  • Nearly 1,000 years ago, the Vikings left Scandinavia and settled across Europe - spreading fear and horror in their wake. They gave their name to Normandy along the way - before their Norman descendants seized the English throne at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. But what do we really know about them?

    A constructive criticism id like to point out. There are few good sources of Norse history to this level of complete detail, which i am happy your program shares. However i struggle with vision and often listen to you tube more so than watch it. It would be awesome to have foreign commentary translated after its spoke natively for english speakers. Just a suggestion. Thank you still for this knowledge.

      They just followed the coast and rivers. Along such places there are always towns, very easy to navigate.
      Pretty sure this is also why they are called 'vikings'. Namely, they went from vík to vík, from town to town.

Then took over northern Francia, Normandy,... Then! Then the Normans ,(Vikings) took over England AGAIN! All while becoming the elite guard of Eastern Roman Constantinople, and stuck around when the Turks took it. ... And all while founding Russia ! The Vikings got some shit done, baby 😉👊

    Thank you for not assuming all your viewers are ignorant monolinguists. That stereotype really bugs me, especially when channels use it as an excuse to dumb down what the experts they interview say. They start off with the expert speaking before the translator speaks over the expert for the rest of that segment, and the little bit of the original audio that was audible is just enough to tell that the "translation" is a gross oversimplification. If I wanted that, I'd watch the History Channel.

      The vast majority of the world IS monolingual, you dunce. If you want a video made in your native language, make it yourself, or ask your own why they haven't made one. It isn't up to English speakers to cater to those who aren't. The French don't go making content in English, for the sake of English speakers. You don't see Germans, Poles, or the Chinese doing it, either. We use subtitles, and read them, like educated adults.
      If you're truly multilingual, English shouldn't be a problem. English is the global standard for business, trade, aviation, and a myriad of other industries. If you took the time to learn more than one language, and one of them isn't English, that's a YOU problem.

    I enjoyed the documentary. Let's not play with words. Pirates are thieves who use boats. It is impossible to live on a boat with a group of people. For her to use that statement to define a pirate is very strange. Anyone who has studied pirate operations throughout history knows they are not lawless between themselves. There are strict laws they must obey on land and on ships. They may spend time on the water, but a vast majority of pirates' lives are on land. Even in the 16th-18th centuries. You need food, water, and sanity. All things land provides.
    Do you think Islamic pirates who kept Europe in the dark were lawless savages who didn't know anything? The Islamic world was vastly superior to Europe during this time. Our knowledge and technology weren't far behind, but very noticeable.
    A Norse individual who is sailing to take plunder and slaves is a viking. The people from Scandinavia in the 7th - 11th century should not be referred to as vikings. The word should never be capitalized unless it's the Minnesota Vikings or the Viking Era. It has to be a name, not a type of pirate.

      Important post you made and it is peculiar how they bring up lawlessness, as if somebody somehow would expect vikings to adhere english laws as foreigners attacking a monastery to pillage. There was no FN at this time regulating laws between countries. Piracy/theft and raid have alot in common though. Seafaring pirates did plan what to attack and pillage just as vikings did however vikings were what you would call professional warriors.

      Viking is an old Norse word so yes Scandinavians from the period is referred to as Vikings, Vikings funded nations like Russia, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, plus Normandy and ruled England, they were explorers settled in Greenland, sailed to Canada, they were master ship builders, created jewelry,weapons, build churches, traded even more than raided, married into European royal families and much more , what did pirates build? what nation did they belong to? , you clearly aren't a Scandinavian so don't tell us who can use the word Viking and for what , people also say Pharaoh to describe an ancient Egyptian King, but it doesn't mean King, it means "the big house" like the Palace the King lived in, there is another word for King, however everyone know what we are talking about when we say Pharaoh, if we use the term Norse it goes way beyond the Viking age, before and after, and a lot of people confuse it with Norweigians, if we say Norman people confuse it with Normandy and again Norweigians, so we say Vikings when we speak about Norse/Scandinavian history in the Viking age whether they went Viking or not

    Some good points concerning the transition of the Vikings BUT....missed the point that there were two Danish Viking attacks on Norman England. The first was an invasion in 1069-1070 conducted in alliance with various English rebels which succeeded in taking first York and then Ely before the Danes finally accepted a bribe to leave the country. The second was a large-scale raid in 1075, intended to support the Revolt of the Earls, in which the Lincolnshire coast and York were both ravaged. A third attack was planned in 1085, and a large invasion fleet comprising Danish, Flemish and Norwegian vessels was gathered, but it never sailed. All three attacks were motivated by a claim on the English throne asserted originally by Cnut the Great's nephew Sweyn II, king of Denmark (r.1047-1076), and maintained by later Danish kings until as late as the 13th century. PLUS the Norman involvement in deciding the Popes in Rome, Sicily, south Italy, Eastern Roman Empire, Rus in Ukraine, Crusades, creation of Portugal and Spain.....and more

      Someone hasn't ever read a history book, and it shows. Saxxons were an invading and occupying Germanic force. They only came to inhabited the British Isles because they slaughtered the Picts, Britons, and Gaels. The Saxxons were pagans, as well, and only converted to Catholicism at the end of a Roman sword. Same goes for the Angols. Crying because the sons of pagans killed the grandsons of pagans only makes you look like a fool.

It is one of the most numerous haplogroups among European males, being the second largest paternal lineage found on the continent (second only to the R lineage). Its I1 branch is related to Nordic Europe, ancestor of Germanic tribes and Vikings, while I2 is strongly related to Neolithic cultures.
