Lady, the Danish Vikings were the most Viking of them all - they were considered the most powerful military and political force among the Northerners and their influence on western Europe is well documented. In fact, most of what we know about Vikings today comes from the Danish Vikings. It was mostly the Danish Vikings who raided the Brits and settled in Britain - this Viking territory became known as the Danelaw.

Yes but ever since the Viking Show everyone thinks Vikings are from Norway. But yes it is true Norwegian Vikings took some small Islands and the Swedish Vikings went into Russia. The Danish Vikings (no borders were defined at that time) took most of England. Vikings are like 99% Danish. It also stems from the Cimbr and the Teutons that most likely originated from Jutland (Denmark). The Norwegian effort to change history about the Vikings are futile. Vikings at their best is Danish warriors

@@traver1965 to be fair to our nordic brothers saying that vikings are 99% danish is not true. the norwegians settled the shetland islands ,faroe islands, iceland, greenland and discovered north america. also they were active in ireland founding the citys of waterford and dublin. they along with the swedes also participated in several attacks on england. the swedes gave name to modern day russia as one of their leaders was called rus. also danes and norwegians traved to russia and ukraine. try youtubing evidence of vikings in south america by robert zepehr. they have found mummies of dogs from the danish island of als. so it turns out that perhaps king canute (knut) the great had sent a expensionaly force down there !!

Its crazy how much hollywood and pop culture has made vikings purely "norweigian", because the steroetypes are tall blonde moutain dwelling people... which is absolutely not true, Denmark history is seriously overlooked, ofcourse Norway also had vikings but they werent raiding like the danes, they kept most in norway and had wars inland, but ofcourse some of them set sail not for war but for exploring, my point is people think vikings are norweigian, when they in fact are a lot more Danish, sad what an inacurrate TV show can do..

Danes were the most vikings. People often think it was the norwegians because of tv-shows like Vikings. But in truth, the danes did most of the raiding, most of the famous vikings were danes, most of the sagas are danish or about danish vikings. They were in Britain, france, the netherlands, they took Paris.

way back when i lived in the states i was told that most vikings came from norway. in reality back in them there viking days denmark had the biggest population of the 3 scandinavian countries accounting to statistics cirka 50%; norway and sweden around 25% each. whenever they make viking movies they always portray the beautiful norwegian fjords because it fits so well the ruggedness of the viking image. in reality not many crops grow on steep mountain cliffs . so boring flat denmark rarely gets any mention !! ragnar lothbrok and his sons were all danes. about 2 years ago i saw the results of an english dna research on the angle saxons. the angles came from what was then southern denmark , but i always considered the saxons to be german. it turns out that they also where danish, not german. that was really surprising. the latest viking movie staring nicole kidman called the northmen which was about the story of amleth / hamlet was about danish vikings. in reality amleth lived on the small island of mors situated in the limfjord around 500 years or so prior to the viking age . i haven't seen it ,but was told it was filmed alot in iceland which again doesn't look much like denmark.also the teutones and cimber tribes were among the first to attack the roman empire around that time as well. they came from himmerland in the central part of jutland.

I don’t think that there have been any archeologic excavations around the area but this shouldn’t stop an interesting story. Prince Amled/Amleth is supposed to be buried in an old bronze age grave hill close to the small village “Ammelhede” which is situated just outside Randers, close to the road to Grenå. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2e8ZnungJVgfaM

It's one of the oldest cities in Denmark. The beautiful cathedral on the top of the hill in the centre of the city is visible miles away (as far as 20 km) from all directions. Also Roskilde has a lot of water springs quite close to the cathedral (10 or 12 - it used to be more than 22 in the middle ages). That is the highest number of springs of any city north of the Alps. And Roskilde has several other churches. One of them - Sct. Jorgensbjerg Church near the habour was built around 1080 with some parts dating as far back as year 1040.

Since the pre-viking age, Denmark ruled both presentday Norway ( indepent in 1814 ) and Sweden ( independant 1563 ) The Anglo-Saxon ( =England ) called the vikings - Danes, lived under Danelaw ( Danish Law ) and paid Danegeld. Why ? - because Denmark was the only country with enough forces to Conquer England. The “Norwegians” just exploring Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, Greenland and North America. The “Swedish” viking went east and establish Trading router to Istanbul. Danish vikings conquered England ( by Sven Forkbeard, Canute the Great etc ) And the Kings lived in Lejre , just outside Roskilde from 500 - 983 and when Harald Bluetooth made Christianity the official religion, he founded Roskilde in 983 and made it the new Christian Capital of Denmark ( and therefor also Capital of Scandinavian ) That is why it was important to protect Roskilde and sink the ships, now found in Roskilde vikingship museum. Beside written sources, the DNA scientist - Eske Willerslev also concluded this in a dna-study of 400 viking skeletons, in 2021.

And around 1 km from this site, in Skjoldungernes Land, they have build a full scale replica of theese viking halls found in Lejre. Worth a trip. And just to make it full circle : Normandy, France ( = Northmans Land ) was established by the Danish viking - Rollo And his Great Great grandson - William the conquer, who conquered England 1066, due to his heritage after other Danish Kings of England, is the reason why the English Royals are in family with the Danish Royals.

@@TravelinYoung If you have ever wondered about the many deep similarities in basic vocabulary and grammar between English and the three very similar Scandinavian languages, that will often look like some weird form of older Pseudo (Middle) English at the basic level to the eyes of an English speaking person, this brilliant video from Langfocus about 'Viking Influence on the English Language" should be of great interest to you folks: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXWkhmaKpdqhra8 This one is also well worth a watch: 😉 How the Vikings Changed the English Language kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4u5YnWFmKycjJI Even today English is a fairly easy language for Danes and the other Scandinavians to learn because of these many deep similarities - as if we by sheer magic already know a simplistic older Germanic ( AS + ON ) core English in advance and mysteriously feel at home straight away ( not having to think very much, which is of course always a good thing 😉) - and then "just" need to fill in all the gaps and climb a few hurdles here and there - like the peculiar "Ungermanic" use in E of the word "do" and the use of "-ing" with word tenses to express the progressive mood. So English is almost second nature to us - also because of massive influences from movies, TV-series and music etc. in recent decades -, whereas the German language with its complicated grammar still remains a big and scary mystery to most Scandinavians, who can typically only get along in German at the most basic level - or just give up straight away or don't bother at all.

The boats in the museum are called "Skuldelev skibene" after where they were found. It is 30 km north of Roskilde, closer to Frederikssund. So you started out wrong. They did find some viking ships, when the build the harbour for the reconstructed vikingships, bur none of them are on display. And finaly - the ship you where sailing comes from the Faroe island. It is not a "real" vikingship. It dates, if I remember correct, from the late 1800. So it is the last type of longboat, that dates back to the viking longboat.

The last time a "full Leding" was gathered in Limfjorden, near the famous Aggersborg, ring-fortress, was by the unfortunate King, Knud d 4. Hellige (Saint!) in 1086, who could not decide when to start the attack. So he finally had to flee with a few of his loyal men and ended in, of all places, St. Albans Church in Odense, where he claimed Sanctuary by the Altar! But real Vikings didn't care about such nonsense, so he was killed in the church with his men! His bones, as also his Bishop, is to be seen in the church to this day!

One of the not so loved and repaired ships in the Ship Museum is supposed to have been one of the Leding ships, intended for the Kings asking for a fleet.

I think it is also the ship with the little carved "Dragon Head" in its side, as also on the reconstructed sailing ship!

I personally never understood the glorification of the vikings, they had some neat boats though :D

The boats are both awesome and seemingly unbearable to spend extended amounts of time on. Not sure how they did it!

Old Eng. brydhlop = wedding, litt. a bride leap ~ Dan. & Nor. bryllup, Swe. bröllop. Interesting fact: The Ro(ar) in the name Roskilde [ros-keel*-le] ( Roar's Well or Spring, OE cwylla ! ) is according to legend the King Hrothgar of Beowulf fame, who was helped by his Geatish ("Swedish") kinsman and warrior Beowulf and his crew, when his kingdom was threatened by the dreadful monster Grendel, who was killing several of his men every night in and around the royal hall Heorot ( Hart / Hjort ). So next time you may want to go to nearby Lejre ( or Lethre in older Dan. 😉 ), where these dramatic events are said to have taken place according to legend, and where there is an iron age etc. research center, which now even has a full scale replica of a huge royal iron age / Viking age hall (2020), based on the data from the archeological excavations of the remains of several such halls that have been discovered in that area in recent years - some of which even date from the right age ( c. 600 - 700 AD ). So it would seem that there is at least some degree of historical thruth behind all these legends about the first (inofficial) kings ( Shieldings / Skjoldunger = descendants of King Shield / Skjold ) of at least the Eastern part of present day Denmark in their royal seat in Lejre. sagnlandet.dk /en/denmarks-largest-viking-kings-hall/ lejremuseum.dk/en

While it is believed that the ships in the museum were sunk to protect Roskilde, they were blocking the fjord about 20 km from the town. da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skuldelev-skibene
