The Hey guys, welcome to the history of Vikings.

Before we begin today's show, I have a very exciting piece of news to share with you,

and that is that the History of Vikings podcast is now proudly sponsored by a company known as the Froggy Viking. They make

beautiful hand-carved drinking horns, and I encourage you to check out their website, thefroggyviking.com,

as I would love to hear your feedback, and the more reviews the show gets, the easier it is for people to find.

Also, you can always feel free to contact me with any questions, episode ideas, or Viking-related guests that you think I should have on the show.

My email is Noah at the History of Vikings.com.
