The Viking Age: Every Year 

Thanks, but in truth it is Ollie's work, I did the research :)

@@VologdaMapping You should add viking raids and england tour of vikings.There should be viking campaigns on the map.Dont forget viking conquest of paris.

I see what you did there ;)

Carthaginians propably, read about it.

@czajnik32 That is a far fetched theory with no supporting evidence. edit - added in an @ saying you clowns are necroing a 6 year old comment.

Except for the supporting evidence like... FRICKING FOUNDATIONS FOR HOUSES AND LONGHOUSES AND IT MATCHES WHAT'S DESCRIBED IN THE SAGAS. This has been *known* for a long time now. What history books do you read? If they're fromthe 1960s-80s that'd make sense.

czajnik32 i dont think there is enough evidence for that, anyway cartheginians were canaanites not europeans.

Lots and lots of research. I've been studying stuff like this for 5 years but this was just impressive XD There's also lots of sagas and records that he could have read from

That'd be difficult 🤪 But interesting! But some of the settlements in Mercia and York have been lost to time. Middle Thorpe and Grimsby are viking cities still inhabited today though!

Kattegatt is a sea. The one at the western coast of Sweden, eastern coast of Denmark and south of Norway

@@rullvard8245 haha thank you

It’s a made up city

I think it was where some of our most feared clans came from. One of our christian kings kept invading to convert your ancestors but they beat him each and every time XDDDD The only way he succeeded was by deceiving them pretty much. Trønderlag is very beautiful 🙂

Yes, after we've uploaded the full version on Ollie's channel

@@VologdaMapping as always an awesome video! Would it be possible for me to also use this video in my latest project with proper attribution of course? PS if allowed I would use a silent version.

Vologda Mapping I’m always so jealous of your talents, haha! Great stuff.

Yeah, we were pretty tough back in the day with amazing stories 🤣 Nothing like modern Norway 😒

MS Paint

The term Småland comes from the small lands that existed before, I thought it made sense to name it Smolandia when they were united.

Yeah, I guess that makes sense in lack of a better name :)

He didn't use any of the names of the lands in this time so I personally wouldn't hold much of a grudge against him 🙂

Ragnar Lodbrok and Björn

I wasn't aware the Danes or Jutes every conquered all of southern Sweden. I thought it was just Skåne, Blekinge, and the other province I forget the name of 😅 Oh well, no mapping video is ever going to be completely accurate. Depending on the scale and speed, some historical accuracy will be lost along the way. You are summing up centuries and thousands of lives up into a 2 minute video after all

Yeah... I wanted to show the North Sea Empire, but Ollie prefered to show it a different way

The so-called "North Sea Empire" isn't the real name of any state. It's a retrospective term used by modern historians. What's shown in this video is the way it actually was, with a regard for the complex nature of Medieval European politics.

Thank you for the reply. I guess the Title misled me - maybe Scandinavia during the Vikings would be clearer?

NUEVO HEMRES So it fills the whole video so details can be shown more clearly

It never existed

Yes, and it is shown as such in the video too

@@VologdaMapping But the colours says something else

@@eliasroos8 That’s because it wasn’t independent all the time. When it is beige it is independent, when it is blue it is vassalized by Norway and when it is yellow it is vassalized by Sweden.

@@VologdaMapping Kinda sure it was

Sweden, probably Svitjod

@@rullvard8245 nah, no one really knows tho he was probably Danish. His father Sigurd Ringh was also Danish but Ruled svitjod.

he didn't exist

Svitjod I believe, and some in Denmark which I don't know. He was a Swedish and Danish king after all

This is the year most historians agree the Viking Age ended, the main event is called the Battle of Stamford Bridge if you want to look it up.

Why? Whether you use AD/BC and CE/BCE doesn't matter, both are the same anyway. CE/BCE is just AD/BC with different names.

Better still, why is it BC (Before Christ) instead AAD (Ante Annum Domini)

Novgorod later vassalizes some parts of northern Scandinavia

but they have no viking heritage or?

Yes they do, a lot actually, I think the city Novgorod was even founded by Viking settlers, then the descendants of the Viking settlers and the indigenous Rus' founded the Kievan Rus' .

the first protorussian state (The Rus/Novgorodian Rus later Kievian Rus) is litelary founded by vikings who became leaders of the slavic commonfolk. The first Russian dynasty the Rurik has nordic origins, Rurik is NOT a russian name

@@VologdaMapping yes, Holmgard or Holmgård was founded by Rus or the Swedish Vikings who went east.

What about it?

@Caner Many Swedes raided and traded in the Byzantine Empire. Some of them even became body guards

@@rullvard8245 Byzantine empire has nothing to do with turkey

@@faustogiorno2300 ??? Byzantine literally was Greece and Turkey. I know Turkey didn't exist and shit but wtf

@@rullvard8245 There were NO turks in the Byzantine empire. Because it has the same lands that the turks nowadays own, doesn't mean that it's theirs. It's was purely a greek empire

@@faustogiorno2300 It's _Roman empire_

Which ones were those?

One glaring one is that you follow the Heimskringla account of the unification of Norway
