Maybe you covered this in the first vid but did you see the Saga of Gisli film? In my opinion it's one of the best and probably the most historically accurate portrayal of Norse life of the era.
Your knowledge of old Norse history is outstanding, sir, so I'm wondering if there are any saga's or stories about Leif Ericson and the settlement at L"Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland. Thanks
What I don't understand is, why DID Icelanders write stories of themselves in their own language, but for example not the Dutch. Middle Dutch stories are, as far as I know, nearly all stories from France or England. Why?
Nothing better than watching a Dr. Crawford Norse lecture on 7:30 in the morning.
Im doing that right now, how strange.
This makes me so happy to hear your recap. :)
thank you Dr Crawford - looking forward to the next installment
Thank you, always a pleasure! Hugs & sunshine 🌞 N
Always a great day when I get to listen to an incredibly well-known man recap and incredibly enrapturing saga :)
This was a fun one.
Thanks for the video

There's a film for this saga?
@@miro.georgiev97 There is, in Icelandic with English subtitles: /watch?v=p7dCDo0da3Y
Never been this early to one of your vids. Epic!
