In Tasmania, off the coast of Australia, there is a grave marked "King of Iceland." Even more bizarrely, the title of the person was actually real. Sort of. During the Napoleonic Wars, Denmark and Britain found themselves fighting on opposing sides. An English soap salesman and a Danish POW decided this was an opportune time to conquer the Danish colony of Iceland. This could have led to Iceland being incorporated into the British Empire. Or Sweden. But what actually happened was stranger still.
Hosted by historians and The Reykjavík Grapevine founders Valur Gunnarsson and Jón Trausti Sigurðarson
