[@nonenone5413]

thank you. I appreciate you not idealizing vikings or viking life as so many are doing these days. People seem prone to indulging in fantasy - a Hollywood version of vikings, and shockingly believing it is real. It is not real. Vikings were not feminists, nor were they noble savages, nor macho gym rat 'strongmen', nor the stylish and cocky 'tough guy' characters as portrayed on the show Vikings. They were normal people living without modern technology and making a living through a combination of raw grit and crime. Not unlike pirates of today - like the ones in Somalia.

[@AI_Imagines_History]

@@nonenone5413 I'm glad you enjoyed it. I think you're right to describe them like modern somali pirates. Vikings were ultimately opportunists.

When I was a Viking back then this was so cool and fun.

[@johnkimber2509]

I plan on writing a novel with a Viking main character, this video is very informative. Thank you 😊

[@AI_Imagines_History]

Glad it was helpful!

[@GetSoberWithMe]

I really enjoyed the way you did this video...i actually woke up wondering what a day in the life of a Viking would be and u answered perfectly

[@AI_Imagines_History]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it!

What's most impressive is that they had large-paned windows back then. I learned something new today.

[@AI_Imagines_History]

Safestyle windows was founded in England in 223ad, and many Anglo Saxon and Norse settlers had double glazing

[@HenryJasonVarga]

@@AI_Imagines_History what's most impressive is the size, as shown in the video. Pretty much what we have today. Their industry was seriously advanced.

[@violenceislife1987]

Great presentation.

Really glad you enjoyed it!

[@user-uy1rg8td1v]

​@@AI_Imagines_History Great KZbin video. I just subscribed. I also want to say I am grateful that you did not put background music in. I firmly believe that too many history youtube channels have unnecessary music and that background music is distracting, annoying, and unnecessary (especially for educational or opinionated videos with lots of talking).

[@AI_Imagines_History]

Thank you for subscribing, I occasionally use the AI voice when I'm struggling to get videos together but try to read them myself when possible.@@user-uy1rg8td1v

Hey, glad you enjoyed it. This is by no means an exhaustive list but here’s a couple of sources which may be of interest. Winroth, Anders. 2014. The Age of the Vikings. Fallgren, Jan-Henrik. 2012.

Legend or history: judge for yourself. During the Norse wars, the ''berjast við úlfa''the order or warrior faternity an elite in the service of the highest bidder an order of warriors were a warrior elite, similar to the berserkir, but more refined and religious, followers of the old Norse gods and a new creed imported the Móðir- Jörð, these Vikings could be the image we have of the Vikings helmet with horns, as some used them as a symbol of the male-goat, an allusion to his manhood used to yevar the leaders. When times of peace came, the rulers wanted to dissolve them as they were Christian kings, they hated Christianity, they plundered and killed them, not having resources, they devoted themselves to banditry, and the Scandinavian kings hunted them down and cornered them, Seeing their extinction, they fled to Iceland with 26 ships. In Iceland they were not allowed to disembark, so they went west in search of a new land and discovered a land they called TULAND, today East Greenland. As new arrivals they were forced by Móðir-Jörð's dotrine to be polite to the natives and learned from the INUIT natives, and became experts at dog sledding''-hundasleða- ''they loved it. But they kept pestering the Scandinavians, plundering their ships and coasts for firewood, food, silver and women, and the Scandinavian kings, fed up with them, searched hard for them and finally found them in Tuland (East-Greenland), killing them. After 70 years of living on those coasts they died out, and the sagas ''tales'' about the TULAND warriors were banned under penalty of death. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Where did you read about this?

[@governmentname4088]

I love that you specified how wives were forced into their roles and forced to work like slaves. Makes me know that your info is more reliable cause it its less likely to be tainted with sexism like a lot of history is. However, viking women were never "housewives". House wives didn't exist until the 1950s and were considered a "status symbol" because women were "trophy wives" and treated as objects. Anytime before that, women were doing exactly what their husband's were doing, probably on top of all of the house chores and child raising. So if the husband's were farmers, so were the women. Also, to call a housewife "idle" completely negates all of the Hardworking is involved with taking care of an entire household (laundry, dusting, cleaning, cooking, raising children 24/7 ON TOP of farming). If thats not work, do it yourself then 😂😂 although I will say "free" is a perfect way to describe an unmarried woman of this time

Boo.

[@LarsRubarthPhoto]

Oh man. Worst video I've seen in a while. You should visit some museums and read literature on that topic beside the Uhtred Books 🫣 There is not one kind of authentic depiction of a late iron age Scandinavian known as Vikings.

[@AI_Imagines_History]

Clearly haven’t watched my latest video of this is the worst you’ve seen in awhile
