Raid 2: Northmen, Danes, and Swedes
The ‘Viking’ homeland was more diverse than you’d think—but of course we’re going to start with the classics: Northmen (aka Norwegians), Danes, and Swedes. We’ll cover their Old Norse names, the regions where each group primarily lived, and even talk about their natural resources and how they survived/shaped their cultural identities in their respective environments (from farming to animal husbandry).
For most of the raid, we’ll break away from the traditional lecture-style approach to go through a digital map together, which you can explore for yourself here: fjorntheskald.com/digital-maps
Key Moments:
