How Big Was Denmark in the Viking Age? (2018x60)

Ausstrahlung: Dez 10, 2018

The Viking Age was born in Denmark, with many of the raids in England, Northern France and Spain originating in the warbands of Danish petty kings. However when we talk about "Denmark" during this time, it's worth noting that we don't mean the same thing as that which we mean today.
