The Swedish writer Rune Per Olofson was a priest in his youth, which did not stop him from openly describing the free morals of the cruel Normans who swooped down on peaceful cities, “like stinging wasps, scattered in all directions, like rabid wolves, killing animals and people, raped women and dragged them onto ships.” The hero of the novel “Having Normandy” was the Viking Rollo, who founded the state of Normandy in 911, which 150 years later became the strongest power in Europe, and its duke, William the Conqueror, captured and conquered England. About fate women in the 11th century - not as bad and difficult as it might seem at first glance, and no less fascinating than the story of Angelique - is told in another Olofson novel - “Emma, Queen of Two Kings.”
