This October, I had the tremendous honour of being invited to participate in this year's Viking Seminar, a part of the annual Festival of History in Dublin. The topic for the seminar was the figure of Saint Olaf and the international character of his cult, as it spread widely across Northern Europe shortly after he was proclaimed a saint in 1031. Participating in this seminar was an absolutely marvellous experience, and I was delighted to be part of the line-up, especially because the various presentations connected very well with one another in terms of the topics and the details explored in them, and also because the line-up was comprised of very lovely people.
As the seminar was a public event, the lectures were also recorded, and they are available on YouTube, thanks to the Dublin City Libraries. Consequently, instead of repeating my words unduly and unnecessarily, I give you the link for the whole seminar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD059xzw3CA.
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!
