Early Kings of Norway by Thomas Carlyle."The Icelanders, in their long winter, had a great habit of writing; and were, and still are, excellent in penmanship. It is to this fact, that any little history there is of the Norse Kings and their old tragedies, crimes and heroisms, is almost all due. Snorro Sturleson's History of the Norse Kings is built out of these old Sagas; and has in it a great deal of poetic fire, . . . and deserves to be reckoned among the great history-books of the world. It is from these sources that the following rough notes of the early Norway Kings are hastily thrown together."Featured on Beacon Lights of History - Ancient Achievements.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.
