LGBTQ+ Vikings?
Jun 05, 2023

In this episode Miranda and Lucas chat about LGBTQ+ Viking history, discussing the clues and pieces of evidence found within saga literature. Very little written evidence survives from the Viking age, but through some saga literature we can find some hints regarding Viking age attitudes towards sexuality and gender.

Barley Hall - a medieval townhouse owned by JORVIK Group - will be hosting a series of events celebrating LGBTQ+ history for Pride Month.

A list of the events can found the Barley Hall website.

Listen and enjoy, and please consider leaving us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen!
