The Vikings

The Vikings in Medieval History

Documentary Oct 3, 2005 30 min The Great Courses Signature Collection

Available on Prime Video, The Great Courses Signature Collection

S1 E1: Hostile Christian sources demonize the Vikings; Muslim accounts render them exotic; and recent revisionist historians downplay the impact of Norse raids. Archeological finds such as ship burials, coin hoards, and human remains, combined with close study of the Norse sagas of Iceland, can enrich and balance our understanding of Scandinavia's place in medieval history.
