Why Vikings Valued Silver More Than Gold
In this eye-opening episode of Viking Legacy and Lore, we crack open one of the most surprising truths of the Viking world: silver, not gold, ruled the North.
⚔️ Why did fierce Viking raiders, legendary traders, and fearless explorers crave silver above all else?
⚔️ What did silver mean for Viking power, wealth, and even spiritual life?
Through vivid storytelling and deep historical insight, we reveal:
- How silver fueled the Viking Age—from raiding monasteries to building kingdoms
- Why silver arm rings became the ultimate symbol of loyalty, honor, and reputation
- How massive Viking hoards—like those found in England, Ireland, and Scandinavia—rewrote history
- The practical reason Vikings prized silver: weight, trade, and influence, not just sparkle
- How silver shaped Viking economics, alliances, and social status far more than gold ever did
- The myth-busting truth: Vikings weren’t mindless plunderers—they were strategic wealth builders
