Whilst not being historically accurate in filming, this video gives one a good idea of where, when, what, and how.
There are events that happened 200 yrs. before this 793 AD took place.
thx a lot for that vedio
Duke Wellington said that? Wow. What a revelation. I thought it was Blucher and Wellington who defeated Napoleon. The whole Wellington plug is a bit out of place here.
The Vikings weren't anymore brutal than any other adventurers throughout history. The clip is less historical than sensationalist with a lot of fluff.
What attracts people to watch all of these historical documentary is the Setting the scene with dramatical sensionalism. Having a professor in suits giving a lecture does not make for good entertainment. Better to draw people so they can learn.😊
@@eddygonzalez6018 That might be true for a combination of crappy professors and simple audiences. The result is an idiotic jumble that isn't history at all and nobody is learning much. For whatever reason, the RUclips algorithm keeps shoving this pseudo history trash into my recommended list.
Didn't most medieval boys start learning to use what they had as weapons? Kings were frequently calling up armies.
@@reynardus1359I agree with you. Just like some RUclips channels. However, Chronicles is produce by Little Dot Studios Network, and Hostory Hit. They produce the most accurate historical content based on historical records, Historians and professors. They carry many other contents besides Medieval. Many are hosted by Drs Dan Johns, Lucy Worsley, Suzannah Lipscomb, and others. This particular channel of Hostory Hit, I trust. I've met Historian and author Patric Wyman. Very knowledgeable man.
Napoleon was from 1792 to ,1827 so the blocking where long gone
Very interesting
As far as I know, it was not Erik the Red, who reached the Newfoundland, it was his son Leaf Erikson. Leaf was blown off course by the storm, while returning from the Norvegian King's service to his home in Greenland.
Fascinating so see such high quality footage from the viking era.
Lindisfarne were a rescue mission where monks mysteriously had died and the Vikings offered to rescue the valuables.
The Catholic Church were plundering normal people for the sake of riches. Vikings helped redistribute the fortunes not to mention helping the holy men becoming closer to their God....
There's always more than one side to a story.
Some of this documentary footage was filmed in New Zealand…. approx 20,000 Kms from where the Vikings roamed. The supposed Norwegian Fiord shown at 24:05 is actually Milford Sound in New Zealand. The producers weren't too particular about using authentic locations for their documentary.
Funny how, in every movie, every video clip ever made, drawing a sword is accompanied by that metallic sound as if all those scabbards were ever made of metal. It just makes me laugh.
😅😅😅
I could be wrong, but could there be a stone set into the leather scabbard allowing for the edge to be kept up when taking it out and putting it in?
.... They weren't ??? 7:47
30:00 that's why you don't compromise with terrorists or make deals with them.
The Viking age, provoked by the Christians.
After many years of attack against non Christians North of France, and then making it forbidden to trade with non Christians.
Finally the Vikings reacted in the same way and for the same reason as the Mongolians did.
And that is the main reason they was specially happy when they could attack and destroy any Christian building or establishment.
Music is louder than the voice.
Win win situation for them. If you win you get Booty. If you lose in Battle you might go to Valhalla
Trying to equate that behavior to this time in history is ridiculous. This kind of violence is not restricted to vikings.
And why was it that very young viking boys were trained in battle? Because every viking believe in that dying in battle was an honor. Becoming old man was a disgrade to viking men.
Over all I think there are many facts missing in this documentary. Try to use the Icelandic Sagas as referece next time.
Who knows the veins on an arm other than doctors, an odd description! 😆
Once again it is not mentioned that the event that sparked the so called "Viking age" was the slaughter of thousands of heathen Saxons and the desecration of their sacred oak Irmunsul by Charlemagne AKA Karel the great and his Frankish Christians....
God willed it.
Thats correct
Sorry to hear that Newfoundland lost provincial status.😅
They bathed about 3 times 724
The Vikings didn't shave their heads. They had long hair (unlike the show ...). Short hair was for thralls (see The Northman for the most authentic Viking looks ever done in film). This depiction makes me question the authenticity of this documentary.
What about baldies?
You can't possibly know that with any certainty whatsoever. How would you possibly know how every individual Scandinavian man over the course of several centuries kept their hair? They didn't even have a written language.
@@cleverusername9369Vikings did write on runes. As a Nordic I have even seen The runestones myself.
My grandma was from Denmark they were a strong and determined
People. I'm also old English my ancestors had a castle in northern
England around York I'm at battle with my self.
If Charlemagne hadn’t tried to spread Christianity into Northern Europe through brutality the Viking age would probably never have been and buildings with the cross of their enemies wouldn’t have been targeted, it’s that simple
God willed it.
Vikings didn't wear helmets. 🤦
we started all kinds of weapon battle at 5 years old and many was 12 first raid-I know my ancestors
The Vikings respected the Scotish Highlanders and feared the tall tattooed Russian.
What's with the "The Ukraine"?
It was called that up until 1991, some habits die hard
Ahh, yes, the Viking defensive strike against the church’s forward base for cultural genocide. Good stuff.
there are sooo many factual things wrong in this show...
Cannot watch a British history documentary narrated by Americans, it’s always tinged with crassness, totally ruins it.
What is your DNA Viking index? Mine is 96%, with a hit in a St Brides Day Burial. You know my name, and you see that crest. American
Enough with the xenophobia!!
Viking berserkers we're not half man and half beast they are just men that we're high on toxic mushrooms and they didn't wear horned helmets that is a lie . How do I know that? Because I'm a descent of Viking culture. Stop making up stories that are not true. Get your facts right.
what a stupid popcorn style of directing a historical doc
Would have been nice to see some nordic experts, not just americans
You're right, America is devoid of historical experts and has no right to produce documentaries.
@@Face2theScr33n
Exactly
Didn’t you realize, Americans know everything?
Tell us how you really feel, brah.
The funny thing is the people that are being interviewed aren't all American. This doc isn't "American Made". You guys are being silly. My first comment was sarcastic.
This is bad stuff with fact held aloft by poor facts. The narration is bad, bad, bad ' boats that popped up '. Cant stand it sorry, the screaming is the last straw.
the Hamas of the dark ages.
