- VIKINGS and KINGS - Episode one of Travel Channel's TV series Follow Your Past.
Vikings and Kings is the first episode of the Travel Channel series Follow Your Past. This episode follows two brothers who find out they are descendants of the mighty Viking chief, Rollo.
The brothers travel to the Academy of Viking Martial arts in Norway to learn Glima, the martial art of the Vikings, from AVK instructor Tyr Neilsen and 3 x Norwegian Glima Champion Andreas Sørensen.
The brothers ancestor, Rollo, was the Viking chief who conquered the part of France called Normandy (meaning land of the Northemen). Rollo’s descendants conquered England and changed world history.

His NORSE name is not Rollo. Its Hrólfr....
Pretty cool they guy was able to trace his ancestors back to his 35th great grandfather
Forgot to mention Rollo betrayed his people.
Hayden Mcclure and father William the Conqueror.
Reality is more complicated than the show Vikings portray. Hrolfr didn't betray anything. His rule of Normandy gave Vikings a base in Frankia from where to resupply and launch raids on other parts of Frankia.
Yeah the TV show takes a WHOLE lot of liberties with history. Kind of a shame given it is on the History Channel...
I think in real life he kept worshiping the nordic gods till his death.
In which he should’ve shaved his hair after I’m actually not sure if he did but he should’ve
Love the website and the work your doing
"Out of nowhere, two vikings come out in full blown battle"
Uh no mate. That were two men fighting ridiculously. In no way can one call that efficient fighting.
Yeah I was watching like: What kind of figjt is this? Dual Wielding? And those are the masters?
Battle also means war
Lol love the people critiques who have never once fight for there life with sword or shield saying this ancient art used by the most fearless strongest and overwhelming warriors in history isn't proper fighting sure it looks weird with these guys because to my knowledge they never fought for life so no experience but I bet if you picked up a sword they'd cut you down before you blinked twice.
@@viggoeriksson878 battle does not mean war little one
Jay the Gray you know that most Vikings where farmers that just got on a viking only the wealthy Vikings actuly knew how to fight effectivly wich that isnt cutting randomly towards your opponents shield that will get you killed in a duel and i think that it would be impossible for one of them to cut me down in a duel since i would be smart and use armor
and I am related to the chocolate caramels called rolo you can buy in the supermarket :p just joking, i loved the video, Tyr Neilsen and andreas Sørensen are awesome, and i am jealous of their glima class (do they also have glima for women?)
I’m also related to Rollo. Also several other Viking kings.
Same here☺
Some day you need to go on a Rannsaka(old norse for Ransack) 🤣
Same here 😁
I have no viking blood but I know fighting methods such as stick, sword, dagger and empty hand.
what? what does the viking blood have to do with that?
I want this treatment!
They didn't "change" history they were history.
Everything technacly changed history because of the whole domino effect if Vikings didnt exist a lot of other things wouldnt either because of it
We have no weapon techunices noted from vikings all we have is late medieval tretuses and biology basics and nothing from Vikings exept the unarmed traditions
The wrestling mentality of Glima sounds like Catch wrestling which probably comes from it.
I was told by my grandmother that we were descended from a guy named "Tursten" who was Norse in origin, apparently a flag bearer for a king and took part in some major battles. It's just a shame that he was a flag bearer. I imagine that's a bit like being in band at a sports event. Anyway she's dead now, so I guess the details are lost to history 🤷♂️
Flag bearers often have high status in pre-modern militaries. Even though your ancestor didn’t fight, I’m sure he was well respected enough to be chosen to be a flag bearer.
I'm a descendant of Rollo too. #brothers
far out
I thought hey something about viking martial arts then I saw the travel channel was responsible for the video "o fuck" and then they started talking about the vikings as a people second "o fuck" and then they said the name rollo (its rólfr in old norse changed to sound more classical it's like valhalla it's actually valhǫl ) third "o fuck" at that point all historical accuracy was thrown out of the window and I gave up
Hrólfr*
@@meginna8354 If you speak Old Norwegian, then it's Rólfr
@@lumethecrow9808 That was way after the Viking age like 1200, Old Norwegian started changing quite rapidly.
@@meginna8354 Old Norse was spoken from 700s-900s CE, Old Norwegian split from that in the 1000s CE. It further developed into Middle Norwegian after Norway was hit with the black plague, causing the language to change rapidly (Sound changes, removing many noun and verb cases etc). It then became Norwegian Bokmål once the Danes took over and turned Danish into the national written and spoken language.
Oh, and the viking age ended in 1066, with the christianisation of much of Europe, including Scandinavia and it's territories.
@@lumethecrow9808 Nah. Old Norse split off in like 1200 and became old Norwegian. Anyway, dropping the "H" before R and L was a later Norwegian thing in like 1200. Rollo was named Hrólfr and called himself Hrólfr.
