- A lot of you may know Earl Godwin from the show Vikings Valhalla. Here he is presented to us as a calculating man in the court of Emma of Normandy and Cnut the Great. Today I will be taking you to 11th century England where the Anglo-Saxon dynasty had been pushed aside and Viking Kings had taken over. Godwin would use the ongoing chaos to his advantage in order to gain power, this is his story.

The “little finger” of Vikings Valhalla
That’s exactly what I was thinking lol
You were a never a Pharoah nor were any of your ancestors.

Thank you for highlighting the kingship of Harold Godwinson. He is much forgotten in history, being overshadowed by the Norman conquest.
Being a descendant of this family, I much appreciate the fine job you've done.
Do you know which line you are descended from?
Harold defeated Harald Harldrada which is extremely impressive.
im sure you're a descedent, with your 1 percent match
Godwin is one of my favorite characters in Vikings Valhalla. I find him a very interesting character
The only reason why I watched and kept watching Vikings Valhalla. He's such an interesting guy
Best character in the show. Absolutely love Godwin.
My favorite period in history. Great visuals and narration, thank you once again. Now I must leave my obligatory comment that will trigger people. Everyone have a great day.
I have already seen season 2 of Vikings Valhalla, this was such an interesting video, Godwin seemed to know which King to support, such an interesting historical figure :)
What a cunning man. How he played Emma of Normandy in order to marry Canute’s niece. A real chess player always 5 to 10 moves ahead.
But Emma succeeded in spoiling his wedding night with the ring of the old man he had have killed although this man took care of him in his youth.
@@alainka544 it wasn’t just the old mans ring lol it was Godwin’s family ring Athelred gave him him when his dad spoiled their name as a reminder to never forget what his father had done but he gave the ring to the man who raised him up that’s why his face looked so shocked lol he definitely didn’t care about the old man enough to have that reaction
Thank you for telling us real stories of “Valhalla Vikings” heroes 🙏 your historical research and video presentations are much appreciated 👍
So hype for this. Very controversial character in his treachery against the house of Wessex
When you're being raided by vikings, don't set half the navy on fire
This should not have to be said
The more learning about the subject I do, the more I realize Edward the Confessor was really just a traitor to his own country. As was mentioned in the video, Godwin took a leading role in reducing Norman influence in England whereas Edward seemed to be opening up the door for them in every way he could
He grew up in Normandy and his mother was norman
Forgetting that Godwin captured Edwards stepbrother? And had his eyes out out. He died soon after. Edward had plenty of reasons to hate godwin.
I have an awesome Macaw named Godwin that is great at greetings. I actually named him after Earl Godwin. This is a enjoyable video about an underrated historical figure. I haven't seen Vikings Valhalla, but, I loved the original show.
So your bird is less than 2 years old and can fully greet people?
You are really good on doing this. The music, the sounds you play on your videos, are extremely great! Thank you for this epic history of time
Never knew about his heritage that’s interesting stuff great vid mate
Its a theory, we do not actually know if it’s true or not
You, Sir, are amazing at sharing my very favorite time in history.
Thank you.
So glad you’ve done a video on him! Thank you x
Unraed = ill counseled. Ethelraed = well or noble counseled.
Amazing content by Oli. Thanks for your hard work 😃.
Chaos? Chaos is a ladder!
Another great Viking adjacent video. Thanks!
i’m just getting started, with viking history and thees video are help full.
Nicely done.
Just stumbled across your channel and I’m hooked. Well done videos and super informative. Thanks for the great content!
Thank you so much ! It means a lot ! Hope you enjoy the content !
University on the air. Ollie, thanks for another great upload.
Love this channel!!!
i've been trying to find out if jean duprat mayor of avignon who lost his head at the beginning of the french revolution, was a good or bad guy?
This is the first documentary I've watched that says Godwin actually had royal blood. That makes more sense of some of his behavior.
His intrigue mastery is beyond 5 star ck3 level 😂
Centuries later, Richard Neville the Earl of Warwick, would succeed the title of Kingmaker. And now, we have Petyr Baelish in Game of Thrones, inspired from these characters. History is so fascinating. They rhyme but it'snever the same story.
I think Tywin is most likely inspired by Godwin, consider the family politics and his relationship with the king
@@michaelmccomb2594 I suppose so.
I am reading "The Wolf Age" author Tora Skeie, which covers this period
I think The Battle Of Maldon is the real tragic loss. Had Eadric remained loyal Edmund the English would almost certainly have destroyed Cnut and his army. The line of Alfred would’ve had a much greater chance of survival as Edmund, his sons and brothers would most likely have continued to rule until the end of century at least. The Normans, for all their ambitions, probably wouldn’t have invaded if there were surging adult male members of the ancient Royal house.
My boy Bellamy
What's going on with your dates of the King's reigns?
Almost all of this is essentially Vikings fighting other Vikings.
Is Godwin earl of Wessex related to Olaf “the black” godwinson king of isle of man?
This Olaf’s surname isnt Godwinson, it’s a name the indicates he was the son of Gottredum, Gottredumson
@@michaelmccomb2594 do you know if these two families have any connections to each other?
Cause I know one part of the gudrødson family went to England to live while the rest stayed on Isle of Man I am direct descendants of Olaf the black king of the Isle of Man.
My grandfather
His son was king for a brief time though.
So he’s the father of King Harold Godwinson ?
Yes Godwinson is the son of Godwin.
Ya his son becomes king I think without watching it
🤑
So he was a politician and wouldn’t you know, from what I heard they haven’t changed a bit.
Stop lying... hablo A DNA... Not Q DNA.. that after culture mixed they were knights of Christ, olmecs and mayans...The Muurs
