Kingdom 1: Olof Skötkonung

For some reason the first upload of this episode didn't work on the Flatpack feed, so here's the re-release!

It is time to judge our first ever ruler, the first king of Sweden, Olof Skötkonung!

We cover the life of this interesting character who straddled eras, as we enter a country in the dying days of the Viking period. Will Olof do enough to win the coveted Kingdöm prize of The Three Crowns, or is his life story a bit of a bore?

P.S. The podcast is called Kingdom: Swedish Rulers, but we will use the fancy Swedish Ö letter in some of the logos, because we like it!
