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.

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.

Now an accomplished inventor, former NASA rocket scientist, deep sea robotics, and submarine explorer, he is now navigating the new Phygital realms connecting the physical and digital.

In the past 50 years, significant progress has been made in mapping and understanding Scandinavia during the Viking Age. Archaeologists and historians have carefully studied various sources, such as ancient postholes and thousand-year-old grape seeds, in their efforts to uncover the truth about the Viking world. This work is crucial because the Vikings did not document their history, and what we know is based on exaggerated accounts from monks and sagas. However, with the help of patience and modern technology, researchers are slowly piecing together the puzzle.
