Maybe thinking that dying with your weapon in your hand got you into heaven gave them some extra oomph. Shortly after that, they knew the error of their beliefs. They really shouldn't have killed all those priests.
They should’ve let the priests rape their sons, and sacrificed all they worked for to enrich the coffers of the monasteries? Let the pederasts in the church guide their leaders? Given a choice I’d take Northern European paganism over Catholicism 10 out of 10 times.
