Class Experience

Join Danulf the Dangerous, the *second* fiercest Viking in the North, and his friendly goat Heimdall for a visit to the Viking Age! 
Danulf the Dangerous will tell students all about Viking society, arms and armor, and the daily life of a Viking in a fun and engaging conversation with a living historical character. We will discuss the Vikings' REAL jobs as farmers and craftsmen, what went in to building a viking long boat, what it means to "go Viking", the Myths and Stories the Vikings told about their gods, and look at some of the clothing, armor, weapons, and other items a Viking would own and use every day.

Learners are encouraged to ask questions and interact with the goal of organically covering whatever burning curiosities are on your learners minds about Vikings and the world they lived in.

Learning Goals

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

I have been sword fighting professionally for 7 years as an instructor, entertainer, and educator. I studied History at Southern New Hampshire University, and have performed on stage, film, tv, and in person all over the country! 

As an educator I have brought History and Swordsmanship lessons to schools, after school programs, summer camps, and libraries; I have taught children and adults both Historical Swordsmanship and Olympic Fencing, and my unique blend of history and entertainment is based on the idea of Experimental Archaeology... its best to learn by doing!
