Since the thread is now back on topic (stupid twat, I am the most jaded person here, no need for amateur explicits, there is a time for anything and the EB forum is not for such amateurish spoutings. I guess he was drunk).

Tacitus says, "In the day of battle, it is scandalous to the Prince to be surpassed in
feats of bravery, scandalous to his followers to fail in matching the
bravery of the Prince. But it is infamy during life, and indelible
reproach, to return alive from a battle where their Prince was slain.
To preserve their Prince, to defend him, and to ascribe to his glory all
their own valorous deeds, is the sum and most sacred part of their oath.
The Princes fight for victory; for the Prince his followers fight."

So Dugunz does play it right.

Archeology tells us that this was mostly the case in the west part of Germania, including Jutland. While in the eastern parts the warrior role was not as important, including Sjælland.
