The History of England: The Viking Invasion
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- The Viking age in England was a time of active invasions by Scandinavian pirates, in particular, when they reached the shores of the British Isles and began their conquests. The Vikings erased old kingdoms from the map and established their own. What the Vikings did not expect in England was to meet active resistance from the local Anglo-Saxon kings.
The confrontation on the territory of the British Isles lasted for several centuries. Battles continued on land and at sea, in the mountains and near castles. Such names as Ivar the Boneless, Ubba and Halfdan Ragnarsson, Harald Fairhair or Alfred the Great, who opposed them, inspired many stories - for example, the TV series "Vikings" or the video game "Assassin's Creed Valhalla". Watch the new video to learn about the rise and fall of the Viking Age in England.
Our last few videos have been quite popular, so in this video getting a budget we have improved:
- Map (used a more detailed map of the British Isles)
- Corrected the locations and shape of the rivers on our main map
- Added musical accompaniment to each scene in the script
Let us know if you like the improvements, we are trying to make the content better

Also what software do you use?
And after 5 long seasons, Uhtred finally got his beloved Bebbanburg back

Never realized how histocally accurate the last kingdom is. Like i thought it was mainly fiction but its fairly accurate minus a few characters and timings
14:00 You cant' deny that the Romans left an impression if one of their roads was used as a border.
Really nice map, fits well with the historical style
Thanks. We need move educational channel like yours. To understand different cultures and societies around the world. And forget about Wars and killing each other. ❤
The Viking invasion of Wessex and Mercia could not have long been maintained in the long run. They were a powerful army, but they had no longterm strategy of consolidating power over those territories, nor to make a permanent occupation for their landsmen. Alfred knew that they would soon start losing their grip over time, and then the Saxons would have a fighting chance. Still there were some close scrapes. Taking the fight to the Vikings ensured that Alfred would be left standing as the most powerful lord on the island, with a better chance of reorganising and uniting territories after the fighting was done,
*Anglo-Saxons. This happened like 300 years after Ingvaeonic split into Old English, Old Frisian and Old Saxon. The Saxons were and still are on the continent.
@@Lingist081 Sure if you want to be really really specific about it. You're talking about the whole island, I'm talking about the army of Saxons in Wessex that Alfred knew he could lead. That's all I mean. Yes, I know there were also Angles in Wessex...

Uthred, son of Uthred! 😎
Great video! I would Love to know how you made this.
Good stuff. I would recommend you get second opinions on pronunciations though.
21:40 cold moment
The inheritance of Edward I to his 2 sons is pretty inaccurate, he didn’t give away Mercia and Wessex to the two separate sons they both just proclaimed different Kings upon Edward the Elder’s death.
Ragnar Lodbrok was Norwegian not Danish
Nope, he was a Danish king.
No, he was indeed a Dane. The show Vikings isn’t historically accurate
He is Danish
Yup, Norwegian.
Is there really a difference?
So basicly Westeros map from GOT is England 🗿
Nice job
Very fascinant 👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
If I could learn more about one lost period in time it would be post-Rome Britain or pre-Rome Scandinavia. Mainly for the same reason, their satellite cultures tended to be syncretic and I wish to know what they were like before contact with any culture known to ‘the eyes of the world’

Why was it called England and not Saxon land if Wessex and Mercian kings were Saxons not Angles?
