Museum curator, archaeologist and author Jeanette Varberg takes a fresh look at the Viking Age and the mark the Vikings left on Europe through raids, trade, power struggles, battles and conquests.
The talk covers often overlooked sides of the period, including the key roles women played, other trades such as the skald, the significance of slavery, and the relationship between Viking beliefs and Christianity. Varberg has written about the Vikings in both history and thriller books.
The event is part of the Historieklubben series at Brønshøj Library and is open to everyone with a ticket. It is also part of the Vild med videnskab festival, which presents science for adults across Copenhagen's libraries in October and November.
