The Brutal Training of a Viking Raider (Weeks at Sea Before the First Raid)

You are 18 years old, your land is poor, and a local chief is looking for men for a summer expedition. You will row for weeks before you ever see a coastline. This video covers how a warrior was shaped: axe and shield fighting, life aboard the longships, and loyalty to the chief. We also separate what is true about Viking raids from what is legend. The ending puts you on the beach for the first landing, and what nobody told you before you left.
