Vikings in France. Here's an often ignored topic for historical discussion. In this special episode, we try to remedy to that situation. I say "we" because we have a guest on this one, historian and author Christophe Adrien, specialist on the Viking world and especially their role in Brittany.
Join us as we discuss Vikings, Franks, longships, silver and salt!
Listen to Passed, the podcast about those who would never rule.
