I spent a summer doing an archaeological dig on Lindesfarne. Its incredibly beautiful and being stuck on an island with a few hundred people and EIGHT pubs was fun too

@Lottaquizzes Год назад

Great video! Bamburgh castle is really close to Lindisfarne, so you can pop over when you visit.

@leehallam9365 Год назад

Yes you can see each from the other. The rock with the castle is just another outcrop of ancient volcanic rock like the one Bamburgh is on.

@Waterford1992 Год назад

I visited Holy Island in 2010 during a sailing trip as we anchored in the bay and came ashore by speed boat at the pier but the castle was closed at the time but did go in the village and bought some stuff in the gift shop where I bought a little note book which I still have today on my computer desk.

@lizstratton9689 Год назад

You always ask such good questions. Great review and awesome to think it was over 1200 years ago, amazing we still have the records.

I'm just drinking some 'Lindisfarne Mead' (a fortified wine with honey). I highly recommend visiting the winery if you go to Holy Island (it's close to the priory). But now I just buy it at Tesco's or ASDA - LOL!

@katetorode8411 Год назад

If they didn't blame one of the monks they would have to admit God had no power to protect the monks

@lovisalindstrom7920 Год назад

True. ...Or would have to admit that the pagan gods of norse mythology is the myth to believe in. I would think that the vikings thought they had Odin on their side.

@SJ-GodofGnomes21 Год назад

Went on holiday, brilliant place. But gets very busy

@williambranch4283 Год назад

At that time, in Frankia, Charlemagne was fighting a genocidal war against the pagan Saxons up to the boundary of Denmark. The Northmen were well aware of who they were fighting. Charlemagne had burned down the sacred tree of the Saxons, Irminsul, their "axis mundi". Charlemagne had tried to convert the Saxons to Christianity, but they revolted, killing the clergy and burning the churches.

@494Farrell Год назад

You need to remember the way people thought back then, religion was very real for a lot of them.

@joyfulzero853 Год назад

I think some things don't change and that a Bishop ranting on about them bringing it on themselves for sinful practises is doing some politicking. He is pushing his own authority and making a point to enhance his position in the church and letting it be known that it would not happen under his watch!

@robinchwan 8 месяцев назад

surprisingly i learned about the norse ( my country history ) was the slaves had a chance of working their worth as a slave off so they'd become free later. not many places that could do that around that time.

@DruncanUK Год назад

I doubt very much if the Lindesfarne well was dug with shovels. It's much more likely that they would have used picks to break up the rock and baskets and ropes to remove the rubble.

@williambranch4283 Год назад

Why the sin of a hair cut? There had been a great synod under St Cuthbert regarding the Irish vs Roman church. One point of difference was how to tonsure. The synod decided to follow all Roman practices. This criticism is against any Irish monks in the neighborhood.

@Lnch4ALion Год назад

Why would it be worse for a monk to be taken away as a slave, than anyone else

@johncenashi5117 7 месяцев назад

Because if you are dead you wouldnt have to live in slavery with people who do not respect who you are or what you believe in.

@richardedgar9670 Год назад

I don’t like to be a pedant (actually I do), but the first recorded Viking attack in England was in 789 on the Isle of Portland. I have to point this out because it’s where I’m from and so is an odd source of pride. You can visit the small beach which the three ships landed at because it was the only safe anchor before they murdered the Shire Reeve from Dorchester. It’s pretty obvious that there were previous attacks elsewhere in England, but as we’re talking ‘recorded’, Portland is it, but of course the celebrities of the day lived at Lindisfarne, so that gets all the press.

@matthewjamison Год назад

If it wasn't for the Vikings, England might not have became 1 Kingdom. Or at the very least, might have took a lot longer to happen & everything that followed (like the British Empire) wouldn't have happened.

@dannyboywhaa3146 Год назад

@scyphe Год назад

As William the Conqueror was a Viking descendant of the Viking Chief Rollo (who took the area in northern France which was named Normandy, a name based on "Norsemen") you're most likely right.

Are you kidding? The Normans, who ruled England from 1066, were the descendents of the Vikings who settled what is now northern France. Normans = Norsemen.

After 793 CE English mothers had a new boogieman to use on their children. "Eat this pig slop and like it ... or the Vikings will get you, my pretty!" - English mother ... this would be useful for another 274 years, when it was changed to "...or the Normans will get you!".

It was good to hear you say that you aren't interested in political biases in your desire to learn about a subject and found it slightly irritating when it happens. Unfortunately you did not carry this through to your bias on the beliefs of the monks of Lindisfarne and the English Christian views of the times. I don't think being ignorant of Biblical matters that you are fairly judging the beliefs of the people at that time and quite condescending of their religious views. You are learning with preconceived ideas based on your not having a faith, simply exactly what you thought the other video commentator was doing. You judged in the same way so you may understand how it is possible to have a skewed learning process. Clear your mind of prejudices to learn clearly. Still love your channel and don't mean to offend you just hopefully constructive criticism. 👍🇬🇧

@danic9304 Год назад

Alcuin's assumption that the attack might be as a result of sinful behaviour by the monks wasn't an unusual one at the time. Every major disaster, every martial loss or successful invasion prompted leading clerical thinkers to consider if it was a sign of God's wrath

@MrBulky992 Год назад

In 2007, a senior cleric in the Church of England, the Bishop of Carlisle, the Rt Rev Graham Dow, claimed that new laws that allegedly undermined marriage, including the introduction of pro-gay legislation, had provoked God to act by sending the storms in that year that left thousands of people homeless in the UK. So it is not just an attitude from earlier times. We should not be surprised at such opinions from churchmen: they are following the example given in the bible which has many such stories e.g. Sodom and Gomorrah.

@williambranch4283 Год назад

King Henry VIII thought the Catholic Church had it coming for the same reasons, and he was descended from the Viking Rollo, who lived 100 years after this attack. Churchmen are supposed to be as pacifist and helpless as Mahatma Gandhi or MLK. These people considered martyrdom desirable. Obviously fighters like the King of Northumbria preferred fighting.

You see, that's why the US lost in Vietnam, it was all those hippies with all that hair.

@TheNeonParadox Год назад

Oh please. Such misinformation. What really happened was the Northmen were peacefully sailing along and noticed a fire. They helped all they could by rescuing the valuables, and even rescued most of the people, and they were even nice enough to give all the monks new jobs. 😉

@kristofferholst6053 Год назад

Id wish he would stop saying northmen and Scandinavians all the time. They were Danes. Later they were joined by Norwegians and people from what later became Sweden. But these ones were Danes. The largest Viking population were Danes because the better farmland could sustain more people. Apparently this “Historian” could not resist a bit of Hollywood as well. Showing the Fjorda of Norway as the final destination for the slaves.

@johncenashi5117 7 месяцев назад

Danes are Nordic and Scandinavian tho. We often refer to people as they are seen today when it comes to history, because it makes it easier to understand. Even tho Northmen were the name for Norwegians, it is easier for people who are not that into history to understand if we just generalize a name. Its a bit like calling Finland as Finland when talking about Swedish Empire. And correct me, but "People from what later became Sweden" is kinda weird after saying Norwegians. Since both countries are about the same age? Atleast from what we think, since we dont even know the true names of the Nordic countries, just the Anglo-Saxons names?

Hey buddy. PLEASE use a cup or something ! Really bad manners to drink from the bottle like that ! What is it with Americans and UK grass !? Don't you have green grass in the USA ? Please note...no horns on their helmets !! Lindisfarne, also known as HOLY ISLAND. They would have used stone tools or picks made from deer antlers to dig the well.

@Ganymede559 Год назад

^ The world will be relived to know the English don't act, speak and behave like the above.

@amyw6808 Год назад

They would have had iron tools. Saxons weren’t Stone Age. British people drink out of bottles too. We don’t say “buddy” though.

@johncenashi5117 7 месяцев назад

Just because you think its bad manners, doesnt make him think its bad manners, people have different perspectives on what bad manners is. Americans and green grass is a thing because alot of the grass they have is less green. Thats why they can buy special grass to put on their lawns. They have MUCH less rain than what UK does. Iron tools would have been used. Iron were found long before the well would have been built.
