Love this. It annoys me how modern TV shows, games and Hollywood in general seem to revere the Vikings and disrespect their brave and honourable opponents.
They are like the medieval Spartans, awesome warriors but hardly unmatched in their own times and subjects of surface level entertaining that is in some cases almost insulting.
I don't recall anything that reveres the 'vikings', though it could be said that Vikings is a fairly positive portrayal of them compared to everything prior to it. Of course, it still has them wearing pelts and crude, colourless clothing which is neither accurate, nor complimentary. Where can I find these shows where they're 'revered'?
I remember once watching the Viking series and saw the invasion of Paris and was shocked, when in the series it told it was Paris, when it was just random episode I was watching from tv, when I didnt know was it realistic, that Vikings made their way to Paris, but back then Paris was not as big city as today, so they could make their way to Paris, when this battle was nearly 1200 years ago. Maybe after invasion of Paris by Vikings. It made the city much stronger and that allowed it later to grow a lot bigger. Its strange how well so many Viking tribes in Norway, Sweden and Denmark just got together to attack rest of europe, when how they get so many people from the north together to attack rest of europe and how they were intrested to attack rest of europe and not attack each other tribes, when they just left their homelands in big amount of ships and then totally unexpectaly attacked Britain and Russia for example and so they crushed them, when were so many and so aggresive and barbaric.
Loved the shows and I had no idea how many brave men stood firmly together to fight the raiding Vikings. Thank you for all the shows that I have seen and those I look forward to watch.
What's amazing about this historical event is that imagine if things had turned out completely differently what if the vikings had managed to take Paris in 886 history would have turned out very differently for France going forward.
Wow I think I have missed many of your videos in recent months since you said you were upgrading your video technology . I’m impressed! Hope I find the rest... this is incredible! How goes progress on the movie? I’m a supporter. ⚔️✝️🔥
If Sigfred had attempted to bypass Paris the Franks might have repaired the bridge fort behind him trapping the raiders in enemy territory. So didn't Sigfred have to reduce the Frankish strong point before advancing further south?
The scene: a school classroom in Norway or Denmark. The question: what did you do on your summer vacation? Little Vikes: well, we started out cruising down the coast then dad detoured to Paris to see how his cousins were doing on their raid. We wanted to see the Eiffel Tower but it wasn't built yet, so all we saw was a rundown wooden fort. We got to see a wood tower burned down so that was cool.!!
Hey could you do a video on the languages of Europe during the medieval era, and how much they changed over time? Someone I talk with says that the church is to blame for the language of the Europeans becoming less emotional and expressive and was only revised in the renaissance era. Thanks.
Did Charles the Fat or any sympathetic chronicler from Charles' circle evee record why he made the decisions he made? I'd be interested to know what the thinking was behind his decision making.
he was at the throat from all side, all his relatives and regional magnates vying for the imperial crown. whatever he did they wouldnt have agreed... if he had called the ban they would have refused claiming this was not their business. he then steered them away with money... they complained anyway (then duking it out for the imperial crown)lol
Wow that looks great. I'm working with a guy on getting some 1212 AD clips for me for an upcoming video on Richard the Lionheart, but the Charlemagne campaign looks awesome for this Viking stuff. Will definitely look into it. I'm not much of a gamer myself, I usually hire people out to create clips for me. Would you be interested in doing that?
you said you were gonna make video about william longsword son of rollo but you make this video you changed your mind? or you are gonna make video about william later?
4:30 "The people were aroused." Well you definitely meant roused. Aroused is turned on, which would be very weird in this instance. Still a great video and worthy of a like!
@@rollz4010 Only in England, the real death to the vikings was the christianization of Scandinavia, which is how Francia stopped the vikings, by assimilating them into Normandy.
This was an amazing video. This was not a good time for the Empire which wouldn't survive Charles' rule. He was widely viewed as being both spineless and incompetent during his reign. He certainly was
Well no at the very least within the first 5 minutes he defies all logic . Under no circumstance if the flotilla of ships numbered 300 could the army have numbered hundreds of thousands. At the most a large Viking ship held 41 men 40 to. Crew and one to man the rudder. In later times they could double that number to 81, but that’s still at a maximum 81x 300 =24,300 which in no way could that have been hundreds of thousands of men. It was most likely a mix of both sizes as not many men could afford the larger ships to may be pushing it 20,000 to 15,000. Which in itself was a massive army for that time but not hundreds of thousands.
@@jxslayz6663 It makes me wander what percentage of all men from the Scandanavian population went abroad to find this gold and glory. Im sure Norway, Sweden and Dania were not empty of men but it was probably considerably noticeable.
@@alekshukhevych2644 That would be interesting to know if it were possible. The settlements in the narrow fjords and valleys of Norway were relatively safe except from other Norse.
@Aidan Knowles Before I got into the details of "ancient" history I would wonder why were the English and French always having wars with each other. Once I dug into that huge mountain called "History" then it was obvious. One thing that's still not clear to me is why the Danes and Swedes fought each other so much. Seems the Danes fought Swedes more than any other group. Some of the fights had a reason but some I can't find a clear reason why a fight started. Strange as they're so closely related.
6:39 those are some well armed citizens lol jokes aside imagine having the Danes outflank only to give them what they wanted because you didn't like some dude good on the people of Paris saying 'no you can take that deal where the sun don't shine'.
I thought the Vikings we defeated once Charlemagne's decree and forced them to convert to Christianity and his territory stretched into Saxony and the constant wars made Widukind get baptized as well.
Let it be known it was Sigurd NOT Ragnar Lothbrok that besieged Paris! I both love and hate that damned TV show but thank Odin that entertainment does not overshadow history!

I wish there was more content made about the Varangian Guard. They were basically Vikings with power armor.
What a drama filled story! You had me on the edge of my seat!

Great to hear! Hope you continue to enjoy the videos.
Amazing video!
Really like the new viking video's!
Glad you like them!

European languages were intensely emotional and beautiful in the medieval era. The Renaissance was the result of the medieval era - the child of it.
brilliant

Who is "Count Ragnar"?
I would suggest using atilla total war. It has way better visuals than medieval 2 and more fitting. It also has a medieval ad 1212 modification.
Does it have 9th century though?

Valhalla messes up the facts. I don't understand why either. it's okay to invade England but Not Francia?
As i understand it, Rollo the Walker was with Sigfred on this Raid
I find it amazing that at the very same time Vikings were ravaging Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms!
All men saught glory and gold. And that they did find. The glory of God and the wealth of salvation.

The mongols didn't fight the Christians they have fight the Muslims in Egypt but the Muslims won
