About this listen

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.

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.

The chronology of overlords is not history
