Arson in medieval Scandinavia

Arson in medieval Scandinavia was a technique sometimes employed in blood feuds and political conflicts in order to assassinate someone.

Typically the attackers would surround the house to prevent the escape of its inhabitants, although women, the elderly, and small children were sometimes allowed to leave.
