The True Story of Thorkell the Tall | Vinland Saga

In this video I will be taking you to the 10th and 11th century Scandinavia and England. This was a time of everlasting war, strife, betrayal and bloodshed. Thorkell the tall would distinguish himself amongst his fellow warriors for his immense fighting prowess; he would climb the ranks of the Jomsvikings the most savage and highly skilled warriors in Scandinavia and arguably the world and would ultimately become their chief. This is his story.
