Origins of the Normans

A thousand years ago, a group of barbarian pirates fought their way into becoming one of the most powerful clans in all Europe


1100 years ago, the power of the Normans stretched from the British Isles to the Mediterranean. They had become one of the most powerful clans in Europe. Yet their recent ancestors were lowly pagan vikings. In this episode, we go over the swashbuckling history of the Normans to figure how a group of barbarian pirates were able to fight for their seat at the table of European politics and leave their unique mark on world history.

Hosted by Liam, Russian Sam, and Halal Sam.
