Stories of Arson as Homicide in Medieval Scandinavia

from Criminalia · host Shondaland Audio and iHeartPodcasts

In Old Icelandic,'hús-brenna' means 'house burning', and it was a form of homicide by arson used to settle a vendetta, and sometimes used during political conflicts in medieval Scandinavia. Its sole purpose, make no mistake, was assassination. And it's terrifying.
