Epic History TV - Season 6 Episode 10
In AD 793, Vikings from Scandinavia began raiding Europe, striking fear with their sudden attacks, exemplified by the Lindisfarne raid. For 300 years, they terrorized and conquered, leveraging their naval prowess. Professor Tom Shippey explores the "Viking mindset" through their sagas, highlighting a fascination with death and a dark humor. Key figures like Ragnar Lodbrok, whose legendary death motivated his sons' vengeance, and King Hrolf, whose hall's discovery supports saga authenticity, illustrate this mindset. The sagas, though often fictional, reflect real cultural attitudes towards death and humor, seen in battles like Stamford Bridge where Harald Hardrada's poetic defiance marked the Viking era's end, leading to William the Conqueror's reign in England. This period showcases Vikings not just as warriors but as bearers of a unique cultural identity, blending bravery with a grim, humorous outlook on life and death.
