In this video we go into the reign's of the early kings of the Ynglinga lineage Agne, Alrek and Eirik, Alf and Yngve. Alrek and Eirik get their fame from having killed each other with their horses bridles. Alf and Yngve share their fates, as these brothers also kill each other over Alf's wife.

My background is as a Norwegian, but have I lived in Denmark many years as well, and have travelled extensively in Scandinavia and Europe and so I bring a lot of local knowledge of the places, geography and folkloristic history associated with the saga literature. I have a lifelong interest in nordic history, language and dialects. I think this will bring a lot of interesting commentary to the sagas that especially non-Scandinavians can find interesting and helpful in appreciating the saga literature.
