Secrets Of The Viking Ship with Bettany Hughes (2026)

Historian Bettany embarks on a fascinating investigation into a cluster of Viking graves discovered in the eastern Baltic, dating back more than 1,200 years and predating the accepted start of the Viking Age. Travelling from Estonia to Sweden, she follows the scientific trail as archaeologists and researchers reconstruct the men’s origins, family ties and final fates—and confronts a tantalising question: could one of these warriors have been the legendary Viking king whose story inspired an epic saga?
