JIve Talk: What was Viking hair really like?

What did Viking hairstyles really look like? Did all Vikings have beards? Was long hair a mark of aristocracy among the Germanic tribes? In this stream I will talk about some of these misconceptions.

Anglo-German relations and the Origin of Germans

 

Anglo-German relations were good in the 19th century up until the Boer war, and have been tense ever since. In this talk, historian, Tom Rowsell , explains the deep roots the two nations share in common; the Anglo-Saxons, the Celts, the Bell Beaker folk, The Single Grave Culture and the network of Bronze Age cultures in Northern Europe who traded with each other and shared mutual descent from the Corded Ware culture. The talk was delivered to students in Hamburg in February 2026.
