Your Life as a Viking Thrall (You Wouldn’t Survive#video

What if you were captured by Vikings and forced to live as a thrall — a slave at the very bottom of Viking society? This video explores the harsh reality of what your life would have been like if you were enslaved during the Viking Age. From the moment of capture, your fate was no longer your own. Viking thralls worked endlessly on farms, in households, and on dangerous tasks with no freedom and little protection. Survival depended on strength, obedience, and luck. Some thralls hoped to earn freedom, while many never escaped their brutal daily routine.
