Archaeologist and museum inspector Jeanette Varberg takes the audience on a journey through the Viking Age, one of the most fascinating periods in Danish history. The talk covers raids, power struggles, the roles of women in Viking society and the warriors behind the famous stories, moving from the fall of the Roman Empire to the First Crusade.
Recent discoveries from archaeological excavations are also part of the programme, showing how new finds keep reshaping our picture of the Vikings. Varberg is the author of several books on prehistory and received the Weekendavisen Literature Prize in 2019 for her work Viking.
