Christianity first began to be generally diffused in
the North about 900 years ago. Up to that time, the
people of the North were mere heathens, who acknow
lodged a religion which chiefly excited them to conflict°
and to deeds of arms. They believed that those heroct
alone who fell in the field would go to Odin, the god °L
the brave, or enter into Valhalla, the abode of thl
blessed. Here they would pass their time in jof. °'°,

contended in a forest before Valhallah, until they le
beneath each others' blows, but towards evening they
came to life again and rode back again to Valhalla.
Wearied with the fight, they refreshed themselves here
