The Forgotten Vikings with Alex Harvey

Alex’s new book aims to explore the

phenomenon of ‘the Vikings’ from new angles,

forged out of recent academic breakthroughs

largely unexplored in popular history

books; the Viking Age viewed as a longer,

discrete period from the sixth to the

fifteenth centuries.

Focusing on lesser-known aspects of the

period, he taps into more obscure regions

of the world these people visited, more

obscure characters, and more obscure

cultural elements.

Alex is a postgraduate history student

at the University of York with a focus

on Scandinavian York and will be in

conversation with Peter Jackson who

kindly hosted Dan Jones for us recently.
