The blood eagle was a method of execution, that is sometimes mentioned in Nordic saga legends. It was performed by cutting the skin of the victim by the spine, breaking the ribs so they resembled blood-stained wings, and pulling the lungs out through the wounds in the victims back. Salt was sprinkled in the wounds. The victims had to suffer in silence if they wanted to reach Valhalla. One scream and they were condemned to never feast with the gods.
