CORRECTION: Apparently I misspoke and said 1814 instead of 814 at one point. Thank you to various commenters for politely (or not) letting me know!

I thought this was a channel with a few million subs
Same
The quality showes, he should have milions
I say Horses: You're good, you! You're good!
It will soon
Me lol just noticed
You outdo yourself every time! This video was stunning, and you’re a wonderful storyteller. So much love and commitment go into these videos, this channel should be viral
1000% I love this guy, sometimes he’s TOO critical and makes me cynical
Him being so small says a lot to be honest. This channel talks about subjects that would be very confronting for many people I think. People are becoming braindead these days, and it’s not their fault.
Your narration style lends itself quite well to edits for that type of mistake.
Do you think i can create a similar channel and use unique art style and storytelling and become successful ?
You obviously point out the sagas are hard to believe, but one of my favorite translations states that when he fought with Lagertha he "thought she was pretty and wished he could marry her" but never talked to her. He later married Aslaug who gave him his sons. This is different from translation to translation but I love the idea that this famous warlord had a crush he was to nervous to talk to 😂
Video essays are probably my favorite genre of RUclips videos and this channel is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels.
Just a few corrections. "Ayla" or Ælla was king of Northumberland, not England, a small kingdom in the north of the modern kingdom. He was also most likely NOT executed via blood eagle, but killed in the Battle of York in 867, at the hands of Ragnar's son's army. This is stated in the Anglo-Saxon accounts of the war, and modern historians no longer believe the blood eagle was even a real execution method, rather being the result of Scandinavian poets misunderstanding historical depictions of men lying dead on the battlefield (with their backs torn open by carrion birds) as the aforementioned mythical execution method.
I like horses videos but he’s out of his depth with this video
Yeah lol but Northumbria became England very shortly after
Did you even listen to the end?
Try starting from 10:35 and then get back to us.
Obviously they didn't. They just want to jump at the chance to be "correction police". To look smart. Haha
@@Starr_Apathy Except for the fact that I never claimed he didn't point out the fact that this is sourced from sagas. Instead, I pointed out that despite acknowledging this, he both directly got the kingdom ruled by Ælla wrong, and stated his fate by blood eagle without mentioning either specific context, or the fact that even within the context of using sagas as sources, the blood eagle is most likely not true.
Acknowledging the sagas' possible unreliability doesn't garner much when he literally cites the most sensationalist, and incorrect, interpretations of those sagas to present in his video, effectively as fact until the very last few minutes of the video.
Both decisions being clearly intentional efforts to further the clickability of the video (including using the false claim of Ælla being the king of England in the title).
I love how you can tell the art is all AI cause AI still can’t draw hands 😂
NOOOOOO, I wanted to watch the cartoon he was taking this from, it looks like a great art style. Fuck
the inability to draw hands is the least of AI's problems, try a complete lack of coherent visual form
@@metalsludge8205to the trained eye sure
When you have art that looks good. Proliferated in quantities that would taken individual quite a while to produce, AI.
Seems like it's everywhere in the content world at this point. What irks me is videos like this who's entire visual style is built on AI art. The only thing here with any character or skill is the narration. Even the scripting could have been aided by AI. At least once were a couple of iterations down the road with chat. GPT it certainly can be I'm sure.
Personally, this trend makes me want to be on RUclips less, consume less online content, and read more books. A market that hasn't been saturated by AI. Yet.
@@lawsonsantoro5361 I’m sure there r more but Vinland saga is a close bet. It’s a more modern anime so has less of the nostalgic look like in these pics but the style tbh kind of suits the the appearance of the old Euro world.
These are the sorts of videos I want to make, gritty, realist, vintage style documentaries. I applaud the effort you go to with these videos and the style is phenomenal.
Do you know these are ai generated?
I'd love to make these too. Wanna discuss and maybe team up?
Hope you're doing well dude
This is cool animation but a "gritty" documentary is like, going somewhere dangerous and talking to weird people about a controversial related subject.
In a few years, AI channels will be pumping out this kind of content. Not just script, voice over, music, and images all created by AI, but the entire channel and even video IDEAS.
Where it took this guy a few weeks to put this together, these ai channels will pump out as many 20 minute long videos as they want in a single day. Will they be quality? Maybe, who knows. There's a clear formula to this type of content.
If you thought RUclips was over saturated now, just wait...

Egil Skallagrimson was the Unkillable viking. He never lost a duel, never lost in battle, was never cut by a blade. He was a poet, father, murderer, and a defender. He was a hero. He was Egil son of Grim.
And he came out of his father's a$$ ?
Skallagrim?! He also makes great videos on swords, HEMA, and the struggles of a modern Canadian!
@@Heizenberg32 skallagrim was more of a nickname. Grim was the name. But his father was bald. So the name Skallagrim stuck. The Hema instructor used the name as a tribute to one of the most epic warriors of Iceland.
I love HEMA. I have a friend that participated in some events. I would have loved to have gotten into it.
Norse culture and history is so fascinating, very cool to know my ancestors lived in such a world ⚔️
Much of viking history though was written by non vikings.
@@kimjongil4real The bible dont kill, christians gave everyone the chance of become christian or dying, the vikings choose to become christians on their own
Warrior cultures absolutely wrecked everybody at the time. The Vikings, Mongols, Vandals, Goths, Hunns, Parthians, Spartans etc
Proud to be descended at least partially from these guys
@@myalt3019 what?
The vikings only wrecked other pagans / "warrior cultures".
they managed to lose almost every single Battle they did in continental Europe.
The vikings literally ended because hundred town militia became as strong as a thousand vikings raiders so they couldnt raid anymore and needed to settled down
Another masterwork. Thank you. A suggestion for a vid: Brian Boru was a great king and hero, but ironically would not have freed Ireland from the vikings without half of those same vikings pledging their swords to him, largely because they had married Celtic women.
And nobody in their right mind crosses a Celtic woman..!
yess a vid about my great great great great great greatgreatgreatgreatgreat etcetcetc grandfather would be cool 😉
This is by far the best story telling channel. Super underrated
So glad I found your channel, best content I've stumbled upon for a long time!
🙏
this was an absolutely beautiful video man, please don’t stop and keep going. your page is top tier content. also, idk if it was but this all reminds me of Vinland saga so much but i haven’t read it in forever.
That bit at the end struck home. Wow. Prompts ya to open mind. Thanks for that!
I gave a thumbs up before the first sentence was spoke. I watch another video and was so impressed, I just knew I would like this one. I really like the channel.
A SEA KING???! HE WAS THE PIRATE KING!!
Confirmed. He was a Sikorsky
THE ONE PIECE! THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!
@@Amongus-yu7ft🎵Can we get much higher?!? 🎵
@@manuelredgrave8348 🎵so hiiiigh🎵
I bet he buried the one piece
The last words you said about the show being a modern saga made me think a lot. Even though I dislike the series, it sunk on me why it got so popular; indeed people seem to keep enjoying the stories and tales that have been with us for centuries.
Anyways, great video and great work. Keep it up!
Instant sub, the writing and visual content was very pleasing. Horses you need to keep this up!
This is my favorite RUclips channel, hands down, period. Been binging your vids for about a week now
Beautiful. I absolutely love this style of historical, mini documentaries, with a whiff of animation/anime.
Please continue your RUclips channel and creative endeavors. 🫡
This channel is the most hidden gem I gave ever found on RUclips. Hope you will grow beyond the 1M - this is high quality content!
Stunning stuff. Beautiful voice. Love your channel
This channel has 90k subs now, guarantee it's in the millions in no time. Love this style so much
1:39 I had no idea Charlemagne lived long enough to see Napoleon 🤔
That was bugging me, I'm glad I found someone else who noticed.
Oh my god, that hurt me so much. Thank you for your solidarity.
Incredibly well told, and incredibly interesting, especially to someone with Swedish and Finnish heritage like myself. Simply amazing.
Literally the best I’m hooked now. Don’t stop my dude.
And i live on their homeground and still i hear the whispers from Ragnar and Lagertha echoing through the time passing by. Thanks for the video. 👍
as some one working in graphic design im apprehensive about AI but, you have used it very effectively to bring your videos to life
Wait this is AI art? I thought it was pics of some old anime holy shit
@@ayushgurung3876 Nah, almost all of the hands, and some other features like misaligned weapons and the, imo, mechanical looking soldiers are just AI trying to interpret this history
@@chowrites6179oddly for horses vids, it kinda works because it feels like a dream of a children's book or an old cartoon half remembered
I dont think Charlemagne died in 1814 lol
He dies in 814😂😂
He took the name Napoleon and reconquered Middle Francia, and Eastern Francia
Every single video you make is its own masterpeice
I cannot believe I just stumbled across your channel. Excellent video
New Subscriber, and I have to say, one of my favorite YT channels of all time. You tell stories brilliantly as well as choose interesting ones to share. Also the typography and art styles are always superb. Love these man, please share more!
The format reminds me a bit of Wes Anderson movies with the still titles in between and pleasant narration. Such a breath of fresh air compared to some of the aggravatingly loud and busy youtubers out there. Subbed !
I’m obsessed with ur videos please never stop doing what ur doing
I can’t believe how underrated this channel is
How your content isnt viral is beyond me. Youre a wonderful creator.
how did i not find this channel earlier , jeez i cant stop watching your content , started with the prince by machiavelli and now im sucked into ur channel hard , very interesting stuff here
"Is this real or a legend?"
"It's a real legend, alright!"
Great video - well written and paced
I very much liked the ending; I would argue it was exactly when the producers of Vikings leaned into the saga like nature of the stories that they reached their peak - for example, at the endings of Ragner himself, Björn and Lagertha (the latter a masterclass in a story arc), as well as the fever dream of Floki in Iceland. But in the final moments, the series strips it all back to the simple basis for all myths - humans living a life, and having a the rare luxury to reflect upon it outside mead hall or battle...
Incidentally, in the blood eagle, the ribs were not so much ripped out, as cut from the spine - causing the 'wings' of the eagle as they were pulled outwards. Vile, and possibly apocryphal only, torturous death.
I was searching for NASB content and then I found this channel
I love doc channels and this one needs WAY more subs
Subbed
My brain: The Unlikable Viking
Just stumbled upon your channel a few days ago, and I can't believe I haven't found it earlier. You're a great storyteller, and the videos are very interesting and extremely well-made. Keep up the good work :)
Ty! ❤️❤️❤️ this type of support keeps the videos sponsor-free
im so glad i found your channel, you're by far my favourite youtuber and you deserve a lot more subscribers! Keep up the good work
Quality of your videos is insanely good. Keep it up.
This guy is amazing at making short bio/documentary videos. He should have millions of subs
Yo, why haven't you become big? I love content like this and whenever I see a youtuber like you pop up they usually get huge real quick. Keep up the work, your editing really sets you apart by the way, it's very interesting to watch.
Gem of a channel. Love your stuff
I liked this video. Preciate the work put into it . 💯
I am genuinely in awe of this channel! First, the stories, all of them are extremely interesting. Second, the narration, the narration is exceptional, your voice is very calm, soothing, but not sing me a lullaby kind of soothing, but just the right amount to keep you engaged. Thirdly, the artwork presented here is top notch, I'm an artist myself, and these images are making me anxious because of their exceptional quality.
All in all, just keep up the good work!
The images are ai generated fyi
really well put together video that deserves much more views, keep it up we need more quality story tellers
watched you video on Marcus Aurelius and this. immediately sold on the animation, content, and narration.
COOLEST CHANNEL IVE FOUND LATELY, BLESS YOUR WORK
Incredible artwork mixed with the cinematic grain, great job
its ai bro
@@hristoiliev8542 believe it or not I know this, and I think this is a great use for it, smaller creators don't have a huge budget for production and decent AI art is good visual filler for this kind of content

Do one on Rollo The Walker, a viking so great horses could not carry him, according to legend. So he would walk to battle. My family name Gammage(Gammache France)comes from his grandson William the Conqueror, who took my Norman ancestors from Normandy and invaded England, killing the king and taking over the whole of the country in the battle of Hastings in 1066. Rollo's viking blood literally took over England and the royal bloodline is directly linked to him. Pretty interesting history. Some say he's from Iceland, some say Norway, but I got my dna tested and it said we come from Norway, and nobody in my family is from Norway
Sounds like he was just scared of riding horses.
This is one of the coolest titles I've ever seen on a RUclips video
You haven’t put out any garbage, you are a real legend
You know it's serious when the description is "💀"
Great video, just noticed a small mistake at 1:38 . King Charlemagne died in 814 not 1814.
Thank you, that was bugging me, I'm glad someone else noticed. I listened twice and then saw the error in the closed captioning also.
Thank you for being decent in the way you pointed out the slip
Ive been watching your videos and have subscribed! Good job on these
Ive been going through your videos man and this is a great channel man definitely gonna blow up soon.
bro, your channel is so good, I can't believe this video has only 4k views, you deserve so much more that that! I will share your channel with some friends, I hope to bring you more viewers :)
btw, I love the drawings in your videos, are those yours?
I wouldn't have guessed the art was AI generated until I noticed the hands. Great content
I love the little detail of the magic pants. I bet they were pretty comfy. I want those pants.
Thought this was going to be a humble Lofi video, got something even better
Seeing this video then seeing the view count actually hurts. RUclips is supposed to be a place where the good stuff rises to the top but this video is proof it’s not a flawless process & the algorithm can get it wrong sometimes!
I do feel like eventually this will blow up tho! Sometimes you just wake up one day and see you have been blessed by the YT gods and have tonnes of views lol. Fingers crossed for you. So beautifully made!
Ai can generate some images well enough to where there's no issues readily apparent, but man when it messes up, it seriously messes up
Wonderful storytelling. Absolute subscription
Eichiro Oda" Write that down, for the next OP arc! "
Ragnar had 6 sons. Ragnar was a legendary king, which means his exploits are not to be seen literal.
Ubbe, hvitserk, Bjørn, Ivar, Sigurd and Ragnvald
Thank you for this saga me being a real Viking appreciates you
These are amazing pieces of work. Glad you're starting to rocket, your numbers are insane 14k since I watched you yesterday! Totally deserved, you have such a skill for this.
Now I know what it would look like if Miyazaki did a Medieval/Dark Ages Viking movie.
just found out about this channel. You do great work. subbed.
Ragnar was the mascot of the Minnesota Vikings and road an Excelsior-Henderson motorcycle that I helped build.
Are you using AI to create your images?
"Pants with magic fabric that makes me unkillable in battle" is a very fancy, too wordy way to say "lucky pants".
The dude had a pair of "lucky pants". Or, he was justifying why he had a pair of comfy pants he liked at all times. Perhaps he was the greatest [known] autistic warrior of all time, who didn't like the sensation of other fabrics?
"ok mr fancy pants."
THAT'S MASTER FANCY PANTS..*draws sword*
I absolutely love this channel
Bro this was awesome wtaf. Also the art you use is stunning, do you do it yourself?
AI art is not art only images... but what you have made with those images is art well done sir
People used to say the same about photography.
@@CryptoTonight9393 dont be a smart ass i hate fucking Ai and complimented him anyway and its not the same humans and a bit of chemistry make photos
AI is not art because it steals its line work from other artists it has no ideas of its own at all some may say well its just a tool.. but no its poison it should be recognized as such if you have a desire to make art you should learn to paint,draw,film or whatever else you want dont let AI just do it for you !
the discipline that it takes you to master your craft is good for the soul of the artiest and allows them to learn much of the HUMAN experience there is a reason the best scientists in history were all artists of one kind or another its good for the mind to draw to really draw something you have to know how it works how it moves how light falls upon how you see it and most importantly what you feel and think about it !
What do you have to KNOW about life to write a text prompt ? we are becoming to lazy to be human its one thing to take us out of the field or the factory but taking us out of the studio will be the death of man ! man kinds purpose we are built to make things its how we grow and understand and survive its ARE magic and ARE birth rite birds fly fish swim humans craft when that goes we go !
yeah it took me a while to figure out it was AI art, it looks so good tho
@@CryptoTonight9393 Yeah that's not the same lol Don't act like this is photography. You are just stealing other peoples work.
@@arminkuburas1696people said the same thing about photography
For a long time, Frankish defenses were well-organized enough to deter any attacks from the horse
Great video mate, and absolutely loved the ending !
Just finally subbed your videos are the shit thank you 🙏🏼
I’m really glad I’ve found your channel lately. You’re a great story teller. May I ask where you get your images? They’re always so on point with the story you’re telling. Are they AI generated?
Le .
They are A.I. yes
For a second I thought it was from a hidden Ghibli Film lmao
was kinda disappointed to find out that it’s AI but still very informative and quality videos
I like that comment, that the recent Vikings show is like a modern telling of the saga. I mean, it literally is but it's still not thought of that openly.
You realize the show "vikings" is like 75% fiction, it's actually super disappointing to most Scandinavian people
cool
It was originally made by history channel.
Another excellent production!
Such great leaders should come back in style
1:37 1814? I know you meant 814, but it tickles me to think Vikings were around just 200 years ago
Was wondering if anybody else caught that haha
well there might have been some guy who went down with a boat from one of the scandinavian countiries to some other country and robbed some one
Re: The death of Charlemagne. Of course, you thought you were saying that he died in 814, but it comes out in audio & CC as 1814. There was different Empereur tearing up Europe at that time . . .
the flow of time is convoluted
Ragnar is possibly my favorite person in all of history. I have studyed him undying and to this day learn more and more about him. I have books. Ive watch the Vinings shows. I looo e Ranganr and his sons.
Wow this makes the show, Vikings, look like childs play.
OMG, I can't belive this is AI art 😢
Looks pretty cool imo
@@bickyboo7789to the untrained eye ,yes
But i don't like those muchy fingers , yuck
hey man, great content but how can Charlemagne die in 1814? 1:38 Maybe I heard wrong because english is not my first language.
He died in 814 AD, not 1814. I was confused too.
Dude I love your content ❤
Roland the headless Thompson gunner.
These drawings are so crazy !! Id love to see a tutorial on how you use AI to get them :)
@horses , i hate to be this person, but i think maybe you meant to say that Charlemagne died in 814, not 1814.
What a wonderful video, bro! Absolutely awesome!
the illustrations are beautiful!
Charlemagne absolutely did not live until 1814. If he had, he would have been 1,067 years old when he died. He died in 814 A.D.
Charlemagne died in 814 not 1814. Sweet vid tho
Obviously he said that on mistake
