Gone Medieval
00:00
Introduction
To day, we're going back to the viking age again and talk about the fact that the vikings not only traveld through some pretty inhospitable places with fairly extreme winters. I've invited mediaevalis james macmullan to tell me more because he has a background not just in museum studies, but also in mediaeval icelandic. He has insight into what the saga literature can tell us about this topic. We have now its such a brilliant time of year to talk about winter and what it was like in parts of the worldand i'm especially interested in this north atlantic region.
