Easter recess

Hello everyone,

Over the past week or so we've read The Voluspa and sections of Islendabok and Egil's Saga

In Egil, we read of Athelstan's rewarding of the viking mercenary Egil for both his victory and for his brother's death.  Today I came across this article on a recently discovered viking hoard, full of looted Anglo-Saxon gold, including two arm rings, complete with runes.


The next week or so is somewhat disrupted by Easter and then a conference that I am away for.

Here is the schedule for the rest of the term.


Friday 25th March: NO CLASS, Easter.

Monday 28th March: NO CLASS, Easter.

Wednesday 30th March: NO CLASS: Prof away at a conference.
