Step into the smoky longhouses, feast halls and stormy seas of the Viking Age with us.

In this episode, we uncover the real Viking world, from twelve-day feasts and fiery weddings to rune sticks with cheeky messages, and the surprising independence of Viking women.

Forget the horned helmet clichés. This is Viking life in all its colour: fierce, funny and deeply human.
