I can see the Suchet connection with Joseph during the Peninsula War; but I could have sworn that Berthier was also related in some such way ... But, it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong!

Question: Which important Scandinavian city had a major temple wherein the sexually ambiguous activities upset the macho hero of the following story described by the Dane Saxo Grammaticus (around the year 1200):

"Then Starkather entered Swedish territory where he spent seven years in a leisurely stay with the sons of Frey, after which he departed to join Haki, the lord of Denmark. For living in the city in the period of sacrifice, he became disgusted with the womanish body movements, the clatter of actors on the stage and the soft tinkling of bells."
