The only thing that I vaguely remember about the story of Greenland's colonization was that tidbit about Erik lying to people and overselling Greenland's habitability. It's great to hear the story in more detail and realize that there was actually a real thriving settlement there with actual green land rather than the whole "he sold them icy hellscapes" narrative that is all over the place.

"The council of fools is all the more dangerous the more of them there are." -- Bjarni Herjolfsson, discoverer of the North American Continent cir 985 A.D.

[@daneaxe6465]

That's one of my favorite quotes. The back story>> He was sailing back to Iceland when the boat(s) were socked in by dense fog. IIRC they were fogged in several days. When the fog started to clear the crew got into a discussion which direction they should go. It ended up being a "fight" between the crew and the navigator. So he decided the navigator knew best and ordered them to follow his directions. They made it safely to Iceland. I imagine the quote was formed soon after reaching Iceland. Obviously a huge dig at the crew members who would've gotten them all killed if they'd traveled their desire (and wrong) direction.

[@Orphen42O]

Some Europeans in the Middle Ages came to Greenland to find the homes abandoned but wild sheep and goats wandering around. If there were enough domestic animals left to propagate wild herds, the homeowners probably did not starve to death. If there was an epidemic or a raid, wouldn't there be some skeletons lying around because there wasn't anyone left to bury them? What about the hunting dogs? Were they found in wild packs because their owners vanished? Did the settlers have horses-- if so, was their any evidence of what happened to them? If houses made of wood were left standing, I would find that odd because if the Vikings left intentionally, wouldn't they have dismantled the houses to use the priceless timbers to repair or build ships?

Eamon DeValera (1882-1975) - prominent political leader in 20th century Ireland who, after the Irish war of independence from 1919 to 1921, was in the public eye for over forty years from 1922 until his death were he served as head of government (Taoiseach/prime minister) and head of state (president). He was nearly executed in the Easter Rising in 1916 and was key in putting into place the new constitution on 1937. A very prominent Irish figure and one of the most important in Irish history.

He is one of the most important historical figures in Irish history. Prince Phillip, The Duke of Edinburgh (1921-2021) - husband and consort to Queen Elizabeth who served in the navy as a young man, serving in the Second World War.

Andrew Cunanan (1969-1997) - spree killer responsible for five murders before his suicide via gunshot. His victims include Gianna Versace and Lee Miglin. Lee Miglin (1924-1997) - American business tycoon, real estate developer and philanthropist who was spree killer, Andrew Cunanan’s third murder victim. “The Count of Saint Germain” (1691 or 1712 -died 1784) - European Adventurer who achieved prominence in high society in the 1700’s.

She was a keen sword fighter, cross-dressed and tried to run away with a female lover after killing a man in a duel. She died at the age of 33. Past American presidents, British prime ministers, monarchs and Roman emperors would be good as well.

Achilles and Hector are fictional characters though the city of Troy does exist so perhaps he could do an episode about Troy and cover the Iliad on the Geographics channel.

[@Amy_the_Lizard]

Considering that killing the thralls made them completely unusable rather than just some minor aesthetic damage like scratching a car, I'd say the situation would have been closer to killing your neighbor becaus he completely destroyed your car after you accidentally knocked over his mailbox with it. It would have still been seen as an overreaction, but not quite as much of an overreaction as killing someone over a car scratch would be

[@Amy_the_Lizard]

Actually, since the thralls WERE alive - albiet still seen as property - you could also make a case that it could be comperable to killing your neighbor because he killed all of your backyard chickens, or possibly even all your dogs (people are generally pretty friendly with their dogs, and I'm not sure how friendly ye olde Norse people generally were with their slaves...)

One reason the Norse colonies on Greenland perished is that the Medieval Warm Period came to an end. To survive they would've had to adopt Inuit style cultural practices or at least a stable colony on forested shores that would reliably send timber if Norway forgot them as apparently it did. The Little Ice Age came.

[@veronicajensen7690]

today historians lean towards the fact that whale tusk they have been trading was not as popular anymore since the discovery of Ivory, they can see the young people left Greenland first, the same ting happen in modern day , if there are not work the young people leave , historians used to think the Vikings didn't eat fish and when there were more ice they could not have cattle or get cattle from Iceland and Norway, now we know the Viking in Greenland did actually eat fish
