Ergebnis für "Bei den Wikingern" in Mittelalter

Die Faszinationskraft, die von dem Wort Wikinger ausgeht, ist und bleibt ungebrochen. Jeder hat sofort Bilder vor Augen, wenn er es hört - gehörnte Helme, starke, kriegerische Seefahrer und Eroberer, unerschrockene Entdecker, die sich die Meere und die Länder untertan machen, die sie erreichen. Doch wie viel wissen wir tatsächlich über die Wikinger? Wie differenziert ist unser Bild, und welche der vermeintlichen Fakten haben diese Bezeichnung wirklich auch verdient?

Neue Funde entschlüsseln die Vergangenheit: Das wahre Leben der Wikinger – so, wie es noch nie erzählt wurde. Hier werden die Geschichten der Anderen erzählt – Kinder, Versklavte, Seher, Handwerker, Reisende und Schriftsteller –, die das nordische Mittelalter prägten. Eleanor Barraclough lässt ihre Welt durch Alltagsfunde lebendig werden: einen geliebten Kamm, eine zornige Botschaft auf Holz, Kinderkritzeleien auf Birkenrinde. So entsteht ein faszinierendes Bild einer Kultur, die sich von Skandinavien bis nach Byzanz und ins Kalifat erstreckte.

"Blauzahn", "Blutaxt" oder "Schönhaar" - die Beinamen der frühen Könige des Nordens sind so fantasievoll wie die Überlieferung ihrer Taten. Die Skalden vermischen in ihren Sagas Dichtung und Geschichtsschreibung zu einem Amalgam. Erst Knut der Große tritt aus dem Nebel der Sage und nimmt konkrete historische Konturen an. Der Däne schmiedet ein Imperium aus England, Dänemark, Norwegen und Schweden. Er ist ein maßvoller Herrscher mit Ambitionen: Angelsachsen und Wikinger sollen im Zeichen des Kreuzes zusammenwachsen. Knuts Vision steht auf tönernen Füßen.

Remembered for their shocking brutality and impressive naval prowess, these marauding pirates from the North have inspired poetry, fantasy novels, plays, symphonies, and even comic book heroes over the last 12 centuries. But do any of these enduring tropes reflect reality? Who were the Vikings really? What do we know about the period that bears their name? Explore these questions and more in The Viking Age, a 12-lecture course that corrects the record on a transformative period in world history.

The Vikings maintain their grip on our imagination, but their image is too often distorted by medieval and modern myth. It is true that they pillaged, looted, and enslaved. But they also settled peacefully and developed a vast trading network. They traveled far from their homelands in swift and sturdy ships, not only to raid, but also to explore. Despite their fearsome reputation, the Vikings didn’t wear horned helmets, and even the infamous berserkers were far from invincible.

Rares sont ceux qui n'ont pas entendu parler des redoutables Vikings et de leurs audacieux exploits. Ces navigateurs du Nord, le fléau du Moyen Âge, ont marqué l'histoire du monde d'une manière grandiose.

Beaucoup les croyaient invincibles, et ils maintinrent sous leur emprise de nombreuses nations chrétiennes en difficulté.
