Ya’ll Edmund Ironside might just be the "Miklagaard”/Greece for us Vinland Saga shippers - Canute fought him for six months, legit kissed the guy in 1016, and co-ruled England with him for a month before Edmund died due to ‘mysterious circumstances’ they referred to each other as ‘pledged partners’

Canute then draped a cape of peacock feathers over his tomb on the anniversary of his death in 1017.

Then in 1020 Canute builds Abbey of St Edmund which becomes the biggest Romanesque church in Northern Europe at the time.

And it turns out in 1032 three years before Canute dies on the anniversary of Edmund’s death, again, he moves Edmund’s remains to his family gravesite where he aims to get buried himself. 

He’s still pretty if you ask me, but then again I am such a biased person to ask cause I am honestly obsessed with the bastard. Yukimura keeps his long lashes and facial shape, so if you edit off the beard and drew longer hair on top of him he’d look like prologue Canute pretty much - just with the added scar. 

The guy doesn’t even get buffer or taller, he just hides his scrawniness underneath bulky capes.
