- Historian Dan Snow puts his walking boots on and sets off to see what the British landscape can teach us about our Norman predecessors. From their violent arrival on these shores to their most sustaining legacies, Dan's three walks follow an evolutionary path through the Normans' era, from invasion to conquest, to successful rule and colonisation.

4:12 I love people like David Carpenter who are just so excited about their subject matter that they literally can't keep still. His classes must be amazing.
He and his dad make great shows. Always enormously informative. Thanks for sharing with us Yanks!
William, Duke of Normandy - the Conqueror who was crowned William I, king of England, was my direct ancestor along with his beautiful petite wife Matilda, who was his queen. Their marriage was a true love match and William is known to have never had a mistress because of his love for her. which was unusual at the time.
He's my 24th great-grandfather on my father's side and 26th great-grandfather on my mother's side.

Thanks for explaining the origins of the "hurst" suffix, it took me back to a quote from my youth:
"In Elmhurst, at York and Roosevelt Roads, where you always save more money!"
The problem is that he got it wrong! It actually means 'wooded hill/heights' or 'wooded slope', and that's not from a Snow but from a Fairhurst!
great video!
very intressting - dan snow is a good man!
My last name is Norman! I'm so proud to be part of this clan.
Mulțumim!
I can't help but wondering if, in fact, the Viking raid in Yorkshire was a plot between them and William to draw Harold away, dividing his forces. The battle of Fulford on Sept. 20th, Stamford Bridge on the 25th, and then William landing on the 28th. This was no coincidence. Harold's army must have been supremely fatigued. He made a huge blunder by not succoring his forces before the final battle.
I show no listings for Mr. Cameron's book, "1066 Malfosse Walk". It must've been self-published and of only specialized interest. There are multiple copies of the fictionalized account, "The Golden Warrior", however.
What a investigation
2:32 Drakkars were used?
Because that marshy area was sea in 1066.
The coast wasnt like today.
William could land over there and found Harold at Crowhurst on a much steeper hill than Battle Abbey 15:25
Does anyone know if Dan has done a documentary on Chittlehampton? That is where my Snow ancestors are from.

Wow..halfway through this first episode: a show about a medieval British topic, by a guy who could be his brother (based upon physical looks) and I'm just realizing that this is Dan _Snow_ and not Dan _Jones_ ...
His voice is the only clearly And obviously different aspect between the two. But everything else is so spot on I almost failed to notice...lol
The history of English royalty is quite confusing… it’s more French than English… more Nordic than French .. where’s the Anglo lines ? The Saxon ? And from which is York vs Tudor ? Lancaster vs plantegen… and English being Germanic while French was the language of the palaces and nobles … Vikings are the origin.. bottom line ? It’s so elusive evasive to comprehend totally .. with all its details!
French was the language of government's, states. Latin was the language of the churches. The Angles, saxons and jutes were germanic people not Brit. Anglo saxons were displaced by normans who were Norsemen and french. Most of the history of english royalty was of distant relatives, cousins and families killing each other using armies of ordinary people. Most royalty was inbred regardless of whether british spanish, german or Russian. They were all related.
Thank you woodspirit
U Brits sure have had yer fill of Scandinavians : First the Vikings, then da Normans Well, well at least us Swedes let England win da soccer match yesterday . But sorry lads, next time we won´t be so magnanimous...
Not English brew, hopefully ? Ok, I shall bring my own. Absolut ! ( ;
Deal. I´ll bring a gallon bottle.
English beer? Huffda! Hansa.
Tepid English brew....agreed, prospects r bleak ,indeed. ) :
If it were not for the Brits and the Americans, you would be speaking German.
