Neither, to be honest. If I tell you what it really is, you would probably be disappointed :)

(To be fair, most vikings where traders, not pillagers. But they all valued a place to sit, preferably with a view )

It is heredatary from the time of the old viking and their long ships. The most important place on the boat was after all the bench, not just for the rowing, but also to take a break from all that pillaging

Thank you. I used my phone for a change, and was pleasantly surprised 👍
