After a moment of thought, he replies: – Good question. Maybe if we wrote to each other on cards. We must remember that we are using a passive language, the pronunciation of which we are trying to adapt from contemporary Icelandic. But we cannot be certain of it. Prof. Morawiec researches the history of medieval Scandinavia, the development of the ideology of royal power, local historiography and skalds. He works at the Institute of History at the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Silesia, where we meet. We know that the Vikings visited the southern shore of the Baltic Sea earlier than the attack on the Lindisfarne monastery in 793, often considered the beginning of the Viking Age. The attack on this particular monastery was made famous by the monk Alkunin, who wrote in a dramatic letter to King Ethelred of Northumbria: "We and our fathers have lived in this beautiful land for nearly three hundred and fifty years, and never before has such brutality been seen in Britain as that which we experienced at the hands of these pagans. No one thought that such a sea expedition was possible. The Church of St. Cuthberta – the holiest place in Britain – is spattered with the blood of God's servants, robbed of everything, plundered by barbarians." - Alkunin was emotional, because it was about a monastery that was not only important, but also close to him. Such incidents had happened before, and the monk somehow did not react as spontaneously, or at least we do not know anything about it - comments Prof. Morawiec. We also talk about what we know about Viking warrior women, why being a retired Viking was a terrible idea, and about mutual inspirations between Vikings and Christians. I also ask Prof. Morawiec for a few words "in Viking style" (effectively!). 🚂 The podcast was created during Radio Naukowe's trip to Silesia.
