It's been a while since I made a historical tour so here's an hour long one on the Viking World at the beginning of the Eleventh Century! Don't forget to like and subscribe if you enjoyed the vid and let me know the comments what tours you'd like to see in the future in a similar style!
Already liked, all ready subscribed. Excellent video. I consume every little snippet of the history of my Viking ancestors that I can find. My last name is Barney, the Anglicized version of Bjarni. Perhaps I'm a descendant of Bjarni himself.
Such a great video! A tour of the holy roman empire at this time would be great. Although I know they had a ridiculous number of duchies and regions.
what happened to your viking age brittany video?
PLEASE DO A FEW VIDEOS ABOUT MESO-AMERICA! Olmec, Neolithic tribes of north and South America old and modern ones. (Native americans, Amazonian tribes, Incan empire, Mayans, Aztec, Mississippi culture, Anasazi, etc. Mayan history goes back to 2000 bce at some settlements. A lot of which coincides with history you’ve already covered. Would be awesome to see it covered by you!!
I love that music at the start btw
When a youtuber does better work than the history channel, history is changing.
Thanks so much Lui. Appreciate it.
Lol
The History Channel is a complete joke now. Bigfoot and reality versions of the Antiques Roadshow is all they do now
HAHAHA TRUE!
@paperchasin23 you forgot Patton and Stalin
History IS changing.Check out Grahom Hancock ,John Anthony West,Robert Schoch(sp) etc and then see if you believe the official version of the Pyramid or Egyptology in general.Implausible.
"Unfortunately for them, the world came looking... on dragon headed longboats." - That line alone would inspire me to subscribe to you, if I wasn't already. Incredible.
When you learn better history on UA-cam than in school; that’s when you know the school system is a joke
school is done I think in another 5 years it'll be obsolete
@@kiklocus4660 lol what a silly statement
Well, reading and listening aren't some people's strong suits.
Depending on the youtuber and how well read and versed he is, you can learn far much on here rather than public schools where it has become politic segregationist propoganda re-education camp.
@@grimmlight4541 stop believing everything you read on facebook
The Vikings were truly amazing
*EviL DeMonic Savages, CUT each Others Throats!!!!*
I have a feeling they are the much feared sea people lol
Justin Martyr it was a war society
they were rapists and looters.
@@aced5557 no they were thiefs. pirates.
I am constantly amazed by the amount and depth of information you provided on these videos. You provide a non biased detailed account of a issue and throw out what I call, “Look! A shiny!” that spurs me into searching out the details you alluded to, and learning more than I did in school or from my own research.
I am a history addict, and my name is Eric. Thank you!
This channel is one of the most interesting ones on UA-cam. Fascinating stories of our past.
Thanks for watching. So much more on the way!
"Books, books and more books" - wisdom beyond count.
I thought he was gonna say Google.
The music is simply marvelous. It engulfs you in that period of time!
Best narrator I've heard so far on youtube. In contrast to other channels, you don't speak too fast nor too slow.
I agree but find his voice so soothing that it send me to sleep after a while......not complaining.......I probably need to sleep.....lol!
GREAT narrator, GREAT text. He really takes me away on voyages to the past. Thank you!!!
He sounds like Ewan McGregor
Yeah, he sounds like Ewan McGregor, which I dislike. Sounds like a little boy in a dreamland. Cute, but not at all what I want in a documentary. I didn't even finish because of the narrator. Bleh.
These men were beyond BRAVE! I cannot imagine going through that! Vikings were brutal, but I do respect them. Poor guys!
This was such a well made documentary. The visual mapping was great and really helped understand the content 👏 👍
Ooopop0ppopooloopoooo0oo0po
U look like ur related to the Vikings lol. I think u got those Scandinavian genes
Come to roskilde, we have lots of viking ships.
Made the right way, with the right tools
You have the best listening voice EVER and the Nordic bronze age is my favorite.
Hi Pete,any chance of a documentary on the Gaelic Irish Kingdoms,pre British& Viking occupation?
Absolutely awesome work brother, really impressive 🇮🇪♥️
When it comes to north European history (Germanic, Celtic, Slav and Finn) you are the champ, doing exactly that which I have wanted to see for decades and learn from. You have done GREAT work and like you say learned so much from the audiobooks (although I love the act of reading in itself) ! Truly awesome, exciting and and very informative! I cannot praise your work enough! Better than the BBC or anyone else on this subject!
@@vladdrakul7851 ok , I'm not going to read all you're comment , because I'm not willing to spend worth time on it , but I have a question. Did you got you're daily dose of zyklonB ?
@@gillesderais2457 Of course not, avoid anything that might threaten your programmed reality denial. You just keep you eyes wide shut and you brain turned off. You are a most excellent but a so very insecure SERF! Your Nazi friends would put you in the death camps along with the other untermensch and in your case would be quite correct in doing so! Ciao!
1000 AD was truly remarkable. The geographical and cultural scope was so much to take in, but you were careful not to over garnish any of it. Thanks muchly for this one.
I'm surprised The History Channel hasn't picked you up yet. This hour episode was amazing. Thank you!
If the history channel picked him up he'd have to add aliens and stick a pawnshop somewhere.
History channel is fake history.
@@johnf6267 you mean to say ancient aliens isn't based on history 😱.
I love how you called him "the mighty bernard cornwall"
He is definitely the king of historical fiction
Q: What's scarier than Vikings?
A: Christianized, heavily armoured Vikings on horses.
AU
AIDS
Normans ?
@Sigtrygg Ironside Agreed. We are living in a new pagan era, where pretty well everything Jesus ever taught or stood for, is being discarded even by many who call themselves Christians out of sheer hubris and ignorance... and who vote for folks who have absolutely NO moral principles or Christ-like attributes at all. These are Perilous Times indeed.
@@altareggo Christianity is the only religion that can be discriminated against, and nobody will say a thing. Christians are being harassed and murdered around the world at alarming rates, and the Bible is being banned by many countries. Many people will call this a good thing. We live in a messed up time...
A documentarian with a little knowledge. Like this half wit.
SKRAELINGS! Sounds like something from Skyrim.
Your editing, narration and voice are perfect as usual. Great video.
I've learned so much by watching your videos about my ancestors the Norwegians it is fantastic thank you...
You're Irish
My family still has connections to our farm in the "Land of Warriors" Hadland Norway. Which is just north of Oslo. (My mother's cousin went there during WWII on a mission for the OSS, and met & married another cousin, and stayed. So we still go back to the family farm.) I can see where the strength comes from they had a harsh, sharsh existence during the cold ice age. So, after the lands warmed the population boomed. These subsistence farmers just survived during most of the year, they lived in a dark winter -- living off stored food, stored fats, and fasting. They had a couple months in the summer to make everything. It makes a person tough.
this is how survivors are forged! :) amazing
I'm totally honored by what you do for us! Awesome video!
Thanks Eddie
Your documentaries are better than most all documentaries on television. Thank you, seriously man thank you.
Thank you. Your videos are always accurate. My fave channel
All I can say is thank you for all your hard work with this project! You managed to include a tremendous amount of information about this period and peoples. Most importantly, you have given the the deepest and most detailed account of "the Viking Age" I have EVER come across. I am deeply endebted to you.
I like when he explains that the norsemen first of all were settlers, traders and explorers. For I guess many see them first of all as raiders/badass people.
no, they raided only seasonally...as a pastime when they could not farm the land
Most were NOT raiders. The Norse were farmers first and foremost. Raiding occurred as a means of survival and not aimless violence
@@ChillPillDyl facts its real life my guy at the end of the day they're still like us. You wouldnt go invade some city and put you and your people in danger like that because you felt like it.
@world leader Ok lets break this down. Viking is an occupation, NOT the term for all the Nordic region. There were Vikings all over the world, because if you traveled to trade, pillaging, etc, then you're a Viking.
Keep in mind that OP used the term Norsemen and not Vikings. You assumed I was talking about Vikings, which I wasn't at all, but I don't blame the assumption.
The Norsemen weren't all Vikings, because most of the population were farmers and traders that stayed within their homeland and cared for their people. Majority of the population during the Viking Age WEREN'T VIKINGS. They were farmers and traders.
Now were the Vikings we understand from TV Shows and some historical texts like Adam of Bremen and Tacitus' Germania seen as killers - absolutely. But were all people during the Viking Age killers and rapists - absolutely not. The Vikings aren't to be glorified, because obviously there were many atrocities they committed. But to broad stroke the Nordic/Germanic peoples during the Viking Age as rapists, and to say that I was glorifying them, is extraordinarily off base.
Of course. They were all gay, black and eco warriors too? Get real.
Watching these videos with this presenter is as good as a bedtime story.......I find myself intrigued and then feel so comforted that I'm not living in these harsh and challenging times that I find myself dozing off.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
Thank you "History Time" for this fascinating documentary. Loved the commentary and the maps. What I did hate, was UA-cam's insidious ads for SHIT I have no interest in.
Excellent video! Not at all what I was expecting. Really enjoyed it. This is the most detailed and thorough presentation on the subject, I've ever seen.
Being a history buff and in my 60's, even I learned about things I never knew.
Thank you for making these videos, and for keeping the audio at a pace where we have time to mentality process what you're saying.
I agree with you about Audible, but also very much appreciate your distilling of all those sources, so that we can benefit from them and enjoy your version.
Youre so right! Books are where you get the good stuff. I was a documentary junkie for 30 years, than i started reading books. I thought i knew it all, but i was wrong. But i love your videos because theyre so accurate.
Fascinating stuff! Well presented and very informative. Thankyou very much. Fills the void that good tv left. 🤗
Oh my god this is fantastic - this is the first sort of pop-history I've seen that actually makes a point of mentioning Bjarni (and the various differences found in the context of the Vinland sagas) alongside Leif Eriksson!
What a wealth of amazing information. I know now where my ancestors came from. Thank you for video.
You have got a Richard Attenborough style/authority about your voice. Your videos are fantastic. Love it!
I love History Time videos. The quality both of the research and the technical and editorial work is phenomenal!
Could you do something on the Baltic countries, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia? There is very little and most of it is barely a footnote.
My mothers family comes from Norway. Ive recently began to study their history. Incredible stuff, thanks so much for these videos.
Where I live, it seems everyone has Norwegian ancestry, but I just realized that we never hear about Norwegian history. We've got lefse, lutefisk, the sons of Norway replica viking ship, and lots of Scandinavian merch (altho down from the 80s era of Scandinavian themed gift shops lol!), but I've never heard a drop of history except them.just saying "vikings."
I'm 98% European in America these are my ancestors..from Iceland Shetland Denmark Norway Gotland England Wales Scotland Ireland France Germany Netherlands Isle of man Switzerland Belgium and Sweden..I love learning about them.
Lol BTW I'm related to Prince Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. and a U.S. president soooo :p
@Quaker274 I'm related to two viking warriors, and also a scottish warrior who was half scottish and viking. It runs all through my dads side of the family. My grandfather was 6 2 with a size 14 shoe, blue eyes with blondish brow hair and a huge beard. His family was from norway and Iceland. And on my moms side we are part of royalty and descendants of rollo, from france, then less than 20% middle eastern egypt area. I'm 80 to 85% norse/scandanavian. And definately part of warrior vikings.
And that's ancestry.com blood test, and my family keeping records going back to the 8th century.
Muh heritage
Well not back to the 8th Century , but back to arriving in Jamestown from England , and back to arriving from Norway in 1800's . A distant cousin did find an ancestor that was proment Anglo- Irish official in County Galloway in 12th century .
Thank you for your input to my brain
The depth of your knowledge is a wonderful swim topped with your eloquent wordsmithing
Thank you
What wonderful graphics you show and oh what a story you spin. Thank you.
Superb presentation of the Viking Diaspora supported by a literate script and beautiful graphics. Can be used as a helpful historical overview to the series Vikings.
One of my favorites. went back and watched again.
Sverige, Norge och Danmark de riktiga Vikings bröderna!!!🇸🇪🇳🇴🇩🇰
You should do a video about Ostrogothic Italy under Theodric the great! Also Awesome videos! You should have wayyyy more subscribers idk how you don’t have a million right now. Well anyway cheers from the United States!
Seconded, on all points!
Ostrogothic Italy and Theodoric definitely on the way in my Fall of Rome series. Though there's quite a few episodes to get through yet. Ahem *Huns*
This video most informative on Scandinavia, thank you.🇺🇸🇩🇰🦅Jonathan .
Ostrogothic Theodoric, still today surnames in Serbia 😉
Check out Asha Logos. Great series on Goth Kings and Theodoric
Fascinating stuff ! I read and listen over and over again .
Absoloutely love these viking history/early scandinavia videos, any plans covering swedish vikings? P.S keep up the good work!👍
I will definitely do a few videos on Viking Sweden. May take a while though.
@Brian Brinck Nielsen Then you have lots to learn.
Please more about the Swedish and Balkan countries
@Brian Brinck Nielsen Och jag älskar det faktum att Dansken fått så mycket spö av Svensken genom tiden. Trots att jag är finne.
@Brian Brinck Nielsen i guess you've never heard of the Varangians then.
It’s amazing how tough these guys must have been to make that frozen sea journey. Crazy
This is a very informative video and fills in my limited understanding of the Vikings. While I was in Istanbul/Constantinople I visited the Hagia Sophia 8 times and I saw the Viking runes carved into the marble railing. I'll have to subscribe to your books.
Love the knowledge and your format, stay humble
Thanks for watching Adam
your videos are awesome man keep it up. I WANT MORE SCANDINAVIAN HISTORY PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE
Thanks for watching! Appreciate it
Go to the library and get a boook. YOu will learn a lot more and you wont have some nimrod with an ax to grind against Germans. There werent any GERMANS in the 10th century. There was the Holy Roman Empire, Italian, Flemish, Dutch, Saxons, Friesians, Bavarians, Austrians, Hungarians...where are the Germans? There was not a Germany until 1870.
p
FYI the name of the king mentioned at 39:20👈🏻 is the one and only Olav II Haraldsson (OlaV, not OlaF) aka Olav den Hellige [Olav the Holy (one)], Hellig-Olav [Holy-Olav], Sankt Olav [Saint Olav] and/or Olav Digre [Olav (the) Huge]. He is the brother of Harald Hardråde [Harald (the) Brutal ruler] and Halfdan Sigurdsson, btw.
…
Carry on!
Outstanding compilation of knowledge. Well executed. Bravo and thank you!
Awesome video!! No doubt, an outstanding source of knowledge.
World class presentations, everyone I’ve seen, including perfecty paired background music!
That was outstanding. I was riveted from beginning to end. The maps and illustrations are superb. Need to watch it all again as there is so much to take in. Thank you.❤
So glad I found your channel. Absolutely fabulous video and great narration! Liked & subscribed.
Churning out content like your life depends on it, love your vids, amazing contribution, please never stop
This is.. Like on par with a BBC docu. Good shit man. Love your content. Perfect blend of music and visuals and content and accent!!!
Very enjoyable. Love history
I saw a comment you are just a UA-camr? I genuinely thought you were part of the History Channel. Amazing production mate! Thanks for these so much. I am learning more about Vikings since Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and love learning about their true history.
I am so thankful you for your work!
It will be nice to make documentary about the Balkans
Wonderful!
Thank you. Merry Christmas. Happy New year.
Happy Easter. 🐣
Hey, loved it. I really like that that you decided to include the Baltic areas aswell and mention Saaremaa's burials. It really gets buried and people don't really think of Estonians as vikings. New findings actually have given us more viking age treausres from Läänemaa (western coast of Estonia just to the east of Saaremaa) than from Saaremaa. The cultural mix is so insane for that time, even more than nowadays. Archeologists also point out that they cannot differenciate between Scandinavian findings and stuff from Saaremaa.
History is amazing. I love history of the kings/warriors/explorers of the Medieval era. Audiobooks are great for late night listening to help one sleep.
I really cannot SLEEP after so fantastic and informative a Video: I try to remember most of what I just learned and saw
Thank you so much for a most informative and enjoyable video.
Terrific documentary. Thanks!
Thanks for watching
Thank you so much. Professional. Entertaining. Educational.
Thanks very much
Loved the video ~ helps me appreciate the Welsh, French, Irish, Swedish and Cherokee ancestry! ✌
Manx is revived, it is no longer extinct!
It is spoken as a second-language by around 500 Manx people

ABSOLUTELY love it! Great job and please keep it up. :D
These historical tours are the next best thing to actually being there in person!
Thanks very much
Informative and well narrated. Thank you!
I've made my first comment before the best part of the video: the exploration of the Scandinavian-Polish connections. Best video ever! 😁
Exactly 👍the jomvikings at Wollin. A mix of Swedish and polish culture witch goes back all the way to the bronze age.
@@erikeriksson3615 Thanks, although I have to admit that talking about "Polish culture" (or anything) back in the bronze age is a bit of anachronism. But yeah, the people living around the Baltic certainly had contacts with one another for a long time.
I was expecting Jomsborg to be mentioned but unlike nearly any other element of this video, I didn't expect that much about the first two rulers of Poland and their Nordic connections.
@@Artur_M. Thanks for interesting reply.
Why I was mentioned bronze age is that bin the Swedish province of Ostrogothe lots of women's are in graves probably married to local gothic mens. They women's are Slavic because they have with them special pottery and things that is only from polish areas. They Swedish Gothic tribe and Polen have in the iron age before christ also big connection and also migration we can se in graves the Wielbark culture and in Ostrogothi and westgothi in Sweden we see in graves from warriors connection with Polend.

I love this idea of coalescing your shorter works into "documentary-like" features. You did a great job, as always
also, 17Days 6Hours 20Minutes!? ...and here I thought I have a problem :)
Fantastic as always, thanks man.
Thanks John
Fantastic documentary a great deal of work has gone into this. One of the most in-depth I have had the pleasure to listen to. I wish you well with your future endeavours as I'm now hooked.
That was the best pitch for Audible I've ever heard. Kudos.
hey chap just want to let you know, your the first channal ive subbscribed to the last 12 years
Wow. This moves so quickly through so many theatres in detail i knew little or nothing of. Appreciate the work gone into this. Top notch.
Excellent documentary. Very interesting & full if detail & facts . Well presented. Many thanks .
One of the greatest videos and documentaries I’ve seen well done.
20 minutes in and this video is so damn good. Will there be more "tour" videos in the future?
Yes! Definitely. What eras would you like to see covered?
@@HistoryTime a tour of the crusader states at their height maybe?
@@theblackprince1346 Definitely in the works. 1130s potentially.
So awesome journey into the late Viking Age!

I consider this the best History channel on UA-cam. Really outstanding videos!
Fantastic coverage of a huge topic!
great video bro :) as always
Thanks Jon
Beautiful map! btw, Amsterdam hadn't been founded yet in 1000 AD. The most important town in the area would've been Utrecht, seat of the bishop of Utrecht.
Enjoying the whole series today
Thank u so much for your time in presenting this intriguing Era of history
AMAZING INFO ALL IN ONE PLACE, THAKS
Great video. A tour of holy Roman empire would be nice.
Nice idea. I have something in the works similar to this video but Germany and mainland Europe in the year 1000.
Oh nice can't wait to see that one . Great channel by the way it is amazing listening to what all these ancient people have achieved and failed at . Makes you think in a thousand years what will people say about us.
29:59
The "e" at the end of Nordic words are almost *never* silent.
That said, lovely video. =)
Thanks for watching!
Same as modern German.
Thank you! It’s very well done!
Just began listening. It’s wonderfully written
great video-İ got viking blod in my veins from my father side hes family name is Binderup a old viking name and hes family all live south of Aalborg and its a big family-proud of that and my mothers family is from Russia so İ got strong gens from my ancestors-thank you for the video-may the Force be with you
thank you so much for this... I am Irish Viking and we have many books on our family history..
Quality content THANK YOU Pete!
Heading over to Audible for ya, sir. And thanks again. The shout out to Bernard Cornwell was nice. I am banging through his "Stonehenge" currently, and it made my day to see this vid pop up. Cheers, and again, my thanks.
Thanks Eli! Bernard Cornwell is the man. His Saxon Stories, along with Michael Wood documentaries essentially got me into this period of history.
