  Read where the Hegseth name origin is Norwegian or Scandanavian. Could be he has some Viking blood running thru those veins!!

  Yes, I have read that same account.  In fact, much of those hailing from Scotland and Ireland have Viking blood.  The Norweigans started raiding       
   Scotland in the late 700s AD (island of Iona) followed with Ireland, and Norse settling continued through the 1200s.  Some suspect the red haired
   Scots and Irish, owe their carrot-top locks to this origin.

  England received it's Scandanavian influence from the invasion by William of Normandy in 1066, when William defeated the Anglo-Saxon king Harold
   at Hastings.

  If you Google up the town of BATTLE in England, you will find the actual spot where Harold's defeat and death took place, after William landed
  his army at Hastings..
