In this episode, Daniel and Mathias are talking about Flóki. According to legend, Flóki followed a raven to Iceland and built a settlement there. Unfortunately, his settlement failed, but he did end up being responsible for naming the country "Iceland." In HBO's show "Vikings," Flóki is an important character who is responsible for inventing Viking ships, and largely functions as Ragnar Lothbrok's right-hand man. As a trickster figure in Vikings, many aspects of Flóki's story are directly inspired by Old Norse myths about Loki.

In this episode, Daniel and Mathias talk about Rollo, the founder of the duchy of Normandy. They depart from the fictional Rollo in the show "Vikings" and move on to discussing the historical individual who actually did exist. We embark on a journey through the various sources that were written in the medieval period about a Nordic Viking warrior named Hrólfr or Hrollaugr, who succeeded in establishing a Nordic colony on the French coast. Did he come from Denmark, as the early historical sources suggest, or did he come from Norway, as later historical sources and the much later Icelandic sagas say? Listen and find the answers to all of your questions!

In this episode, Daniel and Mathias talk about the Viking jól or yule celebration. What was it? Did it even exist? And did they actually celebrate the solstice?
