In this episode we follow the Norse raiders who attacked much of Western Europe from about the ninth to the eleventh centuries. What made the such a threat and how did rulers of Europe respond to them. We are joined by Danielle Turner, a historian who specializes in the Vikings and the author of the featured article in the latest issue of Medieval Warfare - 'The Viking Sieges of Paris: Brilliant Warfare or Pragmatic Decision?'
There are hundreds, if not thousands of historians who research and write about wars, battles, and the military of the Middle Ages. Why do we want to do this, and what is it that we think the world should know about medieval military history. Our guests for today are: Daniel Franke is assistant professor of history at Richard Bland College of William and Mary in Petersburg, Virginia, and award-winning professor and writer, Michael Livingston.
Coming soon, the Medieval Warfare Magazine Podcast. Every few weeks Peter Konieczny, editor of Medieval Warfare magazine, talks to historians to discuss some of the topics and issues around the subject of warfare in the middle ages.
