69. King Olaf Kills Klerkon in the Market Place, Novgorod, Russia 10th Century.

Blanca, the rescue Goffin's Cockatoo, is a guest cohost on this episode, about that time that Olaf, before he was king of anything, whacked Klerkon, the viking who had enslaved him when he was a toddler. We discuss the Kyivan Rus, Novgorod, Vikings, blood money, the sagas, and, to Anne's surprise, Longfellow.  Blanca the Cockatoo has a lot to say. We don't know why. Also we don't know what she was saying.
