⚔ The everyday words that the Vikings gave us.
Why they stopped us confusing our eyes and our eggs.
The Old Norse place names that are still around.
The names for people that come from Old Norse.
The days of the week that we get from the Vikings.
⚧ How the Vikings are changing gender politics.

...and loads more!
