The Silly History Boys / Episode #05

Viking Cruises (no not that one); A Norse Trilogy of Voyages

Dear listener! This is the FIRST EVER show by the Silly Boys, recorded deep in Lockdown.

All aboard for a voyage to strange and distant lands, first contact with new civilisations and bickering upon the high seas of history. In this episode you’ll hear The True Saga of Leif Erikson the Norse Sea Captain who reached America long before Columbus! Then it's the tale of Harald 'hard as nails' Hardrada! Ace bodyguard to several dead Emperors and 'almost' King of large areas of Northern Europe! Then let Odin the Allfather close out with a journey through the nine realms of Viking myth. Giant high jinx, annoying talking squirrels and huge world trees prove that Viking legends are all fun and games...Until someone loses an eye...
