In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Sturlung Age, a brutal 60-year period of civil war that tore apart the Icelandic Commonwealth in the 13th century. They focus on the rise and fall of Sturla Sighvatsson, a chieftain who tried to unite Iceland under his family's rule, only to meet a bloody end at the Battle of Örlygsstaðir in 1238 — the largest battle ever fought in Iceland. The conversation covers the power struggles among the goðar (chieftains), the role of the Norwegian king Hákon Hákonarson in stoking conflict, and the eventual submission to Norwegian rule via the Gamli sáttmáli (Old Covenant) in 1262. They also discuss the historical sources like Íslendinga saga by Sturla Þórðarson, and the shift from a fragmented commonwealth to a tributary state. The episode concludes with reflections on how this period shaped Icelandic identity and the memory of lost independence. #SturlungAge #IcelandicCivilWar #SturlaSighvatsson #Örlygsstaðir #GamliSáttmáli #HákonHákonarson #Goðar #ÍslendingaSaga #SturlaÞórðarson #IcelandicCommonwealth #MedievalIceland #Althing #SnorriSturluson #Þingvellir #NordicHistory #13thCentury #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
