Between the eighth and eleventh centuries, the Vikings surged from their Scandinavian homeland to trade, raid and invade along the coasts of Europe. Their influence and expeditions extended from Newfoundland to Baghdad, their battles were as far-flung as Africa and the Arctic. But were they great seafarers or desperate outcasts, noble heathens or oafish pirates, the last pagans or the first of the modern Europeans?

Iceland's history is a saga of survival on the edge of the Arctic, where volcanic fire meets glacial ice and a fiercely independent people forged a unique identity.

This show traces how Scandinavian chieftains like Ragnar Lothbrok, Harald Bluetooth, and Cnut the Great founded dynasties, established trade hubs like Hedeby and Birka, and left a genetic and linguistic legacy from Dublin to ...

Story0
Viking London is a short book of the hidden history, archaeology and folklore of London in the Viking Age and its echoes through history. The narrative history that can be told is limited, and this book is, therefore, unorthodox and digressive in its structure and its layering of voices, impressions and characters, stories, objects and buildings.
