Being hung like a Norse was key to social hierarchy and being

new paper, "Size Matters: Penile Problems in Sagas of Icelanders," presented to the International Medieval Congress in Leeds n 2004.
To complicate matters further, it was as unmanly to have an outsized penis as an undersized one.
In the 13th-century Njal's Saga, the warrior Hrutr Herjolfsson is cursed
by a jealous queen with an erection too big for intercourse with his
bride.
