This page will be used to post occasional tidbits on the Viking Age, including on its less-than-academic side. Student contributions are heartily welcomed -- please e-mail me anything you find entertaining. Contributions in all media are acceptable (as long as I can figure out how to upload them to the website), for example:
I hope to receive enough contributions to be able to update this section of the website on a weekly basis, posting the best offering received. Students who contribute items to this page will receive bonus credit.
This webpage is set up solely for nonprofit educational purposes. I make no revenue, nor do I intend to promote any artists. The images and links posted here are publicly available for a limited time only, typically about one week; they then go into a password-protected archive, only accessible to individuals affiliated with Cornell University.
While I believe such limited posting fairly accomplishes the valid purposes of this webpage, I have no desire to contradict the specific wishes of any copyright holder. If you hold the copyright and object to having your material featured here, please contact me directly and I will promptly remove such material.
Week XIII
two thumbs up!
Read here a compilation of all your comments (to date) regarding the three viking films we've watched, cropped from the discussion board & annotated (by me).
I thought I'd also share with you a film reaction paper written by a student in a past iteration of this course.
I find it insightful & funny.

Week XIV
1066 & all that
This game can teach you a thing or two about the bloody history of 1066 AD, about Viking Age tactics & strategy, and most importantly, about the profanity appropriate for Viking Age battlefields.
