BBC Documentaries - The Viking Sagas

Seizoen: 2011 - Aflevering: 93 / 1467 - Eerst uitgezonden: 10 mei 2011 - Episode ID: 560620

Hundreds of years ago in faraway Iceland the Vikings began to write down dozens of stories called sagas - sweeping narratives based on real people and real events. But as Oxford University's Janina Ramirez discovers, these sagas are not just great works of art, they are also priceless historical documents which bring to life the Viking world. Dr. Ramirez travels across glaciers and through the lava fields of Iceland to the far north-west of the country to find out about one of the most compelling of these stories - the Laxdœla Saga.
