How did the Norse & the Sámi Interact? | The History with Hilbert Podcast

The famous interactions of Norsemen in the Viking Age are the violent ones in places like Lindisfarne in 793 or Clontarf in Ireland in 1014 or Stamford Bridge in 1066. Much less attention is paid to the relationship between the Norse from the Viking Age and the indigenous Sámi or Saami people who hunted and herded reindeer in the Far North of Scandinavia.

Hi everyone this is the first episode of a new feature on the channel, the History with Hilbert Podcast where I'll be taking a more long-form approach to look at different subjects from history. I'll be inviting some guests on in future and hopefully making it a regular, perhaps weekly or biweekly feature. Let me know what you think!
