In this episode we are going to explore the rise of a major center of political, economic and religious life in the land of the Svear - the magnate's residence at Gamla Uppsala.

Along the way, we'll discuss monumental burial mounds, systems of iron age land-rights and the deaths of many, many kings.

I hope you enjoy.
