In real life Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus was nicknamed "[[TheCaligula Caligula]]'' after the caliga (soldier's boots) Gaius wore as a child. So young Gaius was the cutesy nickname Caligula (Little Boots) after the miniature soldier's boots he wore. Which is now associated with a bloody, decadent and insane tyrant. Considering Hiccup's many deeds as the Hero of Berk, many game-changing inventions and stratagems and accomplishments, Hiccup will probably have different connotation. Hiccup will probably be a shorthand name for a really smart person like "Einstein" with the fun fact that it once meant air bubble that got trapped in diaphragm.

[[WMG: Sigurd's relationship with his father will be one of the most closely-examined parent-child relationships in the future]]
Sigurd is a huge world player now because he's the one that introduced tamed dragons to the Byzantines while breaking Berk's monopoly on tamed dragons and through him is the one that inspired Drago to try taming dragons, introducing tamed dragons to the Pechenegs. Sigurd had a major impact on history and his personality and motivations are because of his father. In the present, people have already called out Spitelout, multiple times, for his role in Sigurd leaving Berk.

In Chapter 99, it is established that nobles are willing to marry/concubine into the Hooligan Tribe, and Snitwit, being Hiccup's cousin in an era where [[ThickerThanWater kinship ties]] are treated seriously, would be a highly attractive target for a marriage alliance.

The same thing will apply to Snotpout who is also Hiccup's cousin.

[[WMG: After the wedding for Hiccup, Astrid and Wulfhild, Hiccup will give Wulfhild a morning gift that matches what he gave Astrid's in incredibility]]
Possibilities:
* A large assortment of standard weapons for the era like what Astrid got, but made out of steel.
* Full legal authority over the Dragon Mail the way Astrid has full legal authority over the Haddock Flock of Dragons.
* The best bow Hiccup could forge to match the flaming axe he gave Astrid.

[[WMG: The Allied Clans of Berk will officially become nobles within the course of the story, perhaps after Stoick admits he is a King]]
For all practical intents and purposes, they are already nobles in all but name, being wealthier and more powerful than nearly every noble from everywhere else, and we know from the epigraphs that they eventually become official noble houses. Already in the current story, several nobles have married/concubined in, wanting family ties to ''the'' rising power of the current time.

[[WMG: Spitelout's letter was intercepted by Kormak or whoever he works for]]
In Chapter 96, Sigurd gets upset at his father for seemingly trying to cut him out of his life, but attentive readers noted that Spitelout ''is'' trying to reach out to him. Fishwings told Spitelout in Chapter 94 that she delivered her packages to the Byzantine post offices, so what happened to the letter after that? The only explanation is that it was intercepted and Kormak and his patron make good suspects.
