The Dark Deeds of Freydis Eriksdottir 

It’s fog spray lol

@@AtunSheiFilms Its a lot funnier if we say its paint

@@AtunSheiFilms You went WAY too far but suggesting transgender existed in Norse society that is a modern concept, that buried woman was likely just a rich woman’s grave gifts

@@johnhenry4844 He merely offers it as a possibility, no need to get your knickers in a twist

Odin; a badass leader of warriors who painfully disfigured himself in the pursuit of great knowledge and power, and also probably a cross dresser! Get you a man who can do both, amirite? 😍

Because one would most certainly interpret the sagas with a modern view of things. This is how the christians fucked it up and even started adding christian elements like Ask and Embla.

@@TOBAPNW_ Not with that beard he wasn't, lol

I can just imagine Erik telling Leif “I have no son” and then remembering Freydis

@@warlordofbritannia I can see him hearing word of his daughter's actions, a tear forming in his eye, wiping it away while saying "That's my baby-girl".

@@RaptorJesus they grow up so fast 🥲

Leif was arguably the only sane person in the entire lineage

Picturing some Icelander going "That boy ain't right" @@dersuddeutschesumpf5444

Sounds cool!

Did you ever hear the tragedy of The Greenlanders by Jane Smiley?

@@dinotsar6396 darth plagueis the wise?

@@dinotsar6396 it's not a story the Saxons would tell you...

@Atun-Shei Films, if you are interested at all in arctic history, read arctic adventure by peter freuchen. Fantastic read by one of the most badass explorers ever!

Leif Eikson day wasn't invented by Atun Shei. Far from it.

@@lhistorienchipoteur9968 Yep, I know that. It is not something celebrated in my part of the US though.

@@lhistorienchipoteur9968 Suuuuuure.. Next you're gonna tell me that all of Germany wasn't on vacation from 1938-1945.

​@@John.McMillanI mean they were... In France, the Balkan and russia

Talk about ck3 beeing too easy, unfortunately.

@@connycontainer9459 the real difficult part is not forgetting to disinherit 6 of your 7 sons when you die

Cnut energy

@@connycontainer9459 Really depends on where you decide to start though. 1066 Norway? Yeah, that's easy. 867 in the county of Léon? Hard as all hell since you're an Amateur Norse between Cornwall and Brittany.

​@@connycontainer9459Wrong.

Well, as aten pointed out, maybe they were all trans. Might be that there has never been a woman who accomplished anything in history.

Weren't Valkyries Heaven-maids? sorta like what the Muslims got for their dead warriors.

Normans aren't vikings

@@paulf3999 They were literally Viking settlers that were given the land of Normandy because the King of France wanted peace.

@@John.McMillan Sounds like they had viking ancestry then. I reckon when you change the language, alphabet, religion, region, military practice, political institutions and genetic makeup over two centuries, it's not the same people.

Happy Birthday!!

Their is some notion that pre viking Germanic tribes may have had ritual helmets with horns but that's really about all the evidence of them having "horned" helmets as far as I'm aware at least, I could be very wrong however as this is half remember information not something I have the ability to directly source it from

@@alexcunningham1647 Those helmets (Veksö Helmets) were pre-Germanic from the bronze age. But yes, those helmets were the inspiration for Wagners horned helmets, even if they were kinda 1000 years off.

I always thought that the helmets with eyepieces looked way more badass. Horns make me think of Sunday comics and Vikings fans, and I like the Packers.

Not exactly, just kinda weird.

To the one or ones who wrote the Greenlanders saga, anyhow. Or maybe he/they were just describing a family's drama?

I'm reliably informed that they hate to see one winning.

Wait how did you comment 22 hours before the video came out?

Some idiots play the hate card just for fun.

Well, "Checkmate Lincolnites" seems to have made a lot of Lost Causers very unhappy.

@@were-owlinwisconsin4441 As the kids say, "Cope."

If you want more content I would suggest the videos of Jackson Crawford, former professor of Old Norse (I believe he's on indefinite leave?) On RU-vid. Very informative, very easygoing. Most of his videos are pretty short, too, though there are some longer ones on more in-depth subjects.

Honestly I was on the opposite side of this I've never heard anyone from here say it as new-finlind. Always newf'n-land

Maybe next year!

@@AtunSheiFilms, Maybe next year.

Greg Oden, the basketball player?

I drink mine while wearing chainmail and swinging a long sword. As a result, I've been barred from most my local taverns.

iirc some ancient peoples are believed to have buried women who died in childbirth as warriors. (I've yet to watch the video so if that is the context for your comment then, please, ignore me)

I know it was a part of Aztec culture to consider birth as important as a battle, and women giving birth as warriors. The baby was symbolically a “captive” and surviving birth was winning the war. Iirc women who died in childbirth would be considered analogous to fallen warriors

I mean yeah I’m not sure that’s really controversial. The Norse explorers on Newfoundland weren’t the beginning of a process of colonialism and genocide of two continents. Just a little boating trip and some little encounters. So yeah nobody really gives a damn about Leif Erickson Day because there’s no reason to. But also I would disagree that a longer lasting Vinland would have produced anything similar. Perhaps the disease thing would still happen, but it would look like a larger Greenland than anything like Jamestown. There simply isn’t the boatloads of population waiting to be trucked over the sea, the medicine or sailing technology to really make it feasible, or the resources in Canada to make it profitable. Maybe some communities of people that slowly meld with and adapt to North American life but nothing so drastic as Columbus. Columbus had a centralized mercantile empire behind him interested in exploration and conquest for wealth and power. The Norse explorers had no such thing and Vinland was simply too far and not hospitable enough to explode in the same way that European settler colonies would centuries later. No real chance of them being worse either.

@@Condobius Also, judging by the way Vikings behaved in Britain, Ireland, Russia, etc, I expect they would have _started_ as brutal raiders and conquorers, but within a very few generations would have settled down, merged into the local culture, adopting their names, religion, language, etc.

Wait, have you seen the video of Andy's impression of Jackson Crawford? Gonna be an awkward collab after that. 😆

What kind of drink is Viking's Blood? I'm not sure we get imports of it here

@@TOBAPNW_ Mead. There's a wine shop by me that sells it.

@@chrisbonin2174 ah, that does make sense. As an Antipodean I am still not convinced I would necessarily have access, however, should I come across a bottle, I will most assuredly partake of the sweet elixir; as the Dane forefathers of old (when they weren't chucking back cosmos)
