Jahrhundertelang fegte ein Feuer durch Europa. Es brannte unaufhörlich und zwang Nationen und Königreiche in die Knie – dieses Feuer kam aus dem Norden. Aufgrund einer Reihe soziopolitischer Auslöser brachen die Wikinger aus ihren nordischen Heimatländern in Skandinavien auf und durchzogen die Reiche Europas in alle Himmelsrichtungen – nach Süden, Osten, Westen und Norden. Meisterhaft beherrschten sie die Navigation der Ozeane und dominierten die Flusswege. Auf ihren schnellen Langschiffen schrieben diese unbarmherzigen Nordmänner ein völlig neues Kapitel europäischer Geschichte.

Nur wenige haben nicht von den furchterregenden Wikingern und ihren waghalsigen Abenteuern gehört. Diese nördlichen Seefahrer, das Schrecken des Mittelalters, prägten die Weltgeschichte auf beeindruckende Weise. Mutig, trotzig und getrieben vom Wunsch nach Entdeckung waren die Nordmänner die gefürchtetsten aller mittelalterlichen Eroberer. Viele hielten sie für unbesiegbar, und sie hielten viele christliche Nationen in ihrem Griff. Von Schottland, England, Frankreich und Irland bis zu den Küsten Spaniens und der Ostsee hinterließen die Wikinger unauslöschliche Spuren.

En levende fortælling om et helt særligt kapitel af den dansk-grønlandske historie.I 1728-1731 søgte den danske konge, Frederik 4., at sætte skub i koloniseringen af Grønland med en stort anlagt ekspedition, der én gang for alle skulle sikre det danske riges dominans over det enorme land. Der skulle bygges nye kolonier for at få kontrol over den grønlandske befolkning, der skulle rejses et fort til skræk og advarsel for konkurrerende nationer, og en europæisk kolonibefolkning skulle grundlægges.

In May 1972, Liese Greensfelder arrived in the small Norwegian town of Øystese to startling news: Johannes, the farmer who hired her for the summer, had just been hospitalized after a stroke. Could she please watch over his place for a month or so, until he got back on his feet? Twenty years old and with no farming experience, Liese was dropped off the next day at a centuries-old mountain farm at the end of a dirt road high above the magnificent Hardanger Fjord—with 115 sheep, two cows, one calf, a draft horse, and a Norwegian herding dog to care for.

Det var tidigt sjuttiotal. En politisk tid. Unga entusiastiska journalister ägnade sig åt att gräva i statens hemligheter och avslöjade en spionorganisation som inte ens riksdagen kände till. Det ledde till en våldsam konfrontation. Staten slog tillbaka med polisrazzior och fängelsestraff. Många minns skriverierna runt IB-affären. Men vad var det egentligen som hände? Hade maktens män skäl att slå till så oerhört hårt? Var rikets säkerhet verkligen i fara? Eller handlade det om rent förtryck av det fria ordet? Som så ofta är fallet överträffar sanningen dikten.

1920-talet beskrevs massmedierna som demokratins dödgrävare. Där spreds hat, lögner och propaganda snabbare än någonsin tidigare i historien. I detta hav av information skulle folk inte klara av att skilja sant från falskt, utan följa den som väckte starkast känslor. På 2020-talet beskrivs de sociala medierna likadant.

Häxprocessernas tid är en oerhört omskriven epok och fortsätter att fascinera. Men allt är inte som vi förletts att tro. Vår bild av händelserna har blivit mer myt och politisk saga än verklighet. Och häxjakten är förvisso den märkligaste följden av Karl IX:s bibliska lag, men antalet dödsoffer överskuggades vida av de som fick sätta livet till för andra sedlighetsbrott, såsom tidelag och barnamord.

In contrast to their Danish and Norwegian cousins, Swedish Vikings traveled east rather than west in search of riches, land, and power.

Vikingstock is about more than blond hair, blue-eyed Norwegians. It is about more than braided-beards and manbuns. So much of popular culture has turned everything Viking into a trope; from superheroes to TV series but Norse heritage is often shrouded in all of this minutiae. Vikingstock finally breaks through all the misinformation and shows the Norse/Vikings and by extension, the Russian Vikings for what they really were and what they have become.

The Vikings and sainthood are not concepts normally found side by side. But Norway’s King Olaf II Haraldsson (c. 995-1030) embodied both to an extraordinary degree. As a battle-eager teenager he almost single-handedly pulled down London Bridge (as in the nursery rhyme) and took part in many other Viking raids. Olaf lacked none of the traditional Viking qualities of toughness and audacity, yet his routine baptism grew into a burning missionary faith that was all the more remarkable for being combined with his typically Viking determination and energy—and sometimes ruthlessness as well.
