Please do Leif Erikson next! I just finished re watching Vinland Saga and can't get enough of Viking history since
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.
Vindland Saga anyone?
Finally, an episode about the Vikings. I'll get my horn.
"Hey everybody! It's Leif Erikson Day! HINGA DINGA DURGEN!" Spongebob Squarepants
Please make a video on Haraald Haldrada, the greatest Viking who lived! He fought for the Russians and Byzantines like a Medieval John Wick and lead the last great Viking raid on England at Stamford's Bridge.
I always wondered why Vikings didn’t just go to Miami, Florida. Beaches, babes in bikinis, palm trees, nice and warm, cold beer. It just doesn’t make any sense. Why did they just go for ice and crazy seas?
Lets get some well wishes in the comments for Simon who has recently broken his collarbone <3
Born and raised in Newfoundland and I’ve actually visited That settlement it’s amazing and it honestly sparked my interest in history when i first saw it as a kid
He's who I'm named after! Shock twist: I named my son Leif.

Norsemen! I would love to see more of these Bios. So much information that is taught in school is utter BS.
"But for whatever reason Eric had his heart set on this mysterious western land..."
God Bless you Simon . I hope your collarbone heals back soon. People like you are hard to find and not easily replaced.
Shout out from here in Newfoundland 🇨🇦
Hey Simon great video. Consider doing one on Charles “The Hammer”Martel!!
"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.
Any video Simon does within the topic if Vikings and sagas makes my little Norwegian heart jump and sing with joy 🥰🥰
I highly recommend that you have a look at the Saga of Egil Skallagrimsson, it's a great saga and well worth doing a video about!
