That JORVIK Viking Thing PodcastThe Coppergate Excavation: More than Just VikingsSo far this season (and this podcast), we've talked a lot about the Vikings that lived here in York and especially on Coppergate. But the history of Coppergate is more than just the Anglo-Scandinavians that lived here in the 9th and 10th centuries. This episode, we're talking again to Dr Chris Tuckley, Head of Interpretation and Engagement here at the JORVIK Viking Centre. You might recognise Chris from a previous episode, talking about how Yorkshire has celebrated the Vikings in the past 100 years.

What'sHerNameTHE SORCERER GunnhildLong ago, in the far north of Lapland, a young woman learned the secrets of sorcery from two warlocks. At least that’s what the Icelandic sagas say. The woman would become Gunnhild, infamous Viking sorcerer whose dark magic served her lifelong pursuit of vengeance and power. Viking burials have been found that contain all the trappings of magic, so we know that the Vikings believed her immense power was real.
