A dead enemy’s tooth killed this Viking conqueror #Shorts

He didn’t win with forty men. He won by cheating the count.

Then the story took a grotesque turn. Sigurd tied his enemy’s severed head to his saddle as a trophy. During the ride, one tooth scraped his leg. A tiny cut turned into a fatal infection, and the man who outsmarted the battlefield was killed by a dead man’s mouth.
