The Vikings are Coming!
🕑 Added 2020-12-21 19:27:50 +0000 UTCDear Patrons,
Time to reveal a top secret project that I've been working on for the last few weeks. Later this week I'll be releasing a video that I've made in collaboration with historian Prof. Tom Shippey, whose excellent book 'Laughing Shall I Die - Lives & Death of the Great Vikings' I read in 2018, and have been wanting to make a video about ever since.
In this video, we're going to examine five 'great deaths' from the Viking sagas, and unpack them to see what they can tell us about 'the Viking mindset'. Hopefully you'll find this topic as dramatic and fascinating as I did when I read Tom's book. The video will feature a detailed interview with Tom himself, as well as original artwork, and some cool maps.
I'm working hard to get this video to you by Christmas, but it will be a close run thing... More updates soon.
(Normal Napoleon service will resume in 2021!)
Thank you again for your brilliant support!

Very excited for this and very glad you feel comfortable branching out into more arenas of history. Maybe you can cover the Eastern Romans and Basil the Bulgar Slayer someday. ;)
