[@natemarx4999]

Nothing better than watching a Dr. Crawford Norse lecture on 7:30 in the morning.

Always a great day when I get to listen to an incredibly well-known man recap and incredibly enrapturing saga :)

[@DaevaGlow]

This makes me so happy to hear your recap. :)

[@squirrel435]

This was a fun one.

Thanks for the video

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.

[@miro.georgiev97]

There's a film for this saga?

[@Spillerix]

@@miro.georgiev97 There is, in Icelandic with English subtitles: /watch?v=p7dCDo0da3Y

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

[@thecitizen49]

Thanks for the info. I'll forward Dr Crawford's take on it.@@sarahgray430

Never been this early to one of your vids. Epic!

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?
