Dull and Duller

"Dull and Duller" were two 9th century Norse brothers who aspired to be vikings. They claimed to be sons of Ragnar Lodbrok and modeled themselves after Ivarr the Boneless and Ubba Ragnarsson.

History

At some point during the invasion of the Heptarchy by the Great Heathen Army the brothers got together to practice raiding. After stashing some of their precious belongings in an abandoned farmstead, they devolved into arguing about setting it on fire at which the viking raider Eivor encountered them. Eivor, overhearing their argument, took the initiative light the building on fire prompting the two brothers now dubbed "Dull and Duller" to begin their mock raid. Unfortunately they could not break down the front door and had left the key locked inside forcing Eivor to find another means of entry. Once Eivor had gained entrance the brothers shouted locations where they might have left their mother's axe. After finding only the key, Eivor left the house to find that one of the brothers had forgot that he had removed the axe from the building prior to raid for safety reasons. Eivor disgusted with the whole event left the two brothers to their own devices.

Personalities

The two brothers were dumb, endangering both themselves and their possessions in an ill advised mock raid. However they were also rather self assured easily dismissing Eivor's criticism after the fact.
