I hope you all are having a great Juletide this December. Upon request I'll host a livestream today. I'll share with you some of the more interesting, new Viking research that has come out this month and also answer questions and maybe even invite some of you to join and say hello:)

Hope to see you today at 4PM EST - 10PM CET

Skål from Sturla
