Viking Queens of Oseberg
In this episode, we take a look one of the most influential finds in Viking archaeology; the 1904 discovery of the remnants of an incredible royal burial within the Oseberg Ship. We explore how the excavation rewrote understandings of Viking history and sparked many fascinating theories about who the entombed really were.
