriors – Harald
Hardnut, Erik Bloodaxe, the Godwin brothers Tostig and Harold, maybe
Thor the Norse God, Beowulf, Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Boromir and
Faramir from Lord of the Rings and loads of others. What would we be
called? Why The Cool Vikings, of course!
