Differences between Norwegian, Swedish and Danish Vikings 

I'm a mix Danish and Spanish, we're in the same Longship friend.

Interesting combo.

My great grandparents were Danish. Let's get this rolling.

Normandy: French Vikings

@@Caine61 Gallic and Breton, actually.

Faroe Islands: Still Vikings

Lol danes settling? you mean conquerors.

@@Caine61 Danish decent

i agree/enig :-)

Have you lived anywhere else? Just curious.

I would love to live in my ancestors' home of Norway...so beautiful and they take care of their citizens and I could watch the Northern Lights!

I’m a Dane as well and I truly agree we love our brothers!

Ya they just dislike anyone else moving to thier countries

Good one! True 😂

And Danes go to Germany and Poland. The further north you go, the more expensive it gets.

Except the ones that freeze/faint when you scare them.

goats freeze and fall over if you walk too loud, not something to be so proud of

@@dud13 we don't have that type of goats in Scandinavia.

@@dud13 Then you also have the goats that climb mountains without a care in the world.

Right on, don't fuck with an upset and cornered goat!

@@-_pi_- because they couldn’t tell Norwegians swedes and danes apart, pretty funny actually

True, but your people deserve it. Everyone who is interested in history of that time period should know how much impact the danish people had on the rest of the known world. Thay left there stamp everywhere 👍🏻 Greetings from North Germany

I've always said that all of the Nordic countries should create a (fair) union. Lots of natural resources, industry and such + also add tourism to it. Everyone produces stuff, send it to the Danes and they design it... and as always been a pretty good trading nation, sell it twice as expensive. 💲🤑💲🤑💲

Agreed, White countries are really the best places to live.

thank you very much. as a dane with a little bit of a bias, i'll have to agree.

Yeah even though im part swedish as well. I'm still pissed about that. Everyone thinks a viking is Norwegian and Danish.

@@Ominiumshadow24 Vikings in Britain/Ireland or France very likely where few Swedes. In the east mostly Swedes though.

@@PMMagro Yeah Finland and anywhere near the black seas. At least I found out though my uncle since he search our ancestry on moms side. That I have a little lcelandic and slight Norweigan. But more swedish

@@PMMagro not true. Many swedes followed the danes to the west. One example of this would be the 'England runestones' which tells of Swedes who travelled to or were killed in England.

Wait really? holy shit I didn't know that, I feel sorry for your brother. I'd be absolutely pissed if something like that happened to us Norwegians

OK, I had my eye on Finland during this video. All very educational and entertaining - and one must be able to laugh at oneself to make progress. So, it seems the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bathnia really influenced different development between west and east, quite a barrier...

all around Baltic sea were sea riders / pirates, due to the nature of the area. Curonians (Kurir old Norse) now days Lithuanians and Latvians were in constant wars with Swedish and Danish sea riders / vikings and had been in military alliances with them. And they had kept they paganism... until 1387:D

The swedes in finland were vikings. The real finno-ugric people were not

Well...you have the Estonians...and by extension the Hungarians as cousins.

tää on kyl paras selitys :)

😁 Hey cousin!

I mean.... they really settled those danes as vassals, so it is more like: They get so tired of you raiding that they hire you to guard the place from raids.

Ive recently learned a lot about what led up to WW2. Who knows how accurate the info is, and it's a complex issue. With that understanding, and absolutely no judgement here, the Scandinavian countries could of done things differently. As all of our countries could of. ❤

Yup, it’s fascinating how peoples change over time. Look at the romans, it’s a mystery to me how they organized a huge empire but Rome is a logistical nightmare nowadays 😂, I guess the hordes of Japanese tourists were too much for them

@@circulati Rome still lives. Especially where I am. The U.S. is founded on Roman politics. Even time seems to be founded on the names of Roman gods. Days of the week and months of the year. Heck, even the year proper is roman numerals. Rome hasn't gone anywhere.

@@Truthster772 yes, totally agree. my people as they are today and my language wouldn’t have existed if not for the Roman conquest (I’m Romanian). But I wasn’t referring to their legacy, I was referring strictly to their organizational abilities, unparalleled in ancient times and which seem to have taken a back seat in more recent history.

This video is completely wrong about Sweden though. The lack of historical and archelogical knowledge is astounding. Swedes weren't in England? Laughable. Is that why all the anglosaxon coins are found in Sweden and so are the Runestones that describes the journeys there

@@LordOfSweden Nestor's Primary Chronicle...we have written sources as well. Michael Psellos, Miskaway, Ibn Fahdlan and many others.

I heard that most settlements along the Irish coast were all started by Vikings, and I wouldn't be surprised if Scotland had a lot too. My own ancestry is 25% Swedish, 25% Scotch, and similar amounts of Irish and English. I take after the Swedish, so I'm thinking my Scandinavian heritage is more than 25%, plus I got the name. Would have been Leif if my dad had his way.

@@dtvjho cool. There's this weird romanticism nwith Vikings. Like I get it, the show was kinda cool and they were great explorers and all. Additionally, some my favorite bands are Swedish but, there's nothing wrong with being Celtic or Slavic or anything else. The Irish don't have much Norse DNA. The Irish stopped any outside people's from impacting their R1b L21 dominated genetics much. I think the Irish are the coolest/nicest people. Well, when they're not drunk mean. The Scots have quite a bit more Norse ancestry than the Irish.

More likely because of the fact that an island is only so big, and they were overpopulated. Also, because of it being an island, they developed fantastic ships and sailors. Scandi blood is just circumstantial, but probably beneficial if one believes in genetic pre-disposition to trait in certain areas.. Norway was also overpopulated although it is not an island - but might as well have been for the lack of arable land vs. mountains. The only way out was to sail.

where is the ship?

@@raditicat The Sami have it way up Nord... where the vessel style came from.

@@GoddessPottery vikingr as the word itself says, there must be a ship. That's what I mean.

@@raditicat vikingr is Norwegian for Vikings in the plural. The ships themselves are crafted in the style of the Sámi Nordland boats near the Arctic Circle, but were much larger. It is the Indigenous Sámi that have the ship style. I wish I could upload, we have an actual Viking ship, intact, where I live. It's small, but was sailed from Norway through the St. Lawrence Seaway to Minnesota with a crew of 6 I believe. Relics from the Iron Age show activity attributed to the Vikings. My family is from Loppa Municipality near the Arctic Circle in Finnmark. The ships are all over up there, but we, the Sámi, have the original style of the Nordland vessel.

@@noahallvall8562 and therefore probably Irish or Scottish as well.

I agree! Im Dregovich član. THIS video Is hillarious.

@Clandestine Council yeah I know, a study showed that the Mitochondrial DNA of the average Icelander is between 60-65% Celtic in origin, whether it be Irish, Scottish, or Welsh.

Noooo. When People say Irish and scottish DNA ITS only 5-6 generations back. Haplogroups Are further and Can determine Viking era from graves. So we do know todays SCOTs share 10% Viking blood. So we do know swedes share 8% Viking blood. But in Scandinavia there is Only 7% swedes. But looking at Viking graves allower Europe. Those Viking graves of Kings were Haplogroup R. So Scots in scotland today Are super fake! Just like swedes today. Citizens that assimilated OTHER coultures. All prooven facto. But ORIGIN Irish and Scots Are mostly Viking and came from Island year 380-415. So Yes history is very messed Up with lies.

I haven't seen anywhere that says celts were dark skinned. Do you have any sources on that??

Were they "exploring" England? Lol

​@finntastic3711 Scandinavians also weren't primary blonde and blue eyed, most had dark hair

@@finntastic3711 not dark skinned. Brown hair and eyes. We're called, "Black Irish"

@@SamCreecy If you're referring to "hold din kæft" it means "shut up".

Hey, just think, every time someone saw Vikings coming, they yelled, "Danes!"

That’s real history right there

Well they are still danish genetically,although there is very little difference between danish and northern Germans

My Danish 5x great grandad was from Bornholm and he was a ship captain. He migrated to NZ and started a shipping company. His brother was also a Sailor, and their father a ship captain 😂

okay you are not a viking brother, none of you are... none.... guys this is so foolish... you might as well compare pokimon cards because what we see on tv and even read of the history is make belief. this is actually disrespectful to the history to follow this hollycuckj stuff. ps study shows that tthe english were under the rule but they did not get taken over genetically. people of the british islands are almost entirely related to northern iberians, are actually original northern iberian natives...no they are not genetically related to danes hahahahahahahahaha

Thanks for shedding light on this, I'm half German and Nigerian but my DNA test revealed that Imt actually 3/8 German and 1/8 Scandinavian. I'm from Schleswig-Holstein so I assumed that to be Danish ancestry, and I had been wandering about the nature of the exchange.

Sorry to say we wasnt brothers at all. We killed eachother for petty power. IF we united the world would be a very different place today.

Yes I do as well, loved the video. The brother part is of course a very loose use, but certainly we share the language regardless of how we fought within and outside our borders. The thing not mentioned is how why we were so fierce fighters - the knowledge or sense of our what is really the beliefs that made dying in battle something that was not feared but held high. Once there could only be one god and only one spirit that killed the fierceness and the spirit of the vikings. As it similarly did to Japan after WWIII, and so many others. When current day people look at vikings they mostly see the crudeness and viciousness but they had some high spirited views that went far beyond killing. Like the runes which when translated are often from a spirit of play. Today humans have turned in to pussies, to quote Clint Eastwood. During the sea faring days of 1700's and 1800's people were whipped with cat o' 9 tails (whip with nine tails with hooks and other sharp objects along it) which was routine, you got your several whippin's and were soon back to work. Today you'd probably kill a person with a single hit. To compare how people lived and died with today will be hard for most to comprehend and with that largely not understood. Now you must be politically correct and society sets its standards by the lowest common denominator. The olympics should not have winners because that means there are losers so no more pushing the limits and just settle into some low mediocre life. It does not mean life's choices are black or white, but we need to toughen up and not cry because of some petty reason. Definitely treat others the way you want to be treated and lead a life where others are happy you lived, but be strong, know the difference between right and wrong and stand for something! Be true to yourself! [I'll get off my soap box now.]

@@oliwwer Not true, they operated in the Scandinavian region as collective whole. Just go back further... the ones that went "north" probably originated from Sweden as in modern day Norway.

@@ElegantenFranVidderna no we didnt, götar and svear was enemies before we united under the three crowns just in sweden. You clearly have no clue either, norwegians had nothing north. They went to the west and britannia for the majority. East and north was rus aka swedish viking territory.

Just a reminder: If somebody is born and lives in the USA, and has heritage from Europe, they're not that ethnicity. They're just american.

Yes, I have visited Heavener runestone several times and am convinced that the runes were cut into the stone a thousand years ago. The patina in the groves matches the exterior of the stone. Two other smaller stones have been found in Oklahoma (see at Spiro Mounds Museum) and one each in Arkansas and Minnesota.

Yes Sweden for sure played a huge role in the East. Just not so many written records unfortunately. But lots of little clues everywhere!

Russians love their founding story with the Kievan Rus, they referred to themselves always as Varangians and always refer back to Rurik and the Rurik dynasty. Although most of them are of slavic descend they feel connected to the Kievan Rus. Just look up some speeches of Putin about the history.

I also live in Uppland. Also, the word Rus also origin from the swedish word "ror". Fram "rorsmän" men with oars. And the runic stones mostly tell about individuals travelling towards the black sea, to Grekland and Miklagård. Later in Varnhem, Västergötland central sweden it is confirmed that some individuals buried there participated in the battle of Hastings, in 1066.

@@norsemagicandbeliefs8134 there is some writen from Byzantine then there is arabs and the slavic them self. There is also some runestones in Sweden about east. I can also ad that house of yngling where alot of viking kings comes from is also swedish vikings and house of munsö with Björn Ironside is a part of house of yngling those all are counted as swedish people then i belive it was some in norway and Denmark also that comes from yngling and are swedish people ruling over others. And for those that want to know what varangian comes from its synonomous with vaeringar and if im not mistake me it meens the oath sworn/the oath sworn people.

@@Max1990Power yes the old name for Sweden amongst finnish, Estonians, slavic and even greek people that said Rōssía i belive meens land of rowers and later became Roslagen

Hispanic/Scandinavian dude here, so I proudly call myself Hispandinavian 😎

My family is also Swedish/Norwegian and if I were to crash your get together I would hope to double up on the Lefse and give every spec of my Lukfisk to someone else.

I thought you were gonna say Norswedgians haha

What would you call an American woman whose ancestors are MOSTLY Swede, French Canadian, English, Scottish, Irish, Native American, Dutch, and Polish? Lol

We call them Scandihoovians, a mix of Swedish, Norwegian, and Scottish, mostly hooligans.

You're joking, but the vikings were actually in Ibiza as well. Well, Norwegian now-christainized vikings, and not at all Goths, but funny all the same 😂 You should check out Sigurd I, perhaps the most badass person to ever emerge from Scandinavia ... and a (the first ever) Crusader King at that... Edit: I now realize the joke may have been more educated than I thought even at first glance 😅 I assume you're thinking about the conquests in Iberia and Sicily (Though Sigurd did go to the Balearic Islands, and beat the crap out of the Berber pirates that had been plaguing central Europe)

@@SebHaarfagre I knew Scandinavians were in Sicily but had no idea the were in Ibiza (which i think is childishly funny hi hi). Sigurd is defenitly a guy i'm gonna check up on. Thanks for the tip.

det gjør vi også

@@jaysonlima9271 Tror till och med att norrmännen har en folkvisa om att åka till Ibiza

Are you Burmese?

Dont be so sure that you dont have any viking dna. These lil' bastards managed to fertilize large part of the world.

Actually it’s thought the Mongols went north to the Arctic circle and followed caribou herds around the polar cap and settle many areas including Scandinavia. Norwegian Sami’s and Finish people actually have Asian dna traces because of the influence so you might have more influence in Viking dna than you think.

@@sabunim29 But do us Finns have Asian dna in us because of mongols, or because of the fact that our Uralic ancestors lived in Ural mountains and most likely their ancestors migrated from eastern asia towards west thousands and thousands of years ago?
