Would absolutely love a video on the inaccuracies in the Vikings series!
To long video. It takes a series itself.
Vikings is loosely based on historical events & characters it's not meant to be accurate
Why? It's only entertainment
Me as well
None of it is accurate except some of their names.
Rollo tops my list of greatest Vikings in history. His founding of the Norman Dynasty set the course for the future of Europe. 👍
History has to be rewriten. Hope you will be one of them by breaking outdated restriktions and searching for new discoverys.
Já same. Interesting. I have a few family names claiming to go back to Rollo and Górm Gamla's line also.
I hope the dna information is good! And answers questions, maybe some of us can trace our dna back to them.
Awesome video, keep up the good work.
I am a descendant of Rollo through Oliver Cromwell who is my 9th great grandfather. Historians have done the research and taken the family tree back to Ketil, circa 840.
takk for oppdateringen....history comes alive and gives the remains of ancient warriors personality
My 36th great grandfather.
I wonder if you can recommend any historical books from this period of the Viking era? I am interested in The Battle of Hafrsfjord, Harald Hårfagre, Rollo and Alfred the Great in particular. There are many books out there but a lot is guesswork or not delving deep enough for me. I am writing a family saga and I am a facts-freak, really want to make it accurate. I also wonder if you know about the selective female infanticide and if it has any historical bearing because I my story is somewhat based on the consequence...
Love your channel!
How long will it be before you get the results from the testing? This is very exciting!
We're waiting for the first results now👍
@@sturlaellingvag9661 bro results came r not?
Hi Sturla. I would love if you made a video about the TV series Vikings. and maybe why series Vikings don't follow that History. and why Is Ivar in Russia and not Ireland ..? Grate Channel
Good point and I have received several requests for this. So it's coming up! Thanks!
@@sturlaellingvag9661 well I look forward to see your video about it. Many thanks
I found out taking dna tests that my haplogroup is from Norway and having a Irish Norman surname I found that I am 7% Norwegian lol. I do have some Scandinavian ancestry from one of my grandmothers who was Swedish. So I found that odd. I have always been interested in the Vikings and Normans.
Any new DNA updates Sturla?
Covid-19 set us back quite a bit, but things are rolling again now. I expect to know some more by the end of November. Take care
How tall 👀
So tall that he could not ride the smallish horses of the time, thus he was called Rollo the Walker.
👍
In the hands of kids? Well, there goes your evidence!
How was he the greatest viking when he left and converted to live with the enemy of the Vikings? Maybe a mediocre Christian but it seems he was a terrible viking. Lol
would love to see a more in depth video on the great Rollo.
Seconded
Third
1:38
Odin has entered the chat.
Ha glad I'm not the only one who had that that thought 😆
Tak, I also would like to know more about prehistoric movement into Viking lands and the three tribes you mentioned in your video with bjorn.
Very interesting.
I love the idea of you just chilling in Copenhagen with ancient human remains in your back pocket. As an anthropology undergrad, I have dreams of one day doing the same thing!
I would love a video about Rollo and this history competition. Haha
Would love to see a whole video breaking down the show vikings. People act as if its gospel.
Wow, really? That's insane. Almost nothing in the show was historically accurate. 😲
Rollo the Walker. Please do a video on the Norwegian and Danish history of this man.
Very interesting video - keep them coming!
Well ofcourse Rollo is norwegian :-) he he I'm totally unbiased .. (being a norwegian after all) ... same with Ragnar Lothrod too .. he had norwegian parents .. why would he be danish ? :-) ofcourse he is norwegian as any good vikings are :-P
Highly possible my Norman ancestors came from Norway.
As are so many others, I'm descended from Hrólfr through Richard 1st of Normandy, and his "unnamed second concubine"! : D I like this genealogy very much.
I was told that Rollo was my 33rd. Great Grandfather .
Thank you for such an informative video. I look forward to your updates and future videos!
How cool! I'm currently living in Rouen and I have visited Rollo's grave at the cathedral :) Great channel, I wish you all the best. Let me know if you need anything.
Rollo never really betrayed the Vikings who joined Rollo and kept flocking into Europe through the European trade port in a attempt to stop the invaders that wrongfully called Vikings the invaders.
There had been a webpage up regarding Ydna haplogroup Rollo fell under and it was said to be I1-M253. Then that page was taken down. This was several years ago. Would like to know what became of that and if any studies actually were able to zero in on it.
Richer of Reims in his biography of Rollo the ancestor of Robert the Dane stated Rollo was Danish which is real viking that is a Danish fair child a trade merchant that is a traditional defender of the Dutch who Rollo's own defend to this day it is revealed by Richer of Reims that Rollo's father was Ketil which means son of Thor to some I like to think of the founder of Normandy as Turtle in last name for Turtle means Thor Ketil and is inspirational for the helpless oppressed traditional gentlemen known as the Northmen who are stated as Thor's personal tribe known as the Northmen that appear nearly extinct and are possibly nearly extinct because they are meant to avenge Donar's oak the sacred tree of Thor.
Teeth sometimes hold mitochondrial DNA that can uphold many centuries but it will only do the maternal lineage side of DNA research
Carbon dating has been proven flawed. How do we know anything if we just rely on carbon dating?
Hi , so do you have results on the ancient dna related to Rollo's descendants?
Please do more on Rollo. He’s one of my ancestors.
I am also decent of Rollo by way of William the Conqueror. I hope there is an update I have been waiting for this, i want to compare my DNA results. Best wishes cousin.
Clicked on this video and found two distant cousins. Skol!
Hey me too
There are millions of descendents of Rollo all over Europe....I am one too.
How do you know that when they didnt do dna in their time and records seem light from that time period that dont pertain to jesus? Lol
I hope you find he is Norwegian.....I could possibly invite him to a family reunion!
He’s my great(x) grandfather!
Rollo is my great uncle
My 34th great grandfather
Yes, I would like to hear more about the progress you've made.
(Also, I can't believe some kids stole the ancient DNA samples. That was kind of funny!)
The teeth where intact in their robust cylinders, so hopefully the samples weren't contaminated.
@@VikingStories How would you know?
Having lived in Denmark (many moons ago), and also worked alongside hundreds of Norwegians, I love this deep contention they have. Where as almost everywhere you go as an Englishman, you are going to encounter some hatred, but mostly from our Neighbouring countries. But the Norwegian/Dansk thing seems different , more like a deep ingrained rivalry , with just a spoonful of disdain.
It's all love and lots of humour;) and some competition of course
Viking Stories Yes mate, a bit of "banter”as we’d say, over here. It’s healthy!
I have just come over from Bjorn Andreas channel because I'm fascinated by Viking history.
On the beginning of your videos I think it would be good to introduce yourself so it's easier for people to learn more about you and your name.
It's clear to me that you're really passionate about Viking history so I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thanks Daniel
Being from Fargo, ND, Rollo has always been one of my hero’s. We even have a statue of him that(if I have the story right) is one of two identical ones. The second is somewhere in Normandy.
Would be interested to hear more about the true history of Rollo. The Vikings series got a bit too "hollywood" after a while, but it did prompt me to borrow some sagas from my dad (Vinland Saga, King Harald's Saga) and they were very interesting and entertaining.
I have been told that I am a direct Y-DNA descendant of Robert ' le Dane ', son of Richard I . I hope you are successful. Paper trail is best guess from before the 16 th century.
Awesome! Thank You Sturla👍
Has the DNA analysis been completed?
Still waiting.. long story, but I'll soon get to that
@@VikingStories I look forward to seeing the results.
@@VikingStories I'm trying to get my YDNA matched up to William The Conqueror and Rollo and The Dukes. They are my great granfathers on my father's side. Your work is greatly appreciated.
@@ianblair9904 we'll have to compare once (or if) we get the DNA results! Thanks
@@VikingStories How much do I bet that they are a) hiding the results that he was Norwegian, and b) that is why they have started discrediting you now?
Found thru Bjørns Channel this is awesome!
Theives in the mailbox is a modern problem, it came with "new" culture
I am descended from Rollo as well as several other Viking Warriors from my paternal Grandmother's side of the family. My mother's side of the family, her father actually came from Sweden. And though I have traced his ancestors and those of my maternal grandmother's who also were from Sweden. There were no Viking Warriors in either line. Go figure.....lol. But the Richmond (my paternal grandmother's) side of the family go back to the Plantagenets and even to William the Bastard, his father Richard and back to Rollo.
Please more on Rollo, my family is said to be dependents of him. The story is that Bucktown England now Boughton was given to our family ( the uncle of William ) when William the Conqueror invaded England. I come from the Green de Boketon family as I can find i am direct male decent as I am a Green. Always looking for more information. My brother did his DNA test and we come from Denmark to Normandy to England and ended up in America by way of John Green 1629. Thanks Sturla for your work and time.
How do I contact you? William longsword is the father of Emma de Bretagne,who is the mother of odard... Who is a direct ancestor of mine, odard fought with William the conqueror... I've traced my last name origin and the facts behind the men and women that I am descended from... I'm very curious... How would I be able to have my DNA cross checked...I understand these men have about 2 million descendants, so I know there's a lot of us...
I'm a descendant of Rollo's. Were your findings published? I'd like to learn more. Are there books you'd recommend on Rollo?
I would love to have a copy of the DNA , Rollo , Robert the 1st, Duke of Normandy is suppose to be my 33 Great Grandfather ,
Didn’t rollo have red hair?? And wasn’t he a huge man
I want to know more and hear all your stories 🙂
Terrible commentary …
Gange Rolv🍾
SO glad you found those samples. Just think how close we were to losing that history for good just because of some kids being dumb.
I hope they didn't sneak some of their own DNA in before throwing it in the hedge!
this is fantastic. thank you for your work. I remember seeing some articles about this study back when you started and getting so excited in hopes it would answer the question of where rollo came from. Firstly because im a history nerd like everyone else and secondly because my own surname research has come to an end in normandy circa 1066 around the battle of hastings. I wanted to chase it further but knowinging a plausible country of origin for the scandinavians who made normandy what it is would help. Im sure there is a mix but surely rollos followers would have been originally all fellow countrymen from the same country.
Hopefully we'll know something new very soon. I'll be sure to update on this channel!
Are you going to be researching Ivar the Boneless dna anytime soon? Drop your email if so.
I'd like to!
So if the skeleton in Richard the 1st grave isn't from the correct time period where is the actual skeleton of Richard the 1st? I would think something like this would be bigger news.
You really should do a vikings versus historical fact .I can think of no one more qualified then you .I would love it.So much interest no historical reference
Glad to have found your channel! Lots of interesting info.
Have any of the DNA results come in?
I’ve had my DNA test done by Ancestry.ca and have been doing some genealogical research. Ragnvald Eysteinsson keeps showing up on both sides of my family tree (I don’t adhere to strict guidelines in my research when going back that far, so I take that with some apprehension, of course). My mother’s side is from Giske and Husoy, and my father’s side is mostly from Buskerud.
I would be very interested in having my DNA compared with the DNA found at some of the archeological sites. Do you think at some point there might be a database of the DNA found at these sites that would allow for that type of comparison??
I look forward to the true history told. Im sick of the filthy barbarian. Its the furthest from the truth. Thanks for stepping up to the task. Love to you from B.C. Canada
Canada has some deep roots of vikings from the east to Winnipeg,Manitoba but alot of history on them here in canada is like a myth but still have artifacts. I remember reading a few books in school when I was a kid about the norsemen a big part of history that was never really talked about in schools but know that's all I hear about . I've always had a strong connection whit my scandavian and native roots always intrigued with history keep up the good work. Cheers be safe.
I just found your channel today. Now I'm falling down the rabbit hole (ha ha) My recent DNA test showed that I'm 7% Scandinavian, I forget what the rest was.
I don't understand why it's taking so long to figure out what DNA Rollo is from. I'm starting to suspect faul-play.
The two DNA samples we obtained were apr. 2.200 and 1.250 years old, ao obviously not from Richard I and Richard II. That's what were trying sort out now.
@@VikingStories Well can we at least know what Y haplogroups these two people carried? And who they were? Perhaps we should give other labs around the world a sample of the remains so the the datings can be confirmed.
@@cruiserland3309 yes, that's the plan. As you may know I had a slight disagreement with the Danish DNA lab (see my Cancel Culture videos about this). So I've had a hard time getting the samples back. The plan is to have them analyzed in Germany.
Thank you he's my relative. I just recently found out and I am beyond Proud.
Learn new things with every episode, keep them coming Sturla…
How amazing to walk around with ancient bone and DNA in your pocket, with people going all around, unaware...do you know what the average height of ancient Norse people may have been?
Thanks. We know some of the tall guys where really tall, 6ft or higher (183cm and up). Harald Hardrade must have been more than 190 cm. But in general Scandinavians have been at their highest in the early period, 7-10.000 years ago and present day.
As a curiosity in Norway well meaning doctors have "forced" parents to give their fast growing kids hormon treatment for decades, setting our average height much lower compared to other countries. This was loosened up in about the year 2000 and now happens very seldom. So it's a curiosity to see several of our top footballers (Haaland, Sander Berge, Ajer), beach volleyball players, handballers and some skiers who are really tall, all born in the late 1990s. We're not used to this at all:)
