Fuckin’ Vikings - Vikings and the Birth of England ~ Alexander Articles

From the shadows of antiquity, the last vestiges of ancient pagan tribalism lashes out from Scandinavia to reshape the world. In the desperate power struggles of Medieval England, the Anglo-Saxons find themselves utterly unprepared for the arrival of an army of viking invaders. Their struggle for overlordship will reshape the face of the British Isles and set the stage for the birth of modern England. Join Tim and Derek as we explore this dramatic period, from the burning of Lindisfarne, to the adventures of Ragnar, to the war of the Great Heathen Army and the political and demographic legacy it left behind.

Rules

1. Every time Derek says "this might have happened" - sip
2. Longboats mentioned - three sips
3. Every time someone pays a viking to not do something, and that viking turns around and does that thing - shot
