The History of the Vikings in England (AD. 793 - AD. 1066) 

Hahahahah mee 2

SAme!

Same same

You'll also have to watch the history TV series "The Vikings" which is now in Amazon Video too.

@@DavBlc7 Vikings is about as historically accurate as Samurai fighting for the Saxons

matthew bayliss 😂

Max Kaufmann 😂😂😂😂😂

@matthew bayliss well that sounds like a you problem

Well eggs in Old English is...Ægru so didn't change all too much

Eggcellent

pablo ramos take note muslims

We'll be back. 😉

yea they can probably fly as well

@dryef don Unfortunately ,you are right

@Baba Yaga it's strange, Europe must be coloured but Africa is in an opposite Situation.

The Italian Baron there was a least one frisian there

The Frisians were in the same boat as the Angles and Saxons

I am friesian, a lot of words are familiar to me

Dre S same

✊🏾

Dre S at least _some people_ research their history before playing/getting the game

@lenny Murphy Did you?

@lenny Murphy I’m just wondering why your watching this video? Because if it’s to learn ANYTHING then your idiotic comment would be redundant you fuck wit. ‘Did you go to school?’ 🤔 Unless your going video to video about different histories to call other people stupid because your a human school textbook, wtf does your question mean? ....idiot.

Forgotten Soul Got a video on the Last Kingdom out tonight actually ;)

🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️ Meeee! Didnt know Uhtred was an actual Earl tho.

Destiny is ALL

Uthred son of Uthred, Uthred Ragnarson, Uthred of Bebbanburg and.... Osbert?

Yes

LoudRegent60 😂😂😂 how did you guess

How’d you know? I was doing my research

Lenny Murphy get out of here Lenny you fucking nerd. Of course he went to school otherwise he wouldn’t be able to type or even comprehend how RU-vid works. Go try to start stupid shit in your speech and debate class.

You guys were pretty savage back then

Yeah you'd have to be crazy to risk crossing the North Sea in the middle of winter in those boats. I know they were brave men but that's plain suicidal.

History Time See the poll on his channel

Norwegian Danish English is almost exactly the same thing

@@kenny5577 yes definitely after the many historical events, they have become very similar, and I would argue much richer culturally!

And German, and French, and Irish, and probably others. There is almost certainly nothing especially Norwegian about you. That’s not how it works, and usually people who cling to this incorrect view of ethnicity or “I’m mostly Viking/Dane/German etc” are usually the type to be desperate for their own identity, and it’s often on a foundation of racism, or atleast exceptionalism, which is basically the same thing.

What about African

@@luiznunes1404 paternal is Jamaican :)

@@ChantelStays By the way you look, you’re most Jamaican/African than anything

@@luiznunes1404 pretty sure it doesn't matter....? I'm half black half white. Black genes usually predominate when it comes to features. I resonate more with my maternal side bottom line Also married a Norwegian/Irishman and my daughter's are peachy white with blonde hair and green eyes. Genes are funny. My comment about my heritage and about me being proud to be Danish and Irish has nothing to do with the way I look.

@@ChantelStays Are you ashamed of being black? Why didn’t you married a black guy who looks like you, then you childrens would look like you too? Don’t mind me, I am just a curious person.

Nah man

@@rustybench3334 nah man to what?

@@tobilikebacon I forgot

@@rustybench3334 lol

Brian Dennis If a video is done about Ireland, I’d love to see him talk about Ivar The Boneless and Olaf The White.

k0vert What da heck is your profile pic!

A fish in a turkey. Nothing out of the ordinary.

k0vert Lmao, did do you actually stuff the fish in there yourself?

Nah, just happened upon it on the interwebz and the rest is history. WITH HILBERT

k0vert Haha nice one.

a different kind of sweets than your traditionalist ideas of it

it means sweets in northern slang hahaha, however has also taken on a more of a psychedelic form too

HadynHarris I’m from Manchester and not once has someone spoke to me and said Ket meaning sweet it’s not mothers slang at all mate 😂

Arachnids Gaming not really that northern mate i live near newcastle and its very common up here

HadynHarris fair enough then so ur a jordi

@@GeorgeNicol. The Vikings (except for the bandits) where a noble people. Most of the slander was written 200 years after the viking age by Christian Jews that settled in Europe. If you watch this video again, it isn't hard to figure out why.

@@melkor3496yeah I've seen tag idiotic video. It's a cinematic trailer dude. That video is the very definition of nitpicking.

Shaheen Ziyard How dare you. XD

@Loke ok so? At least the Vikings don't have horns on there helmets 24/7

Great series of books.

Being from Durham it always interested me, Gan yem dose sound like danish ga hjem, you also have Beck - stream, oot - out, Barin - child, but they are probably Anglo Saxon (old English) as old English and old Norse are very similar and are cousins of each other, both come from Ingvaeonic Germanic languages. Remember the Angles emergrated from Jutland where Danish 'Vikings' later came from, they did a documentary not long ago to see if the north-east had Viking ancestry, Sir walter bodmer (geneticist at oxford) found that "three quarters of the regional gene pool tested in the North East matches the Anglo Saxon genetic signature" but "it is impossible to distinguish between the Danish Vikings and Anglo-Saxons, because they are same" so I guess we will never know, one thing is for sure we in the North-East do share a common DNA ancestry with our Danish Viking cousins.

Evil Limey that’s really interesting. Actually just a large part of regular English is also derived from old Norse, which is why it’s really easy for Scandinavians like me to learn English. The names of weekdays are an obvious example.

I live in hull and we/older people say bane meaning child

@@rustybench3334 same learned recently aswell when we say 'ta' for thank you it's derived from 'tak' which is thank you in Scandinavian countries

@@2_mutch wow, I had no idea about this. It's very common in Australia too. We (Aussies) all shorten 'thank you' to 'ta'.

For sure!

But no bone.

Pfsif You're confusing that with now.

Probably because they sold loads of tickets....

@Roccio O'RoganThere is now.

Thanks for the reminder, it's in there now! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-liyM7pTiGeY.html

I was saying the same thing xD

Still pretty sweet tho...

All English people have Danish ancestry. Ironically geneticist simultaneously say Anglo-Saxon and Danish DNA is identical, than say England has little to no Danish DNA. How could they tell the difference if its identical? 😂 I trustly can safely assume I got Danish ancestry and blood. No differentiation. Btw Jutes and Angles aren't Danes. They just lived in what is now happened stance the same country. Its like calling Cherokee and Navajo the same because both are from the U.S. The Angles are called Angles for a reason. Different tribe.

@Carmicha3l Well, Anglos and Saxon where both from north germany/danmark who invaded just a few centuries before the vikings.

@Carmicha3l so true... got my whole family done with the Ancestry dna test. mum was 95% anglo saxon 5% Celt and dad was almost split irish anglo. yet I had Euro Germanic dna and my sister had Swedish Dna. So in other words they really cant tell.

The Saxon was not as strong as the Norse it's like posh estate meets rough estate when the Norse Vikings founded Irish cities in 795 ad the Anglo Saxon were unprepared for the battle's that would follow in the following centuries Brian Boru defeated the Norse Irish in 1012 but the Anglo Saxon lost to the Norse in 1066 the point is that Anglo Saxon Is posh estate whereas Norse Vikings are tough estate

True although funnily enough the Angles and Saxons originally came from NW Germany and part of Denmark I believe. It just shows how fluid the various tribe movements were. They pretty much assimilated the Normans in the next century.

Everyone knows this fun fact, but few people know that Godwinson was much more Danish than William (Godwinson = a literal Danish mother while William's last actual Danish ancestor was his great great great grandfather Rollo)

@@LeHappiste Yeah William's heritage was more Frankish than Danish

Let's be fair. Every Englishman probably has Danish, or Norwegian ancestry (be it Norse control in parts of England or Normans)

I mean, Anglo Saxons are from Modern day Denmark and North Germany... So it has always been one big family fighting over the same island.

AC Valhalla is historically very inaccurate. I am a bit disappointed playing it right now. Odyssey and Origins were historically more accurate.

@@shadowgamer4653 more along the lines of the time period is what I watched the video for. I'll never take a video game seriously.

@@shadowgamer4653 wow a game about two secret societies fighting each other throughout history is unrealistic 😂

@@danilthorstensson8902 Looks like you dont know much about the franchise Assassins Creed in general. Ubisift takes much care about historical accuracy of the games. How the buildings look like, the clothes, the language and so on. Btw. mate. Unrealistic and inaccurate are two very different things. Historical inaccuracy for example is how the churches in England in the 9th century looked like and how they look like in the game. Most churches were wooden constructions while in AC Valhalla, almost every church is a stone building. This is just one example of what I mean with historical inacurracy. And this is actually a shame for Ubisoft. They normaly work with historians when developing their AC games. For Origins and Odyssey they hired international TOP historians to make the games as accurate as possible. Assassins Creed Odyssey Discovery Tour is even used in schools to show students how the greek world back then really looked like. Inform yourself ;)

sounds like some wonky sweets alright

Yeh man this crazy asf spin out to man good to listen to

@@swevykilla9228 yeah enjoying it myself...age of empires 2 definitive edition does the campaign on this era aswell

@Craig Benz True Dat! The Maps brought much clarity into the Battle History, but got me (a dude in the USA) thinking. In the near future, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom could team up and re-take America in a three-way! That is, until we launch three F-35s coupled with a "tag-a-long" USAF KC-10 Extender Refuel Airship.

Finland is Finno-Urgic. Their relatives are near the Urals.

The Swedes had been in contact with the Finns and Estonians for a long time even before the ''Viking Age'', (trading and creating settlements in Finland and so on), so they kinda had a relationship already. The Swedes who ventured out from Roslagen, the coastal area between Stockholm and Gävle, seems to be the origin for both the name ''Rus'' and the Finnish name for Sweden, which is ''Ruotsi''. There's a alot of theories, but to me it seems to be a connection there, no doubt about it. The Rus (Swedes from Roslagen), went on expedtions East, into modern day Russia and founded alot of settlements and colonies there. With them on these journeys there were surely alot of Finns and perhaps Estonians aswell. Together with Slavic people already inhabiting the area, they formed the foundation of Russia - the land of the Rus. The Rus are best known in history as the Varangian Guard to the Byzantine (Greek) Empire. It became a tradition for big, sturdy Scandinavian and Rus adventurers to be recruited as body guards, and this continued for several hundred years, way into the Medieval period.

goff0103 No! The Mongols are in the Kalmykh Republic. No connection.

Prussia Ball SWEDEN IS OVERLOOKED???????

Swedens vikings went down through the rivers of europe instead, focusing a bit more on trade. They went down to konstantinopel and met with muslims in Turkey. They also started colonies together with local people in what today is Ukraine which later became the kingdom Kiev Russ, which in turn became Russia. Finland was not a viking state. It was occupied by Sweden during the middle ages and before that had its own semi-slavic/semi-nordic culture.

After 1066 the Varangian guard suddenly had an influx of Anglo Saxons refugees, so much so that there were too many to take into it, these were used as auxiliaries by the Byzantine Empire. They were granted land in northern Anatolia and settled for about 100 years on the Crimea before the were over one, destroyed or assimilated. This area was called New England and had towns called Sussex etc.

@@FromaTwistedMind yeah i sore that report about chimera new england there were anglo saxon incription and other stuff in the churches there some people say they were put there later by saxon merchants but some people in academic circles don't want the accoation there but except that the area was settled by eastern rome .

didn't it refer to the bull heads on the ships, so the horns of the bulls?

@@ivodewispelaere9137 nah, not all of them used bull heads on ships. From what I've picked up over the years, more often you would see dragon head, or sometimes horse head effigies on ships. The bull was more of a male fertility animal to the vikings, so having a bull head carved on the ship wouldn't make as much sense to them as having a dragon head, symbolizing fierceness in battle, or a horse head symbolizing endurance.

Diego Ragot i dont think that's his area of expertise

James Atherton who can be? (Western)

Diego Ragot I have no idea sorry man

James Atherton ok, don't worry

@Bill The Bull Gates no 1 or 2 min. I enjoyed informing you.

My Norwegian partner forever insists English is actually a Scandinavian language. The invasion is still going strong 😂

@@ldr7125 We are often told that England comes from Angloland. Yet I was reading the other day that in Scotland they spell it Ingland. Well Ing was the original name for the old Norse god Yngvi, god of the common people so Ing- land makes more sense as it means the land of the common people. Which fits very well, because all the 'Anglo Saxon' settlers were common farmers who interestingly never referred to themselves as Anglo Saxon. While Ing was the god of the Common people, Freyr was the god of fertility and the upper classes and legendary ancestor of the Swedish royal family, so perhaps you wife is on to something.

Yup

AC fan here! I am looking forward to it!! HA

my youtube feed took me here!

Shut up

No, school. But that too.
