Marvellous! He's so right about Scandinavian history. We know practically nothing although UK history is intertwined with theirs. Looking forward to next week's episode.

I had no idea about all that history. Very interesting

the history of the world timeline is really interesting when you start to realise all the concurrent events, but of course we can't be taught it all. I find in amazing ( but completely obvious really) that the 'eras' we know - Victorian, Tudor, etc., are not what anyone else knows them as. I mean, they had their own stuff going on of course!
