Unknown5 Absolutely! Already done some predictions, but really looking forward to it! :)
Definitely looking forward to it!
Unknown5 No doubt!
I would love to see more on the stories of the Norse! They have such a rich history!
Unknown5 hells yea!
Imagine the Viking stories we would have if the Vikings actually documented things themselves
probably would sound TOTALLY different from what we hear today
They did hahaha, and in great detail
King Alfred the great. King Edward. King Athelstan
Mathias Lexau no... they just didn’t
Harry Leigh hence why I said if the Vikings themselves kept history
Jesus promised to kill all evil.
Odin promised to kill all ice giants.
See any ice giants lately?
Xen well said
Xen but they shall come back in the time of Ragnarok
Xen well maybe they didn't exist
Eye witness testimony stands up in all court cases.So if it is good enough for a court of law and to send people to the gas chamber....Also all 4 of your reasons could be reduced down to 2 or at the least numbered correctly.maybe you should edit again...why did you come at me with this remedial doublespeak.
+Xen
I don't think going to court with just a pair of eyewitnesses would be a good idea, but it's possible, I suppose...however, I wouldn't think much of the justice system, and I certainly wouldn't be one of the jury that said guilty when considering there is no physical evidence to draw on. Absolutely not, and nor should I.
The list was representative of how these arguments tend to go; somebody claims there is a ton of evidence; they are asked to show the evidence; they link to a blog article or some such thing that has a person claiming to have seen or know someone who has seen the evidence; it turns out that somebody being told that said evidence exists is still not tangible evidence supporting the claim.
The most likely explanation for giants is that the ancients saw the massive bones of extinct animals and then created stories to account for them. They would have had to fit them into their worldview, somehow. We already have good reason to suspect that at least the Greeks did this. Be honest with yourself, what do you think the ancients thought when they saw a five-foot femur sticking out of the mountainside?
“It gladdens me to know that Odin prepares for a feast. Soon I shall be drinking ale from curved horns. This hero that comes into Valhalla does not lament his death! I shall not enter Odin’s hall with fear. There I shall wait for my sons to join me. And when they do, I will bask in their tales of triumph. The Aesir will welcome me! My death comes without apology! And I welcome the valkyries to summon me home!“
How the little piggies would grunt if they saw how the old boar suffered
Ragnar Lothbrok!
One of the Best Exchanges Ever when the Great Heathen Army was spotted. The King says to the Bishop.
KING: We will pray to God to help us.

I’m from York, former known as Jorvik, I love the Viking heritage that runs through my city too.

Odin isn’t the Norse God of War. That would be Tyr. Odin is the Allfather.
Zedd Smith Odin was also the god of war along with Tyr, Thor and others. Odin was also the Allfather but also the god of wisdom. Norse mythology isn’t like Greek and Roman where one god has a single role
Ryan Goodman I mean if you wanna be technical, they’re all War Gods, but only due to the Vikings being a War like people. In Sparta Aphrodite was also depicted as a war Goddess. But that’s kind of a cop out. Tyr was THE God of War. What set Tyr apart was his ability to avoid war when possible. When Viking Holds has issues with neighbors or rivals, they’d typically seek out peaceful solutions before resorting to War, as Per Tyr’s teachings. Odin was never considered the God of War amongst the Vikings. Also most cultural Gods do have dual meanings, so not sure why you think their all Singular. Athena was the Goddess of Wisdom and War. Poseidon was God of the Seas and Father of Horses. The Morrigan was a Goddess of War and Death and Fate (Celtic-Irish).
Zedd Smith fair enough. Odin was the god of wisdom, healing, death, royalty, the gallows, knowledge, war, battle, victory, sorcery, poetry, frenzy, and the runic alphabet. Tyr was indeed the main god of war but Odin was still considered one. Not every Norse god was a god of war either
Odin, son of Boar, is the king of gods. And for the rest, you guys need a library!
Odin is the god of wisdom
Rollo, known as Gange-Rolv or Göngu-Hrólfr in norse, was actually from an island called Vigra, outside of Ålesund. I know this cause i grew up there and we also have a memorial stone in memory of him.
I have Norwegian heritage and am interested in the culture then and now.
Can you help with me some more and genuine information..
Viagra? Lol
No he wasn’t - stop spreading lies.
You know very well that you have no valid, credible sources to back up that claim - its merely a highly norwegicentric theory. Nothing more.
In reality his place of birth/origin will most likely forever be a mystery. And yet you speak as if its the truth/fact. The very definition of misinformation. Stop lying.
- And yes I'm a Dane, if that wasn’t obvious by my strong disagreement with your unfounded, false claim.
That is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

@@LordOfWizardurl Vikings
It was not mentioned here but Ivar the Boneless, was, of course, King of Dublin until his death in Dublin in 873. Another viking Dubliner worth a mention is Olaf Guthfrithson, also King of Dublin, who led one of to the largest ever naval assaults on England with possibly up to 600 longships taking part. He, along with his Scottish allies, lost the battle in Buranburh(not sure if that is correct spelling?) but he did eventually become king of Northumbria.
That should be 'Brunanburh', of course.

Now, We Vikings are the ones being plundered by Islam.
Not to mention England...
XiL Well, prior to Islam, we were being plundered by Christians.
I know no Christians who want too rape my kids and kill me for not being a believer.
That's like hundreds of years ago bro, so who the fuck cares.
Islam is our ONE single challenge at this point.
I don't think you know whats going on Ragnar...
The real battle coming is against Islam and the West.
XiL Who the hell cares? The hundreds of millions of pagans you killed in the name of your God do. The real battle is fighting for secularism, which is something you Christians and Muslims fight AGAINST.
Because of the show Vikings, RAGNAR WILL ALWAYS BE THE MOST FAMOUS
Ragnar was the most famous even before the show
There's also The Last Kingdom a loose historical account of the Anglo-Saxon vs Danes conflicts in a series.
@@ketchup995 Ivar was more famous than Ragnar, don’t let the show delude you
IVAR THE BONELESS was the most feared and famous viking
I'd argue that Rollo was more famous than any of them
Here are Ragnar’s last words: “It gladdens me to know that Odin prepares for a feast. Soon I shall be drinking ale from curved horns. This hero that comes into Valhalla does not lament his death. I shall not enter Odin’s hall with fear. There I shall wait for my sons to join me. And when they do, I will bask in their tales of triumph. The aesir will welcome me. My death comes without apology. And I welcome the Valkyries to summon me home.”
What a pussy!!!
It isnt known if Ragnar Lothbrok actually said those words. Even before the show (which is my fav show of all time) i found the Norse gods and the viking culture fascinating. I did a lot of research on Ragnar because he truly was the most famous viking in their world. What is known about what Ragnar said is "How the little piggies would grunt, when they hear how the old boar suffered". The piggies obviously being his sons.
@@mr.b3132 nah...
Those are his last words in the show. Historically, his last words were "My sons will avenge me."
Very proud to be a Scandinavian and being able to live on soil which once belonged to Vikings, it's awesome.

“Power is only given to those who are prepared to lower themselves to pick it up”…Ragnar Lothbrok
I wish in school they taught us about Viking history other than just slapping "savages who quickly died out" I was grad class of 2007. Who knows they may have erased their existence just like Travis Fimmel starred in the show Raised by wolves...Mythraic was a real religion...never knew was one until the show that is now removed from MAX. Kepplar 22 is a planet also..

Whenever I look at videos like this I can't help thinking about the wars in the middle-age or the wars fought by vikings for example. Imagine what epic, extremely graphic battles we will only get a hint of through pictures. It brings a tear to my eye.
TheGreatDane You aren't alone brother. We are haunted by dreams of blood, visions of death and gore. It is our past that we see. And if this is what made us, then may our legend continue! *Raises Mead horn*
TheGreatDane not to forget all the suffering people went through in the battlefield,the suffering their families went through at home,massive loses of men that kept nations from advancing oh yeah truly epic
Thanks for your input sad little man. Could you guys get any more corny and more pathetic sounding? (Not you thatguy!)
Implying bloodshed is glorious
TheGreatDane The Vikings also got destroyed a lot in war.
Great video, I love learning about the Vikings.
Anyone had been watching The Last Kingdom back to back while waiting for the season 5?
Have you watched Norsemen on Netflix? Not what I expected but a lot of fun anyway.
Fucking stupid principal but I love the secondary characters. Especially the Brothers, Ubba and Ragnarson.
Mary0107
Yup. It’s a great show. I love the fact, that very few characters are completely good or bad.
season 5 confirmed :) pretty smooth
sigurdless when?
Good video I have a feeling you will hit 100k real soon
Here from Sithfurion, really good job on the video man, it was really interesting!
I now see where assassins creed Valhalla got so much knowledge and inspiration from. I love everything vikings, so the game and learning about actual history is incredible.
This is all great and all but there’s is a lot of disrespect for my boy FLOKI 👑
true, but what about ironside, the most famous king of Sweden?
Really hate how the Vikings show portrayed him. They have him being some silly weirdo dude. But there's no historical evidence whatsoever claiming 7he was a silly weirdo. In fact, all evidence shows he was a master boat-builder and sea navigator. He settled Iceland. The show insults his real legacy.
@@timothypacker4276 that's for entertainment purposes man. If all characters were historically accurate in the sense of personality traits then the show wouldn't be entertaining for the average person
.. and too be fair he is actually the greatest boat builder on the show.
@@robcampbell9681 The whole show is a fan fiction of history anyway.
LOL at the mount and blade warbands picture being used almost immediately. Love it.
I never knew ragnar's story was that historically accurate from the show.
I was surprised Bjiron Ironside and King Harold Fairhair didn't make it onto the list
It’s no proof of him living, just stories. So it’s a big chance many of the stories about him is just myths.
@@Pularen Ragnar most likely was a king but heavily exagerated with myths. Im sure he was a great warrior and king though.
@@slidred5643 yeah thats what i’m trying to say
@@Pularen Ik I’m agreeing with you
@@slidred5643 Aye, we're fairly certain some Ragnar Lothbrok did exist, since his sons are historical figures. But it's extremely doubtful he did everything that's attributed to him. We do know that *a* Ragnar raided England in the 10th century, *a* Ragnar fathered Bjorn Ironside, Ivar the Boneless, Sugurd Snake-in-the-Eye, Ubba and Halfdan, *a* Ragnar besieged Paris in 845, and probably this last Ragnar might have been killed in Northumbria at the hands of king Aella.
We do not know if they were the same person, whether or not they actually died the way Lothbrok died in the sagas, when exactly they lived barring the year 845. But we are fairly sure that the Ragnar we've all heard about is a legendary figure of combined Viking leaders at the time, with king Horik I being a good candidate for one of the constituents, funnily enough.
Great video, and nice mount and blade warband title screen shot. Liked.
You should probably mention that "Rollo" was called "gange Rolf" meaning "walking Rolf" because no horse could carry him.
His real name was Rolf not Rollo.
Kristian Heie Also, it's not even "Rollo", it's Rollon! Gange Rolv is the man rho
Kristian Heie where can I find more information on him? I’m a direct descendant of his and would love to learn more about my 37th great-grandfather...lol
Rolf is a Francofied variation of the Norse name
Billy Rigby uh, google.
Also I would probably get a DNA test from at least ancestry.com, because I doubt you’re directly - or indirectly - related to him. The majority of his living descendants are English peerage.
@@billyrigby4839 Yeah there's no way you're a descendant of Rolf... His great grandchildren conquered England and are, to this date, still a large part of the English royal family. You would know your history and ancestry inside out even if you were 14th removed from their line.
Can't wait to see what Ivar accomplishes next season on vikings! It's gonna be so badass!

Ivar is a degenerate son of a bitch.
He is going to be king of England like he was in real life

Ivar was undoubtedly the son of Ragnar Lothbrok !!! His full name inscripted on a runestone in Norway mentions "Ivar Lawd-Brhowk"
Honourable mention to Eirik Blood-Axe, Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye, Egil Skallagrimsson, Harald War-Tooth and of course Harald Fair-Hair
Ok, I need to know, how do you pronounce Eirik?

I’ve heard this song before. Quite dark but interesting piece.
Nice joke
Thank you!
Feels weird watching this, being Norwegian and having some English speaking guy giving me history lessons of my history.
Anyways great video! Really Enjoyed!
Right
Problem is, for some reason, our schools don't really want to teach us much about the Vikings unless in literature history, like SOME of the poetic Edda and Snorre Sturlason, and that is usually the Gunnlaug Ormstunge story...Should have more Viking on our curriculum :D
(Skrev det på engelsk så andre vil forstå :P)
holaholahoy Probably due to shame, Japanese don't learn anything about WW2 either.
I mean, that has kinda been my logic as well, but regarding, say, souvenirs and stuff like that, at least 1/3 is Viking related :P
It may very well be so, but it also really annoys me because that also limits our learning regarding Norse mythology. We learn the name of 2-5 Gods, hear 1 tale of how Thor's hammer was stolen and that's about it... :c
Lol you at least learn something about Scandinavian gods, in my country we learn Jack shit about the Baltic gods.

This should have included Björn Ironside although I cannot decide who to take out to include him. Bjorn raided into the Mediterranean as far as Pisa and it was his siege of Luni that inspired the TV shows episode of how they entered Paris. He returned to Sweden to become king and started the Munso Dynasty that would rule from the early 9th century AD until 1060 AD.
"when they dig up my bones I want them to say:these are the bones of the most famous viking to have ever lived. These are the bones of Ivar The Boneless"
Maybe Bjorn is know as most famous viking ever lived before Vikings series but after all eyes gone to ragnor the one most famous and loved..

Finally I found a Vikings video that has some historical accuracy!
I've been so intrigued with the history of Vikings, any suggestions on books would be great!
There isna book called Sky In The Deep. You might enjoy!!
One Viking you should have added to this is Raud Den Rame (Rauðr Inn Rammi), he was a fearsome Viking chieftain who lived in a place in Norway called Saltstraumen (Saltstream), which is known today as tourist attraction because it is one of the worlds strongest maelstroms hotspots. During the Viking Age, Raud was believed to not only be a fearsome warrior, but also a powerful shaman. Since ships and men who came in to attack him usually ended up getting crushed and drowned by the powerful maelstrom in Saltstraumen, which at the time was believed to have been summoned by Raud himself.
When the Viking King, Olav Tryggvason (now Christian) wanted to convert Raud, he refused. When failing to convert him to Christianity, he decided to kill him instead. He died by having a snake forced down his throat, and the snake would go berserk and eat him up from the inside.. This was a symbolic death by the hands of King Tryggvason, because Raud had a very nice longboat with a dragon head in the front, and a curled tail in the back, fittingly named Ormen. (The Worm/The Snake).
After King Tryggvason killed Raud, he took the ship because it was much nicer than his own ship, this ship also was used later by King Tryggvason as a model for his new ship, Ormen Lange. (The long Worm/The long Snake).
Raud den Rame was one of the most fearsome chieftains among the Hålogaland Vikings, which were very feared and brutal Vikings living in a specific area of northern Norway. (Basicly the die hard berserker vikings pictured in media today.)
Great video, thank you. I'm the direct descendant of Erik the Red, so I found that portion very illuminating.
Same here man
It’s really cool how Ivar in AC Valhalla calls himself the boneless. Didn’t realize it had historical significance until watching this video. Love these little details!
You fought him yet?
eg aer ivar the boneless!!
Odin was the All Father; not the god of war. The god of war was Tyr.
Depends, Týr is also the god of justice. Thor is also the god of war, however Odin, being the Allfather, was literally the god of everything in the Norse mythology and sagas. He's even the god of Undeath!
Zach Vetter Thor was the god of thunder, Tyr was the god of Justice, there was no god of war, rather we had a goddess of war, Freya!
Einherjar Skadisson You are in error.
To simply state 'you are in error' tells me in no way why I am in 'error'. Do you mean that I'm wrong? Well, if I am, enlighten me, where am I wrong? I know that Thor is the god of thunder, however I've heard sources where he's cited as a god of war as well. The issue here is that many, many of the Norse gods are somehow linked to war, but the two gods we usually think of when we hear the word 'war' tends to be Odin and Frey, as they are those who pick out the fallen dead after the battle.
Freya, Frey's sister chooses half of the slain warriors for her own, Freya is the nordic goddess of war, there is no male god of war. Odin sends his Valkyries to choose his share, on occasion he tells them to claim a specific person. All the norse gods and most of the goddess' are warriors, unlike other pantheons, Odin was a worker of magic above all else.
anyone else miss Ragnar on Vikings? I get it that we are on to the next chapter but loved his character and the actor was very good.....bring on Ivar but RIP Ragnar!

The first Viking he talks about Harald Hardrada, during the Battle of Stamford Bridge a little excerpt from the wiki
"The English advance was then delayed by the need to pass through the choke-point presented by the bridge itself. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle has it that a giant Norse axeman (possibly armed with a Dane Axe) blocked the narrow crossing and single-handedly held up the entire English army. The story is that this axeman cut down up to 40 Englishmen and was defeated only when an English soldier floated under the bridge in a half-barrel and thrust his spear through the planks in the bridge, mortally wounding the axeman."
Excision Datsik I heard that they used arrows and that he kept them for at least 45 minutes
Not the same person. Harold led the army, he was not the warrior who held the bridge. The name of the warrior who held the bridge remains unknown.
Excision Datsik think about it one warrior its a metaphor for how the English won by guile not just brute force
I thought that was a samurai legend. Pretty sure I read about that somewhere.
This is what happens when people believe everything they read on Wikipedia. You all need to learn how to do real research. News flash:..... THERE WAS NO BRIDGE . The Battle of Stamford Bridge is so named because of a corruption over time of the Olde English word for "ford". The river is so shallow at that point that you can easily walk across it. Why would anyone take the considerable effort to build a bridge in the middle of a field, where there was no town or major road, to cross a river that came up to their knees? Why would anyone fight to get across a bridge when they could walk right across the river past it? There is NO ARCHAEOLOGICAL OR HISTORICAL EVIDENCE of a bridge ever existing there, beyond this single account of the Viking which didn't appear until much later. Pure propaganda and/or urban legend.
For those wanting to see something about Ragnars sons revenge on England watch the show The Last Kingdom. It should still be on Netflix. It follows the great pagan army as it ravages England and the last English kingdom left, Wessex led by Alfred the great trying to stop them. Alfred would go on to unite the kingdoms and form England
The main character is an Anglo son of an alderman whose father is killed in battle and he's taken in and raised as a Viking. His adopted Viking father is killed by another Viking in order to steal his adopted sister to make her his bride and he tries to go home but learns his uncle wants to kill him and be alderman himself. He flees south to Wessex and eventually swears fealty to Alfred so he can work his way up to get revenge on the people who killed his adopted father and eventually retake his birthright
It's pretty unbiased with good and bad guys on either side. Not glorified. Alfred isn't made out to be some super human figure of strength and righteousness
It also goes over the whole Christian vs pagan stuff pretty well
Even though the main character is by birth an Anglo and was baptized his identity is that of his adopted family of the Norse and pagans. Lots of side switching and fighting adopted brother against adopted brother
D M no it's still well worth a watch, this summary barely scratches the surface
TheBacknblack92 hello forgetting about Vikings you are
Kin-gaming 9000 haha tbh that show is a given
that show is awesome, well worth a viewing.
I know this is a cliche to say but the books are far superior to the show
It's fun knowing that I am related to not only Rollo, but Ragnar and Ivar as well.
So you are related to fantasy disney figures? And if they where real they would be the ancestors of thousands. And I doubt you even are a decendant since there doest exist any ancestoral docments nor dna. So stop lying.
Can't wait to dive into the comments for some great facts and no mention or quotes from the tv series Vikings.
Why's that so true lol
Yeah same
"Oh how the little pigglets would grunt if they knew how the old boar had suffered"
Bernard Cornwell's saga of Uhtred of Bebbanburg, a Saxon raised by Danes, give a very good insight into the Viking world and the battle to conquer England.
good choices! For this video, I would have thought of Harald "Finehair", who was allegedly the first king of all Norway, and also Svend I and Cnut The Great, who played an important role in the late stages of the viking era. Cheers mate!
Harald Fairhair was the first king of all Norway!

@@jaypeacock2810 it is the order of the video😂
Floki one of the best vikings
@@goncalofernandes1432 for not building maybe he betrayed ragnor
@@jaypeacock2810 He never betrayed Ragnar. He was loyal to him the entire him,killing the priest does not make Floki unloyal to Ragnar
The tone of this is what evokes calm and helps you sleep regardless of what is being uttered. Try it....you’ll see !
So fascinating..

As much as life is a lot better then it used to be, none of us will know glory like these men
Nor the horrors.
@@qzetu Just wait till WW3
I saw this and i subscribed 😁👍‼
Imagine Ragnar Lothbrok and Uhtred Ragnarson fighting together
Uhtred is a real person just not in ragnors lifetime
@@kikie397 yeah, but imagine them working together like Goku and Superman... unbeatable
Man as a swed🇸🇪 it’s nice to see all different countries being intrested in the viking history.
I am from Lagos, Nigeria..I have been studying about your people the Vikings since last year
HOW DAMN GOOD WAS VIKINGS SEASON 5?! CANT WAIT FOR THE SECOND PART!
Starley Gaming
5a was amazing. Can’t wait for 5b. Trailer looks so epic.
I'm so sad it's over, but I was not disappointed with the ending. I was certain I would be left wanting to know so much more... But it was fairly satisfying. Binge watching again soon!
17:24 Ayy that image was used for Bathory’s Hammerheart album 🤘🏻
One of the best Bathory albums!
Very interesting
i definitely think that Canute the Great, who created the North Sea Empire, deserves mention, certainly above figures like Erik or Ivar.
Ivar is the greatest viking ever ,
@@LordAloui based on what metric?
Cuz as a diseased man to become a king and just to be alive in that viking world, and to lead the greatest viking army makes him the goat
@@LordAloui right. So based on Michael Hirst's story, meaning, based on fiction.
No one knows for sure why Ivar had his name. If you knew much Viking history, you'd know there are multiple theories as to the origin of his name. He *may* have been disabled, as is depicted in the show, but there are multiple other plausible theories suggesting otherwise. Nor was the Great Heathen Army quantifiably "the greatest Viking army" - which is a statement which cannot be quantified. Nor was Ivar the Great Heathen Army's only leader, but one of many.
When there's more to discuss beyond the arguments at play in "Vikings", which isn't a historically accurate depiction of history by any means, maybe there will be some merit in the argument, but as I said, there is no really genuine metric at work here.
Hey Sithfurion sent me
Fantastic video!!
We should keep doing this, looks like a lot of fun
Nasty times to have been alive. Thanks for sharing.
New Vikings episode tonight!
"heathen!!"
"christian!!"
It was the laugh for me
So terrifying
Thanks for the video- really great to watch however......I would definitely have put Cnut in that list. The man once ruled almost all of Scandinavia and England at one time.....!
One of my favorite scenes from vikings was the blood eagle torture I replayed it so many times
That is very savage Louise
