It was a lot of fun (even if I talked a little too fast sometimes)! To clarify a piece that I know I did cover too briefly &mdash; missionary trips to Scandinavia occurred in Denmark around 823, on the orders of Louis the Pious, and in Sweden in 829, when Ansgar, a Frankish monk, traveled to the town of Birka, where he found a very small Christian community, probably mostly enslaved or formerly enslaved people, and converted a couple of Norse people, including the town prefect. (The graveyard for that town, incidentally, is where the 10th century &#8220;female warrior&#8221; that made waves a few years ago was buried).<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot we didn&#8217;t get a chance to talk about about the diaspora and its ending, so if there&#8217;s anything you all are curious on or find unclear, let me know here or on twitter \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Finally, if you liked this, all the VODs for my personal streams (where I try to ramble about history in games) can be found by clicking on my name, and tomorrow I&#8217;ll be streaming CKIII on twitch (link in the description)! <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overly Sarcastic Productions Published 4 Sep 2020 The Vikings are enjoying a new wave of enthusiasm in popular culture, but these seafaring Norsemen are still quite clearly a misunderstood force in medieval European history.
