They Called Them Huskarls – The King’s Unbreakable Warriors

Uncover the secret history of the Huskarls, the elite warriors and household guards of Viking kings. In this cinematic saga, journey to 11th-century Scandinavia and Anglo-Saxon England, where King Cnut’s Battle Axe-wielding bodyguards changed the course of history. From the hallowed Norse longhall to the brutal fields of Stamford Bridge and Hastings, learn how these disciplined Norse soldiers trained, lived, and fought. We debunk myths (no, not all Vikings were huskarls, and they weren’t mindless mercenaries) and compare these axe-wielding giants to samurai and knights. Dive into sagas and chronicles as we witness the bravery of Harold’s housecarls at Hastings and their strange fate in the Varangian Guard.
