Ancient Black Ops - The Varangian Guard (Episode 6)

Episode 6: These are Vikings for hire, ruthless mercenaries who strike fear into their enemies. As an elite armed unit their job is to conquer unruly territories across the great Byzantine Empire, and they'll become known as the Varangian Guard. But it's one particular member of this group of axe-wielding Vikings who will solidify the Varangian Guard's place in history. His name is Harald Sigurdsson, given the epithet Hardrada (roughly translated from Old Norse as "stern counsel" or "hard ruler"), also known as Harald of Norway. In a string of victories across Sicily, he will show an ingenuity and tactical genius which elevates the Varangians from sheer brutality into the ranks of the finest special forces of their day.
