Nah, the Swedes here make sure the Norwegians learn about him, too, if only to rub their Norsky noses in it. :lol2:

Hey, some of us have actually read the Sagas!

There is no mention in them (that I recall) of bringing anyone back from Vineland.

Of course, that kind of detail might slip under the radar screen, or the longboat, so to speak.
