Vinland Saga's Real-Life Inspirations for Prince Canute, Thorfinn & Others
The following contains spoilers for the Vinland Saga manga.
Vinland Saga is an ongoing seinen manga and anime franchise by author Makoto Yukimura, set during the Viking Age of medieval Europe. It includes real-life historical figures and events, such as the Danish occupation of the British Isles and the adventures of Leif Erikson, Thorfinn Karlsefni and others.
As expected, Vinland Saga takes some creative liberties, especially because medieval history is filled with frustrating gaps, apocryphal stories, and instances of myths and legends blended together with the hard truth. It's not always easy to know who did what a thousand years ago, but Vinland Saga does its best to portray characters like Thorfinn, Gudrid, Leif and Prince Canute in compelling, and at least slightly accurate, ways for anime fans.
