This is at least my third listen. The story is amazing along with the audio. I believe it was this book that got me interested in history. Thank you so much!!!
@terrell07981@At least my third listenm OyVeay terrellm I have lissend at least 50 times, Brunhilda died in England Ryan Reeves has presented this same story but attributes it to Merovingians, I mean he literally Turns Everything into a Protestant Christian take, he is a Biased teacher, I was amazed reading this History and Remembered Reeves series I had so much distaste for.
I heard an interview on NPR a show where 3 historian were discussing the untold accomplishments and achievements of the middle ages... and I laughed and thought... OMG how could someone spend sooooo much time on THIS. I found this accidentally... and trying to fight sleeplessness.... I thought this was a great choice. But after listening 2x to this narration of an exciting, entertaining, and enlightening history... I'm certain I will listen again. It really fills in my "blanks" about Europe. Congrats to narrator... he was a great choice. I love how he pronounces non English words with authority. Sooooo much has been of history has been brought into focus.... I will listen again with a map of the area so i can follow along better. This is not only a well narrated Brownworth's scholarly work and easy to "listen to" prose but displays the author's ability to weave multiple tales and multiple personalities. It is an amazing chronical of chaotic times which the author has woven into an historic map. Hats off to Brownworth and the narrator. You get an absolute 10 for narration,
The Europeans congregated into a cesspit of strife for hundreds of years after profiting off their gains from the collapsed Roman Empire. Now they are as important as the amount of ancestors they have in the US, while they criticize as their citizens beg to leave.
Some people like to work on cars, some people like watching movies. I like to spend my time learning about history, because it's just interesting & entertaining. The more you learn about history the clearer the past becomes & you can see how & why we have the things we do & how we got to this point in time.
This was such a great chronicle of my distant ancestors. I loved every minute and want to buy the book. Thanks so much for uploading. It was a real treat for this weary traveller.
This was better than expected. Thought this would be mostly about things I already knew, but I was pleasantly surprised to learn new things on this listening
We owe so much to the Norse/Vikings , yet very few know a single thing about their amazing achievements. The list of their deeds that brought so much to all of us. Dark ages my ass. Their DNA and blood flows through my veins. Skeggald, Skaggald, Sklomnir ro Kloffnir !!
28:30 The story of the Icelandic viking called "The Childlover", because he didn't approve of tossing children into the air and impaling them on a spear. Quite brutal.
I want to like this because it does present some interesting information and is MOSTLY accurate, but the small instances where it isn't accurate are really bothering me
Not having a claim to your divorced husband’s wealth unless you were married for 20 years or more is low key kinda a good idea. That would prob cut down on gold diggers Fr tho.
Just another way of saying " they have a better life than me, l want it, so rather than create a better world for me, l will steal theirs ! " No different now is it !
@@davidangry8785 the underclasses go to great effort to create themselves and blame others . vikings traveled far and wide they would trade with people that were strong, they would pillage people that were weak. as far as them being an underclass they were all freemen the vikings had an underclass called thralls they didnt go viking they were slaves.
Perhaps the first raid was evidence as to the motive behind the raids. Perhaps it was an old belief system against the new invading belief system that pushed the Scandinavians to strike? Just a hypothesis.
@@porkypig2971 The Vikings had traded with other pagans over large parts of Europe long before they began looting. But as Christianity began to spread, it became harder and harder to trade and after Charlemagne slaughtered 4,500 pagan Saxons and cut down their sacred trees, the Vikings saw that the new religion was a threat to them as well and therefore the Vikings began to attack Christians temples and this in turn turned out to be very lucrative. And this is the reason for the Viking age
Very interesting subject with loads of facts and myths. I also believe the narrator has done some of the voices for one of my favourite games Skyrim, which is very Viking.
Interesting book but seems nearly more information about the Medieval English Kings than the Norse or Vikings. Had the same experience recently listening to a long podcast about Attila (more on the Romans really) though they are definitely worthwhile reads I think this comes from the fact that it is much easier to create popular writing from available written accounts than delving into the difficult world of archaeology that makes up most of the knowledge on prehistoric or in the case of the Norse a culture with relatively few writings... waiting for that book!
At 4 hours and 16 minutes. I refuse to believe life Erickson looked at the new world turned around and left didn't even land and make camp and resupply
I thought it was Charlemagne who wouldn't allow his daughters to marry not his son Louis who didn't allow his sisters to marry. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Cheers
I only have one very small complaint, the dwarves and elves actually have their own realm, they don't live in Midgard, the elves live in alfheim, and the dwarves live in the realm nidavellir
@@YetiTurmoil well to be fair it is actually rather minor because the book is not about the mythology at all, it's mainly focused on the actual history, and nothing is going to be 100% accurate because we have no hundred percent accurate sources, most of the sources for this historical knowledge comes from hundreds of years after the Vikings were christianized

Enjoy listening to this reading, despite its common errors: right now listening to the description of norwegian/icelanders/norse coming to Greenland: the error here is that Iceland is far to the north of Southern Greenland, where Erik the Red arrived: so Greenland HERE is much more green and mild and lush than Iceland is! And the climate was much milder then, so people could grow barley etc. and the land area can be several hundred kilometers wide between sea and Icecap: more than enough to farm a tiny icelandic/norse farm. The area Erik to land in lies at the same latitude as Oslo and Bergen in Norway, where southern Iceland lies ca at the same latitudes as Nuuk in Greenland, ca. 600-800 km longer to the north than Eriks "Eastern Settlement". And north Iceland lies just below the arctic circle...and the norse settlement is long away from that as is stated in the book/this reading. And this south part of Greenland really IS green during summer! Much more so than Iceland, so Erik told the truth, is wasn't false advertising, as the book claims! I know: I lived there as a child, and now with warming climate it is becoming warmer again, and the bushes of willow and birch grow faster to become trees again: in a few protected areas there was birch trees in the 70'ties (my childhood) reaching 7-10 meters, and now they may become even higher? Now back to listening...
I know right. Typical. Maybe he's the same guy who wrote president Obamas recent speech in which he called Scotland " the emerald Isle and said our bard was "William Shakespeare."
i thank God for the conversion of the Nordic and Rus peoples, to Christianity. The ancient past is too horriffic to comprehend. The level of human suffering and oppression they caused was terrible before then. Same for most other peoples that converted.
You know, buck owens was a viking. He kinda liked the strippers a little better than some, but mostly it was just any gal who was available. He’d sing songs sometimes; even on stage or tv, but he had t’get him some, bro. That right there is a true viking!
Ethelred the Unready, also spelled Aethelred, also called Ethelred II, or Aethelred Unraed, (born 968? -died April 23, 1016, London, England), . He was an ineffectual ruler who failed to prevent the Danes from overrunning England. n the long list of English rulers there is only one king who achieved to be honored with the epithet . Alfred the Great is known today as one of the most successful kings of England and has become a national hero. The role of the national failure, however, has been ascribed to King Ethelred II, who is known as Ethelred the Unready. Both kings ruled in Anglo-Saxon times, their reigns are only about one hundred years apart and both had to face the same enemy: the Vikings from Scandinavia. Although it seems as if the two kings ruled under the same prerequisites, their reigns had very different outcomes and they have opposing reputations today. Died: April 23, 1016 London England Born: 968?

The facts on Greenland and Iceland: South Greenland lies far to the South of Iceland, so to Erik the Red it really was and still is much more green and milder in climate than Iceland. Erik settled in Southern Greenland: not above the Artic Circle as can be heard in this book. So Erik was telling the truth, and when they settled the climate was even warmer than now, so there was even more green than now, I know, I lived in his area as a child, and have visited Iceland several times. And also the author postulates that the norse people lived off the sea food, They only did so in the end, after 500 years of farming in Greenland, where the climate got colder and their barley etc. wouldn't ripen anymore
Viking is the act of going pirate or sea raiding. People from all over modern day England went "viking" as well as many other countries. That's comparable to saying everyone in the USA is part cowboy, or part bicyclist... you could be descendant to vikings.. but vikings came from all over. Wesley, Wales, Francia, Sweden, Ireland, wherever people decides to follow a ship owner on a raiding mission.

The facts on Greenland and Iceland: South Greenland lies far to the South of Iceland, so to Erik the Red it really was and still is much more green and milder in climate than Iceland. Erik settled in Southern Greenland: not above the Artic Circle as can be heard in this book. So Erik was telling the truth, and when they settled the climate was even warmer than now, so there was even more green than now, I know, I lived in his area as a child, and have visited Iceland several times.
And also the author postulates that the norse people lived off the sea food, They only did so in the end, after 500 years of farming in Greenland, where the climate got colder and their barley etc. wouldn't ripen anymore
