- Geschiedenis
Tales From The Past is my little passion project. This is a podcast for the lore and saga interested listener. I, a Danish Viking reenactor for 11 years, will be reading out loud some of the biggest as well as the smallest, sagas known from the past. The original tale of Ragnar Lodbrog, King Rolf and all the others. After reading the tale, I will always recommend you to share your thoughts and inputs with me. This you can do on Twitter at the handle @MariaaaKring . I look forward to discussing these ancient tales and stories, and to hear what you might suggest next. Thank you for listening in.

With stories of the Norse Gods and their many adventures as well as the legendary kings and queens that dwells between the magical realm and reality. This episode is a 'short' introduction to what the next couple of episodes will be about. I hope you enjoy!

The Sea-Kings and their daring feats!
In the viking age, so many of the vikings gained their reputation from pillaging and rowing the seas. Many men, who gained glory and fortune, names themselves kings of the sea. They did not settle with titles as chieftains or earls - It was the kingship of the ocean that spoke to them! In this episode, we're diving into a short storytelling of the history's finest pirates!

Harold Fair-haired founds the kingdom of Norway
Welcome to another episode of Tales of The Past. Today, we're going to visit Snorri Sturlussons sagas about the kings of Norway. He wrote about some of the biggest and most legendary kings, and who fits the picture more, than the king who unified Norway? This tale contains love, battles and betrayal more than ever, so I really hope you enjoy this viking tale. Enjoy!
