What if Poland's Viking legacy wasn't just a footnote—but a foundation?

In this powerful episode of Viking Legacy and Lore, we pull back the fog of time to uncover the untold Viking story of Poland—a history buried beneath centuries of silence, nationalism, and shifting borders. Forget the image of Vikings as only Scandinavian raiders. These Norse seafarers didn’t just burn villages… they built them. And one of the most surprising places they left their mark? Poland’s Baltic coast.

You’ve never heard this story like this before.

🔍 What You’ll Discover:

• The real reason Vikings sailed to the Polish coast—and why they stayed
