Publisher's Summary

Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden, award-winning historian Ewan Butler writes, struggled through unions and separations with both outsiders and each other, developing their own personalities and languages yet retaining their ancient connections.

The chronology of overlords is not history

A nice refresh of the history lessons of my youth, and as flawed as they were. Basically just a chronology of the kings and occasional queens who ruled and fought and died. Every other aspect of life and the remaining 99.99% of people and how they lived largely ignored, or given a cursory mention here and there. Clearly, the author is no historian. The narrator is clear and very easy to listen to, but a bit more work on correct pronunciations of names would have been good.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
