The Vikings in Britain and Ireland: between culture and memory
This panel discussion, chaired by historian and writer Michael Wood, will consider these regional histories and how they have shaped the cultural memory of the Vikings across Britain and Ireland.
From raiding to full-scale invasion, the development of urban trade to involvement in destructive power struggles, the experience of the Viking Age in Britain and Ireland was varied across regions.
Panellists include Stephen Harrison, Trinity College Dublin, James Moncrieff, Shetland Amenity Trust, and Marc Scully, University of Leicester
