In this soft spoken ASMR bedtime story, I tell you about the History of the Norsemen in the Middle Ages. At the end of the Eighth Century, they embarked on raids, explorations and conquests farther and farther from their homelands in Scandinavia. This took them as far east as the Volga River in Russia and Byzantium, and as far west as America, even though they did not stay there for long. They founded colonies such as Iceland or Vineland in Newfoundland, Canada, created new states such as the Kievan Rus', and settled in regions like Yorkshire or Normandy. We explore the reasons why they suddenly became outward looking, what their societies were like, and how things unfolded until christianisation and the formation of larger kingdoms in Scandinavia (in Norway, Sweden and Denmark), that put an end to the Viking Age.
Fall asleep exploring the mysteries of History, Space, Mythology or Sciences. Every episode of the French Whisperer ASMR Podcast is a little adventure, under the form of a documentary, narrated in a soft spoken voice. It is the best way to get absorbed in a story, forget your concerns, relax, and naturally fall asleep.
