    Mead and ale aren't the same thing. The mead lasted a month, hence the origin of the term "honeymoon."

      Yup, those in European "low countries" also served mead, ales & beers... Every drink creation depended what was available! The "woman" of the house made the ales & beers. The various grades, like dark, light & medium, were all based on how long they fermented. Mead is unlike the regular ales & 🍻 beers. Instead of grains to fermented the brews Mead is made with honey! Wines, of course, are created using grape juices of specialty types of grapes like Merlots w/ red & Chardonnay w/ white...

    I unintentionally planned a Viking wedding for us 😂. We rented a large airbnb to host about 10 of our closest friends and family. I have a simple but beautiful dress and the headpiece should be delivered soon. We’re exchanging axes (axe throwing was our first date) along with our rings on a mountain. We are doing a hand fasting ritual and we’ll have a BBQ feast for the reception with special Celtic cups for hubby and me. I cannot wait for April to come and I get to marry my best friend

    I kinda wish we'd still marry with business in mind. I'm not saying that love shouldn't be a factor! I just think that love shouldn't be the ONLY factor. A healthy marriage doesn't survive on feelings alone, so they shouldn't be entered with only feelings in mind. If we enter a marriage with a set of goals, then we make those goals our business, not just a pleasurable dream, and we would likely be much more successful.

      @@Heather-xm9ul i think arranged marriage is still pretty common in India or maybe South Asia too...? You should ask them if they're good with it. I dont know what factors they consider for the arranged marriage, but i do heard about how some of them are having hard time to accept each other because they aren't even close.
      I also think just a month or two ago two chaebols (very rich people) from Korea married each other, if I recall, both of their parents own two very big companies. So its definitely a marriage with business in mind.
      It's definitely interesting! With how low birth rate are in all over the world nowadays, I can see arranged marriage being brought back.

    as you are a history channel… i just wanted to point out a few things
    -horned helmets were never worn (nor would they have been effective) but were created for theatrical effect for an opera by richard wagner (from which you might know the song “ride of the valkyries”. which i can say almost everyone knows they just don’t know the name or origin)
    -vikings were only the “pirates” of the tribe or village, and the “viking age” was from the 8th-11th century approximately however these traditions pre-date the viking age in many cases and post-date it in others.
    -the term “viking culture” doesn’t really mean anything, while “viking-age norse culture” (or medieval norse culture” would make more sense. you can call it petty to point this out, but we don’t call medieval british culture “knight culture”
    -
    I won’t get into the religious inaccuracies or mispronunciations since those are to be somewhat expected from a modern american who hasn’t researched this deeply. I write this comment not to be an asshole, only to educate.

I mean, if you went to a Chicago Bulls game in the early 90s and Mike was on the bench you probably ask for your money back. Or like when you pick up your cup of tea and 😮 surprise it's Pepsi.

      And not every modern marriage is about love, some people still marry for other reasons.
      Just because exceptions to it exist, doesn't mean the rule isn't, well, the rule.
      And all of that is beside the point anyway, since the video is about things we might find weird with how different their customs were compared to ours, and some slight hyperbole to prove the point isn't meant to be taken as statements of absolute truth.

      With vikings it tended to be more so than not. Peaceful, that is. Or I should say the Nordic. They were superior in warfare and were much more of a threat. It was easier to convert them by playing nice and pretending their gods were real...but Christians saw them as angels and saints. And to let them keep many of their practices such as the Xmas tree...

      She'd kick your ass and smell worse than a barn animal. Besides, none of us would be manly enough for a Norse woman... unless you're a psychopath. Our values are too different, but I admit that the fantasy is fun.

    Was it true that new brides were gifted cats as a wedding present?

    • @pawwalker3492
      @pawwalker3492 Рік тому +3

      I heard that too. Cats were associated with the goddess of love, Freyja, who rode a cart drawn by a team of cats.
      It's believed that kittens were a common wedding gift for the bride in order for her to be able to set up her new household. Vikings loved cats. They brought their large, longhaired cats on their sea journey to North America.
      This is why our Maine Coon Cats - Vikings had settlements in that area - look so much like their Forest Cats.

    If a woman married a man, but had a son from a previous marriage, the son would be forced to witness the consumation of the marriage. I wonder if the step fathers got off on it.

    Honestly their weddings sound very similar to ours legal stuff bachlor and bachelorette parties the ceremony then reception/dinner and then sex and the honeymoon just with a lot more grave robbing swords and invoking the gods blessings repeatedly like animal scrafices hammers on the bride and such.

    I’ve learned previo, that Friday is named after the Norse god freir, not frigg 🤔

    • @mattyt1961
      @mattyt1961 Рік тому

      Freya is also called Frigg and the day is named after her.
      Freyr (freir as you spell it) is the brother of Freya (Freyja). The pronunciation of Freyr & Freya can be very similar and if you don't catch the A on Freya then it can be very easy to confuse the two when spoken, at least it was for me. even written they can be easily confused with the highly anglicised versions (Freyr & Freya) being so similar.

    • @EarnestBunbury
      @EarnestBunbury Рік тому

      Yes, indeed. But I was explicitly referring to Freir. He was one of the highest Wanen, the fruitily gods, that got worshiped prior the crimson Asen (Odin, Thor…). It is a beautiful example of cultural change. After the Norse culture started raiding, they required gods that care about fighting and a glorious afterlife for the warriors.
      The previous farmers cared more about fruitily and short winters.
      You’ve mentioned Freya, Freir’s sister. Her marriage to Odin symbolizes the merger of two cultures
