it's like this for anything set in the so-called "dark ages"
why is everyone covered in dirt?
why is the nobility dressed in drab rags?
why does everything look like it's already an antique?
why are they burning braziers and torches in the daytime?
why are they wearing swords on their back?
why aren't the soldiers wearing a helmet? WHERE ARE THE SPEARS????
MFW there's yet another tv show/movie about the Norse and it's yet another action adventure and not a courtroom drama period piece about an icelandic farmer who accidentally burned down his neighbors forest while making charcoal
Charcoal burners occupied a sort of low status in medieval Europe if I understand correctly. They were necessary, but existed at the fringes of society.

Women were invented in 1890 by Karl Marx
Karl Marx really is the Yakub of conservative mythology.
