	Northvegr - Saxo's The History of the Danes
		Starkad then asked her if she had children; and when he was told that she had a female child, he told her to go home and give the breast to her squalling daughter; for he thought it most uncomely that he should borrow help from a woman of the lowest degree.
		Starkad praised his origin, and pronounced that his calling was also most worthy of honour; for, he said, such men sought a livelihood by honourable traffic in their labour, inasmuch as they knew not of any gain, save what they had earned by the sweat of their brow.
		Starkad, when he had been driven to the palace, heedless of the pain of his wounds, leaped swiftly out of the cart, and just like a man who was well from top to toe, burst into the bridal-chamber, shattering the doors with his fist.

		Starkad is wearing his uniform as sergeant of the Imperial Northern Guard of Byzaunce.
		Starkad likes to brag about the superiority of the northern warriors, but the true reason for the choice is 1) the northmen have no interest in the local intrigues that endanger every Emperor's life, they are only in it for the money and glory 2) the Emperor fancies tall, blonde and muscular men.
		Starkad's braids were cut off when he and Falk joined the People's Army of Biarmland (because long hair is counter-revolutionary, gets in your eyes and spreads lice).
