How Eric Bloodaxe Got Into Valhalla

After an introduction on the sources and exploits of Eric Bloodaxe, king in Norway for a brief period of time in the 10th century, we'll be reading and discussing a fascinating poem about how he is greeted in Valhalla. The poem Eiriksmal probably ordered by his wife Gunnhild is one of the important sources on the Norse afterlife besides the classical Eddas.
On this channel you will find quality information on Norse topics discussed by a historian - and not just information, but also problems, challenges, potential theories and educated guesses. I put a lot of effort and passion into it, hoping to turn RUclips into a part-time kick some day.
