That was an unexpected little gem! I had been watching an American youtuber, talking about a brief history and heritage of the Island, and his name came up, so I did a quick search and clicked on your channel. I think the whole saga idea is definitely something I like as nothing else lasts longer than pen and ink. Easy to follow with lots of detail and colourful in more ways than one. Thankyou very much!

I appreciate this lecture very much. I'm the translator of Prof. Torgrim Titlestad's "Viking Legacy" (Norge i Vikingtid") and I found this video while researching my own next novel. This was helpful. My own take on the Thorfinn/Macbeth question is that if Thorfinn was the same person as Macbeth, then the saga is wrong about Thorfinn's death. It says Thorfinn died in bed, while we know Macbeth to have died in battle. I have a great deal of trouble believing that a saga writer would forget about a Viking hero dying in battle.
