In this eye-opening episode of Viking Legacy and Lore, we crack open one of the most surprising truths of the Viking world: silver, not gold, ruled the North.
⚔️ Why did fierce Viking raiders, legendary traders, and fearless explorers crave silver above all else?
⚔️ What did silver mean for Viking power, wealth, and even spiritual life?
Through vivid storytelling and deep historical insight, we reveal:
🌊 Feel the sea spray on your face as Viking ships return heavy with silver.
🪙 Hear the clink of coins and arm rings, traded for land, loyalty, and legend.
🔥 Smell the fires of the forge where silver was melted, reforged, and reborn into power.
Silver was the lifeblood of Viking ambition, the gleam behind their greatest sagas, and the silent witness to their rise across Europe and beyond.
Join us as we explore why the Vikings’ love for silver—and not gold—helped forge their lasting legacy.
