Hello and welcome to the History of Vikings. Before I introduce today's guest,

I have two important things to tell you. First being, if you would be sure to write me a review, that would be greatly appreciated,

because the more reviews the show gets, the easier it is for people to find.

You can always feel free to contact me via my email address, which is Noah at the History of Vikings.com,

and I would be delighted to hear from you.

Today I'm joined by a very special guest,

and she is the professor of medieval European literature

at the University of Oxford,

an official fellow and tutor at St. John's College.

Her recent books include,

Winter is Coming,

the medieval world of Game of Thrones,

as well as her translation of the poetic edda.

Professor Caroline Larrington, thank you so much for joining me today.

Yeah, hi, no, it's great to be here and it's great to be back on the show again.

Yeah, well, I'm certainly very excited to have you, and I know your last interview, I got a lot of great feedback on that,

and a lot of people really enjoyed our discussion.
