If you have a question about this talk, please contact Michael Kosicki .

In modern times Vikings have captured the popular imagination, but what made someone a ā€˜vikingā€™ in the early medieval period? Were all Scandinavians vikings and were all vikings Scandinavians? My PhD research focuses on two Scandinavian settlements in Britain and Irelandā€”the earldom of Orkney and the town of Dublinā€”both established quite early in the period of Viking activity in the region. I am seeking to establish how ā€˜Scandinavianā€™ these settlements remained after centuries of intermarriage, trade and alliances with the local surrounding population.
