Kinda interesting. However, some of the stories are dubious at best.
Haraldr Hálfdanarson, commonly called Haraldr Hárfagri, (literally "Harald Fair-hair) was described in several of the Kings' sagas He ruled from 872–930: a couple of centuries before those sagas were written). While the story about his refusal to cut his hair until he ruled as a king is commonly known, the nickname "the lousy" is a new one. He was sometimes known as"Shockhead" or "Tanglehair" (Haraldr lúfa).
Ivar Ragnarsson AKA "Ivarr inn beinlausi" died about 873 CE. The existing accounts of him were written a couple of centuries after he lived, and those blended in plenty of magic and folklore. He was said to have won one battle by defeating a bewitched cow named Sibilja.
The Scandinavian sagas clearly describe Ivarr as 'lacking bones'. The mid-twelfth century poem Hattalykill says he was 'without any bones at all' (clearly a medical impossibility).
The sagas also say that 'neither love nor lust played any part in his life', and he died childless. Was he impotent-- "boneless?"
It might have been an ironic nickname, for which the Vikings were well-known, in much the same way as we refer to a fat man as "Slim"or a tall man as "Tiny" - so a larger than average Viking might be called "Boneless", or he may simply have had very supple joints (in modern terms - 'double-jointed'). Osteogenises imperfecta,is only one of several hypotheses. And I seriously doubt anyone dared call him "boneless" to his face.

Other not so nicely named historical figures include:
Constantine the Name of Shit
Haakon the Crazy
Henry the Impotent
Ivaylo the Swineherd
Jean the Poorest Man in France
John Lackland/Softsword
Justinian the Slitnosed

Well, there we have it. If a woman wants to join the reenactment, she needs to create an identity as a male.

They should just make Matt the central character of episode 9. Episode 8 already proved that every male character is just a clown now.

Actually, they wouldn't REALLY stop the wedding for that. (Dang; no wonder I'm single.)

My hat goes off to people like Mac. One idle dream of mine was to hike the Appalachian Trail. In Scouts we did it for a couple of days. Later I read Bill Bryson's "A Walk In The Woods" when after a lot of walking they have only made it to TN. He took time off and resumed from where they would have been, to find it was still only 1/2-way there. My dream is now down to going for a hike for a few weeks, rather than many months. I'm now about the age Bryson was for his book, so it's still eminently doable.

Vlad popped in my head before I even saw the list of choices.
However, Lord Nibbler is pretty appealing as well.

If you look at the water surrounding the island, you can sometimes see a shark jumping.

Great article, Eddie! You really added depth to what was an already emotional experience. The side stories are incredible -- I never knew Spielberg was in the film! And I know that Spielberg will get his wish -- E.T. and Schindler's are bound to be his most decorated and talked-about films!
