The Birkebeiners were peasants and fierce warriors in the Middle Ages whose King sat on the throne of Norway.

Based on the actual historical event, a lavishly illustrated bed-time story for your little Vikings:

In 1206, the king of Norway died. His queen was left in a dangerous and politically volatile situation, as their son, crown-prince Haakon, was only a baby. The Baglers, a league of corrupt power-hungry land-owners, saw their chance to eliminate Haakon, and place a king of their choosing on the throne.

It was Christmas Eve, and the enemy was on the move. Queen Inge found refuge in the homestead of a loyal follower. They had to get baby Haakon to a safe haven.

The Birkbeiners came to the rescue! These were a band of select-warriors, skilled in living off the land, experts in scouting and raiding, every one of them highly adept in battle-skills and skiing. Two of these Medieval Rangers carried the prince over the mountains in the middle of a snow-storm, beyond the reach of his enemies!
