Explore the fascinating daily life of Vikings, whether you were a farmer named Snorri or a warrior named Erik. Discover the unique blend of farming, communal living, and cultural practices that defined Viking existence. From their meat-filled diets and chess-playing habits to the occasional human sacrifices, this episode delves into what it was really like to be a Viking. While sea voyages and conquests were part of their story, much of their life was rooted deeply at home, forming the backbone of Norse culture. Both men and women played distinct roles: men engaged in farming and feasting in chieftain longhouses, while women managed domestic affairs and had rights, including the possibility of divorce.
