Tales From The Past: Recent Episodes
Maria Kring
Tales From The Past is my little passion project. This is a podcast for the lore and saga interested listener. I, a Danish Viking reenactor for 11 years, will be reading out loud some of the biggest as well as the smallest, sagas known from the past. The original tale of Ragnar Lodbrog, King Rolf and all the others. After reading the tale, I will always recommend you to share your thoughts and inputs with me. This you can do on Twitter at the handle @MariaaaKring . I look forward to discussing these ancient tales and stories, and to hear what you might suggest next. Thank you for listening in.
To try something a bit different in the honour of getting back to recording episodes of the podcast, I have decided to reach into the fantastical world of the Poetic Edda. With stories of the Norse Gods and their many adventures as well as the legendary kings and queens that dwells between the magical realm and reality. This episode is a 'short' introduction to what the next couple of episodes will be about. I hope you enjoy!
A 2 for 1 episode where we will be listening to the tale of first King Haakon and then later the Earl he named after himself. A daring tale of religion, betrayal and epic battles! I hope you enjoy.
In the viking age, so many of the vikings gained their reputation from pillaging and rowing the seas. Many men, who gained glory and fortune, names themselves kings of the sea. They did not settle with titles as chieftains or earls - It was the kingship of the ocean that spoke to them! In this episode, we're diving into a short storytelling of the history's finest pirates!
The tale of Erik Blood Axe and his feud with the talented viking and poet Egil the Icelander. A tale of evil, poetry, battles and magic!
Welcome back to Tales From The Past! This time around we'll dive into my nationality's past and talk about the saga of Gorm the Old, the first king of Denmark! An ancient tale of Viking-Royalty! I hope you enjoy!
Welcome to another episode of Tales of The Past. Today, we're going to visit Snorri Sturlussons sagas about the kings of Norway. He wrote about some of the biggest and most legendary kings, and who fits the picture more, than the king who unified Norway? This tale contains love, battles and betrayal more than ever, so I really hope you enjoy this viking tale. Enjoy!
The old tale of the saga hero Ragnar Lodbrog that was the inspiration to the hit tv-show 'Vikings' is on the program for today. I tell you the tale of how he got the name Lodbrog from freeing his first wife Tora to the magic surrounding his second wife Aslög and the fame his sons gathered from their exploits. I hope you enjoy!
The tale of King Rolf and Thorbjorg is a peculiar one. We hear about the warrior and man like princess that doesn't want to marry just any man. Then there's the stubborn King Rolf who doesn't know how to quit and never passes on a challenge. Fighting and love is filled in this short but exciting sage from the North.
