- Excavations in areas like Orkney and Devon reveal evidence of early Viking presence, such as Norse-originated place names, Iron Age pottery and mysterious burials. The Vikings' arrival marked a significant phase in British history, establishing Scandinavian states with notable legacies seen in craftwork and cultural influences. Tragic events like the St. Brice's Day Massacre, sanctioned by King Ethelred the Unready, reveal tensions between Anglo-Saxons and Danes, shedding light on the violent clashes of the time.

Anytime I hear about the St. Brice's Day massacre, or the Dane murder as it's called here in Sweden, I always get chills and feel such sadness for the people who lost their lives that day. Maybe they weren't killed by Anglo-Saxon friends and neighbors, but still these were people they must have known in passing, seen on the road, or in the fields, or from the next village over. These were not strangers from far away that showed up one day. It makes the whole event so much more chilling to me.
And so very sad.
These Viking Britain videos are an enthralling exploration of a fascinating era in history. I'm captivated by the tales of Norse invaders and their impact on Britain!
Bot.
Really interesting. I ran out of time to see the Viking Museum in York when I was there. The day I had intended to go they were filming there ( someone said Dame Judy Dench but I’ve never seen anything in Australia about it) and I left the next day. Sad, but at least we have wonderful programs like this to help us ‘see’. Thank you 🙏👵🇦🇺
I've got a set of Lewis chessmen bought from the Stornoway museum where I saw the originals. Lewis and Harris are beautiful - white sands, clear sea and the history hits you as you get off the ferry. Do go, you won't regret it. ❤
I was in the US Navy and was stationed at RAF Edzell for a total of 7 years. I guess archaeologists go hunting during the 2 weeks which they call summer.
I live in Australia but have family connections in Skye. My understanding is that there is Viking history there as well.
It was part of the Kingdom of the Western Isles and was viking until the 13th century.
Wow thanks for adding the progress-bar indicator thing during the ad placement I really _really_ appreciate it when YT videos have that unfortunately tho its super rare to see
Thanks so much for posting
Brilliantly done and so interesting.
Thanks for your work and time ❤
Great show! Good job Dr Roberts
This is amazing. Thank you.
Good this. Well done to all involved! 🌟👍
So interesting.
I love this!
The History Channel Viking Series, the BBC and Netflix production "The Last Kingdom" and Netflix original "Vikings Valhalla" do much honor to Britain's amazing Heritage.
All three series available now on Netflix (2024).
Enjoy!
Last kingdom was very good but Vikings Valhalla is pure garbage.
Fantastic
Hnefatafl - or as we call it fistboard. We play it still. And runes are still tought in the schools here.
Love it love it love it
What's the difference between men in expensive uniforms coming to overtake your land and men in fur skins doing the same? Why don't we see Romans as "raiders" too? Romans also came armed, made exacting demands, killed objectors and occupied territory. Roman soldiers also traded with locals and even took wives from among them. And both engaged in slavery. I get it that raids are sudden and violent, but whether the victims are surprised or not, they become conquered peoples under threat of death.
Weak minds are blinded by only their own perception of reality. And of coarse today the open minded strong people extracting the truth know that the version people are told to believe is based on lies. that is another sign of weakness. But to be honest I am not affected by their different history versions since I know the truth myself. I think they also not deserve to know the truth since they also not taking the responsibility to not lie to their own souls , instead rather believe and betray your inner self deeply .
Back when defending your country from invaders wasn't called racist or xenophobic, and men had a purpose
Agreed
What can we do to save the West, Gandalf? We need you more than ever now @GandalfTheGay98
Well it didnt work did it? Heard of Danegeld? Yorvik?Canute, King of England and Denmark? Get a grip, drop the Daily Fail headline regurgitation an take off the Little Englander blinkers

You do not want to be enriched by the hoards of alien invaders being funded/incentivized to overtake Western Christendom?
I sense chemistry between the presenter and the archaeologist. 😊
Can you blame him 😘
So the AS's asked on St. Bryce's Day..."What kind of Briton are you?" 😮
The chess pieces have six fingers--you didn't mention that

No matter what tribe or people rule, serfs work and the Firm drinks and plays with skirt all day.

You guys want a connection to the Vikings so bad but the Vikings came from a very small village and all their stuff is in that village today.
😂
We all know the Vikings came from a small village in the south of Africa. They were a noble and proud people who spread civilisation across the world.
I think your American envy is poking out, tuck it back in mate😂😂😂
@@pisswobble1571
Pfft. America has its own Viking heritage.

Pure revisionism.
Haplogroup I europeans, were invaded by Haplogroup R.
Yamnaya invaded europe (haplogroup R)
If the monks had actually lived the life of poverty they should they wouldn't have been attacked.
So they can explain life in viking Britain but cant even realise there was a comet in 650AD
🤣😂heat white nothing
Nice thumbnail. Surprised you didn't shoehorn some black people in there just for effect. Ffs.
Not very div erse this program . Whares all the minority history . Bit racist this.

All nationality is a construct
