    When you break it down, trading and raiding are mostly the same thing. Just the currency changes. In the former, you get gold, silver, precious metals, gemstones and other goods. In the latter you get an axe to the skull, sword to the gullet, mace to the brain and other physically distressing items. The Vikings were essentially very motivated buyers.

    Also one of the main reason for Gustav vasa to join the reformation was that he need money to repay the german cities that had helped him. Also duke karl was also just power hungry. The whole protestant vs catholic thing did play a part in it. But he mostly did it to become king. But as you said he was a devoted protestant probably the most fanatic of the vasa dynasty

      Viborg is one of the oldest cities in the nordic countries being from the middle of the Viking Age.
      The site is older than that though. Since time immemorial it have been the place for the Ting of Jutland and it is also known as the hearth of jutland. It was one of the three principal Things were you needed to go get voted to king if you wanted to rule Denmark.

    Pickled herring is wonderful. This should not be confused with fermented herring. A very different kettle of fish, as it were. It takes an heroic effort to even get close enough to fermented herring to taste it. Doesn't taste much and is clearly not worth the cost of its smell.

    The attested history of Olof Skötkonungs ancestry is very spotty, so Olofs connection to the House of Munsö name for the dynasty, tracing it back to Björn Ironside, is very speculative and at least to some extent legendary, so the name isnt universally accepted for Olofs dynasty. Just a minor detail, obviously to minor of a distinction to dissect in a video summarising all of Swedens history, with little bearing on what unfolds. Par for the course really in new dynasties and kingdoms that begin to keep written track of these things.
    Also, what name is Gävle-ägarna from? Means "the owners of Gävle" in modern swedish but first time i come across that name for the locale.
    Lubeck and the Hansa were also a huge help for Sweden breaking free of the Kalmar union, supplying mercenaries, cannons etc. Aside from the bloodbath overreach and subsequent fears of losing established rights, a big divisive factor for the union was the opposing foreign interests of Denmark and Sweden. Sweden had designs on the baltics, Denmark was invested in its german holdings and a sore sticking point was Denmarks rivalry with the Hansa. The swedish import of hanseatic salt from Luneburg was very important to the Swedes and they had nothing to win by denmark antagonising the Hansa.

  • @mitrogulf4073
    @mitrogulf4073 2 роки тому +10

    Correction.
    I may be mistaken in understanding your date, but if at the moment 5:22 850, there was no "Kievan Rus" or simply "Rus" even close at that moment. The Rurikoviches will conquer the principality of Kiev only at the beginning of 862, but here on the map in 850 year Kyiv already has one of the variants of their family coat of arms. At that time, these were more than fragmented principalities. and even if it was just Rus, as here on the map within the borders of the principalities, it is strange that you did not paint them all in the same color separating Kievan Rus from the rest of the principalities. Despite the fact that Rus as such did not have a common border with all the principalities before the Kingdom of Moscow (city of "Vladimir principality" in the east), for even being de jure united, de facto they despised each other and went on raids, including those bordering Kyiv, as an example, pereyaslavl. Therefore, this map of the Eastern Slavs looks rather strange.
