You are quite the storyteller and comedian y'know. The way you tell us about how comedically different our moral considerations are about plundering made me laugh quite a bit.
You should do some episodes about each Scandinavian language, why the other Scandinavian languages developed so quickly from old norse. Great videos by the way!
One detail I'm surprised you didn't mention is that Gunnhild's assassin killed Thorolf's man inside a temple, and because of this was immediately sentenced to full outlawry.
if anyone’s watched The Last Kingdom, the books that the show was based on feature Egil and his brother (and a third, fictional brother) towards the end of the series they also participate in the Battle of Brunanburh alongside Æthelstan and the series’ protagonist Uhtred of Bebbanburg, and Thorolf’s death is shown similarly to how it’s described in the saga
Interesting that you refer to the poem that Egill recited regarding the death of his brother as "pointedly emotional." I've worked with Sonna Torrek (the poem he composed for the death of his sons,) and would have said exactly the same regarding that one. There's no doubt that Egill expresses his grief very well.
Even in my army days we did not have parties where people were slain for cheating at drinking games so I'm now wondering what you do at campuses in the US, especially Colorado. Maybe it's still the Wild West?
Well, we see here one instance of a Norseman referring to his band of Warriors as Vikings. I wonder how many others there are in the Sagas and was this common or something of a kenning?
@Jackson Crawford can you do a translation of the poëm used in Heilungs 'krigsgaldr'? that would be ace! It goes like: Min warb naseu Wilr made thaim I bormotha hauni Hu war (hu war) Hu war opkam har a hit lot Got nafiskr orf Auim suimade Foki afa galande Hu war (hu war) Hu war opkam har a hit lot

Þetta er skemmtilegt að hlýða á. Haf þú mikla þökk fyrir.
Vikings go to war and a poetry slam breaks out. (Impatient warriors standing in the background waiting.)
Aki is quite popular male's name in Finland :)

Can you translate some of the songs by the band heilung?
Imagine if HBO had made this, Laxdøla or Njal's Saga, true to the source, instead of the garbage they made.

It goes like:
Min warb naseu
Wilr made thaim
I bormotha hauni
Hu war (hu war)
Hu war opkam har a hit lot
Got nafiskr orf
Auim suimade
Foki afa galande
Hu war (hu war)
Hu war opkam har a hit lot

So, Egill is basically Viking Deadpool?
Sort of, you should also look up Ref the Sly too. That story's antics also is Deadpool-like.
ah great
Egill is such a brat but I'm enjoying this
