Whatever has happened to this wonderful couple. Not even to reply to let us know they are taking a break or ending their channel. I know their instagram page no longer exists. Starting to worry.
The Welsh name for York is Efrog, which has it's origins in the Celtic word for the yew tree, which both Norse people and ancient Druids considered a holy tree where the Gods resided. So York was a very important centre prior to the Saxon invasions, both for the Vikings, and the ancient Britons, who were mostly Celts. Interestingly, older Christian graveyards also had yew trees.
@@rattieboy82 In some of their last uploads they did talk about spending more time with family. Having two kids are a job and a half in itself. I though had the hope they were making enough money on the channel to improve the life for the entire family. But time spent with your children in whatever age they have are a one time opportunity. Maybe have taken some inspiration from some of the insights their channel have brought them? I wish them and their family the best, returning or not.
You might find Up Helly Aa in the Shetlands interesting and if you can find time for a film try Faintheart (made in 2008 if you're not sure which one).
York isn't middle England, your including Scotland to even be close. Thousands turned over in their grave when you said that. Middle England is Derbyshire, Nottingham etc.
One of the things I've always loved about living in york and surrounding villages is no one bats an eyelid at seeing Vikings and Saxons wandering about armed and in costume.
If everyone chose their own role it would all be Axe Wielding Berserkers and the injuries would be horrendous. There is a much better festival in Shetland called Up Helly Aa, less cheesy more Fire and Ship Burning.
Ooooh! I used to march our regiment onto the battlefields playing the bagpipes when I was much younger. My parents were members of The Sealed Knot but us kids LOVED it!
York is most definitely north England. I think you are forgetting that Scotland is above England and that Scotland is a different country then England. ;)
The Vikings were the first Europeans to find North America, Viking artifacts have been found along the Canadian East Coast, they didn't settle just raided, pillaged, even traded with the Natives, maybe raped the Native women and left. Would have sailed and rowed via Iceland and Greenland.
Viking sagas say that wherever they went westward, they were following the Western who went there before them. The Westermen appear to be Irish Celts. The tales of St Brendan The Navigator are stories of his supposed voyages.
About 12-13 years ago we lived closer to the city centre than we do now - One Saturday my now wife was doing the dished and looked up to seeing a "viking" peeing in the bushes below our flat! Not an everyday occurrence for sure!
York is definitely in North Yorkshire. However, the Danelaw covered further North and South. My family on both sides came from Liverpool, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. My DNA is over a third Scandinavian, over a third Celtic and Gaelic, under a third English, and almost three percent Italian (Roman).
The accents are so soft now. The dialects are still there, but you need to talk to the poor, esspecially if they've had a drink, to get a real accent, cos most middle class and some of us peasants have had to talk to southerners of listened too much to the internet. Come to County Durham, in the peasant places and you likely won't understand them at all. Same with lots of places. The west country... they are difficult, even the ones that have lost a lot of the accent. A good example of dialect here would be Howamannana howa, werwer gannagan owa yaga's ut, or awa gan'n hyem Nay the mora It's not too difficult but listen to us peasants say it... baffling to most. Give translating it a go and I'll come back to see what you come up with
York is definitely in the north of England, as a Yorkshire woman no one would say we were middle England. The midlands would be where I live now in the East Midlands Nottingham, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire or the West Midlands Coventry, Birmingham, Worcestershire down to about as far south as Northamptonshire and Norfolk. We would call everything below that line the South.
Weird innit. Been a Yorkshiremen all my long life, yet never heard of this "festival" - So I did a bit of research. Turns out it is quite new, only started roundabout 1986/7. Just when they opened the tourists "Viking centre" in York, then up sprang this Tourists Viking Festival. - So it is only around 38 years old. Which might be old to tourists from the USA, but is nothing in the History of the UK
An American who could run around with an ar15 assault rifle watching a video of York . That looks dangerous they could get hurt with that spear. Well they do play rugby. 😂
😢😮😢 I'm English and I _NEVER_ say "choonic" (or "The Choobe" re the London Underground) I _always_ say 'Tyuunic' 👌❤❤😊🏴🖖 (& 'The Tyuuube')👌❤❤😊 🏴🖖

yes would have been nice to get some info :(
Guys, did something really bad happen? Why no update? I'm starting to fear the worst here...
Hope you guys are doing well
It’s been a while; are you guys doing okay?
Hope you're all o.k. Will be good to see you post a video again. But family first.

RIP this channel... It was great while it lasted 💀
Any idea why they've stopped?
@@rattieboy82 Nope, and it's freaking me out a bit. Surely a family member or friend of their's can see this and comment?

@@Mike-zx1kx Or they must have split up

It's called THE Shambles, not "Shambles Street". 🤣
At the Brew York tap they have an evening of Viking Karaoke during the festival, I would love to see that too.
not seen you 2 on YT recently have you stopped posting? if so it's a shame
These guys definitely must have split up.
Yep
If you look at Angela it's pretty obvious she comes from Viking stock....she'd make a great shield maiden! 🙂
Yes, she was there in heart and soul, could see how thrilled she was ❤😊.
Have they split up I wonder
Have they stopped content now?? :( xx
What happened to you? Give us a sign or an explanation…please!
You'd think they could have at least made a brief community post. Even one sentence saying if the channel is over for good or it's just a break.
I don’t know, what ever it is the reason, hope they are doing well!
What's happened here then you two? You OK?
York isn't middle England, your including Scotland to even be close. Thousands turned over in their grave when you said that.
Middle England is Derbyshire, Nottingham etc.
As someone from York im genuinely offended you said yorks middle England and not north lol 😂
Agreed!!!!
me too!!!
do they not know what England is?
You lot should get out more
@@splodge561 guessing you're not proud of where your from
One of the things I've always loved about living in york and surrounding villages is no one bats an eyelid at seeing Vikings and Saxons wandering about armed and in costume.
York is not in the middle of England! We have an area called "The Midlands". Birmingham & Coventry are in the Midlands (i.e. middle of England).
It is about the middle of Great Britain though.
What you guys doing? Come back.
Been wondering myself where they've got to, hope they're ok, and can get back soon.
If everyone chose their own role it would all be Axe Wielding Berserkers and the injuries would be horrendous.
There is a much better festival in Shetland called Up Helly Aa, less cheesy more Fire and Ship Burning.
Miss you guys, hope all is well and that you're back reacting soon!
I'm a Geordie so we still use Viking words
where have yay vanished to?
Have they stopped posting now?
Just in passing, "Viking" is not a race or a nationality. It is a job description. It just means to go raiding.
Bloody Nuisance is what it means
@@billdoor3140 📣🎵I kan ikke slå os ihjel,🎶 vi er en del af jer selv🎵
If you like Battle Reenactments the Civil War groups like The Sealed Knot do some of the biggest and best.
Ooooh! I used to march our regiment onto the battlefields playing the bagpipes when I was much younger. My parents were members of The Sealed Knot but us kids LOVED it!
Some of the best memories I have of my youth are from the sealed knot. And we used to keep a cannon in our garage. But my dad was a Pikeman.
You should visit the largest viking festival in Scandinavia! It is this summer in Horten, Norway.

They did settle. It wasn't a large settlement and it didn't last very long, but it was there.
Viking sagas say that wherever they went westward, they were following the Western who went there before them. The Westermen appear to be Irish Celts. The tales of St Brendan The Navigator are stories of his supposed voyages.
I have several friends who take part in this, including "King Cnut" himself in this vid - 'twas nice to see him. ^_^

Hope your both well, sending Love ❤
Viking is a profession, not an ethnicity. So if a viking settled down and stopped viking-ing they were no longer vikings.

My DNA is over a third Scandinavian, over a third Celtic and Gaelic, under a third English, and almost three percent Italian (Roman).
Hi where did you go I've not seen a video in ages if anyone wants to see the beauty of the uk I have some great countryside videos
Try looking at the Lewes Bonfire Night celebration's. I think you would enjoy that as well!

Same with lots of places. The west country... they are difficult, even the ones that have lost a lot of the accent.
A good example of dialect here would be
Howamannana howa, werwer gannagan owa yaga's ut, or awa gan'n hyem

If you find this extreme you need to react to some of our crazy bonfire night traditions here in the UK!
Please let us know you are ok
York was the capital back in middle ages. Pre Tudor.
no we dont take days off for this (ive lived in york my whole life) tbh ive never rly cared to take part but ive seen it in passing like twice

Where are you? Hope all is good?
Where are you two?
How dare you disappear 😢
Short of alien abduction, there's no excuse 😢😢😢
They have children, something serious with one of their kids is a good excuse I'd say.
