Please, call the Turkic people Turk in your videos. I have noticed that you are also dividing the Turkic world by naming each of them diffrently. Turkic people are the genetic descendants of ancient steppe people of Eurasia (East Europe and Central Asia) such as Huns, Xiongnu, Bulgars, Khazars, Oghuz, Pechenegs, Cumans, Scythians, Sarmatians, Massagetes, Cimmerians, Tocharians, Ephthalites (White Huns), Alans, Eurasian Avars, Juanjuans etc.

I'll be re-watching this many times because of all the content. I hope you will take each of High King and do some more videos giving us as much information about each period as possible. It's also very interesting to hear the Irish names for people, places, and things. This video was/is a real educative experience.

It seems like in the early Middle Ages, raw ruling class engaged in a lot of hi risk/high reward politics. Falnn was reduced to almost nothing, but through willpower, luck and ruthlessness, he clawed his way to the top. Then, because his sons kept on dying, it all slipped away with his death. This gives the Early Middle Ages a tragic, dramatic narrative that is a little less so in the high Middle Ages.

Its important to remember that their is a difference between the Scandinavian settlers and the Scandinavian raiders(Vikings). At that time lots of Scandinavians had settled into Ireland, married raised families. We also have Irish Vikings at that time (foreign Gael) who were probably just as bad as the Vikings or worse.

[@GODOBER]

I wouldn't say that Boru was making up the hatred that the Irish had for Scandinavians. Most kings in general don't have any nationalistic sentiment and are solely focused on acquiring power. The sentiment of the Irish tribesmen would have been different from that of the elite. Obviously it was very highly possible that Boru himself was using the feelings of the Irish for his own goals, so the "Norsophobia" does makes sense.

[@oghuzkhan5117]

1)A 2013 study revealed that many Irish men may be able to trace their roots back to Turkey. Focusing on the role of the Y chromosome, which is passed from father to son, the research indicates Turkish farmers arrived in Ireland about 6,000 years ago, bringing agriculture with them. Eighty-five percent of Irish men are descended from farming people from the Middle East and especially Turkey, according to the research that was conducted by scientists at the University of Leicester. The switch from hunting and gathering to farming was a crucial one in human development. Increased food production meant that populations were able to grow. In Britain, 60-65 per cent of the population has the Turkish genetic pattern, while in parts of the Iberian Peninsula it’s almost as the same as in Ireland. The research contradicts what was previously thought about Irish genealogy - that hunter-gatherers from Spain and Portugal who survived the Ice Age were our main genetic ancestors. “This particular kind of Y chromosome follows a gradient, gradually increasing in frequency from Turkey and the southeast of Europe to Ireland, where it reaches its highest frequency,” Mark Jobling from the University of Leicester told the Times. ................................................. 2)Prof. Sven Lagerbring wrote in his book: "Our ancestors are Turks who are comrades of Oden. We have got enough evidence on this subject. There are people who want to fool you into thinking they are Goths. I don't care whether it will be discrediting for me or not. Oden and his comrades were Turks." The Swedish linguist Strahlenberg and Eastern languages expert Prof. Munthe supports Prof. Sven Lagerbring on his proof about this discovery. ................................................. 3) John Macpherson in his detailed work devoted to Scots mentioned the fact of early migration of tribes from the Caspian Sea: “The first race of Asiatics, in the progress of their migrations, were naturally separated by the Caspian Sea; some directing their course to Tartary, and others to Asia Minor. Of the Tartar race are descended the Scandinavians, under which name I compared the Danes, Swedes, western Russians, and Poles: the Celts of Gaul, Italy, and Spain, were a colony from the lesser Asia Hebrew, Christian and Muslim sources unanimously accepted that Turks are descendants of Japhet, son of Noah. Mahmud al-Kashgari wrote that: “Turks have 20 branches. The race of each reaches Prophet Noah’s son Japhet, his son Turk”. Written sources, archeological and ground monuments indicate territory of Azerbaijan as a place where Prophet Noah lived. Indisputable and basic evidence is a tomb of Prophet Noah in Nakhchivan (Azerbaijan). Ptolemy mentioned that Noah lived and died in Nakhchivan. Pezron, an abbot of La Charmoye in France wrote: “Japhet was the eldest of Noah’s three sons. This patriarch’s eldest son was Gomer, the founder of a people, and who they could be but the Gomarians, from whom, according to Josephus, the Celtae or Gauls descended. And if Gomer be the true stock of the Gauls, as I have already made out by so many proofs and authorities, they must have a language quite different from other people and that was the Celtic tongue. But to carry this name no farther, which indeed properly appertained to no other than the European provinces towards the west, it was at first the language of the Gomarians in Asia, then of the Sacae, afterwards of the Titans, and also of the Cimri or Cummerians. After all which, that is a series of many ages, it became at last the language of the Celtae, who were better known by the name of Gauls” According to Sharon Turner Welsh people still call themselves Cymry (pronounced Kumri), who are descendants of Cimmerians. According to Charles Vallancey the origin of a word “Celt” is from tribes of Scytae: “… and it is not improbable that the word Celtae is likewise a corruption of Scytae, in process of time probably called Scheltae or Skeltae, Keltae or Celtae” (Vallancey. An Essay on the antiquity, 9-10). ..............................................

Apologies for discussing dna on this but that Balaresque study which the Irish Central article is discussing came out in 2010 and not 2013. At the time the study was published some scientists thought that R1b which is the majority ydna in Irishmen and most Western and Central Europeans, was from the Middle East but a newer study looking at ancient genomes has shown that R1b came from the Steppes and not from Turkey and wasn't even in Europe during the Neolithic. Irishmen to this day carry this ydna and also autosomally carry Steppe dna because of this mass exodus across Europe in the early Bronze Age by populations from the Pontic-Caspian Steppes. www.amphilsoc.org/sites/default/files/2018-08/attachments/Reich.pdf There is a very recent study called the Irish DNA Atlas which shows the Norse left quite a bit of dna in the Irish. This is from the study which only came out January last year. "A striking result of our admixture analysis is the surprising amount of Norwegian-like ancestry in our Irish clusters. We also detected high levels of Norwegian ancestry in Orcadian and Scottish clusters, and relatively low Norwegian ancestry in English and Welsh clusters. The Norwegian clusters that contribute significant ancestry to any Irish or British clusters predominantly consist of individuals from counties on the north or western coasts of Norway (Fig. 3b). These areas are noted to be regions where Norse Viking activity originated from8." www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-17124-4

@@jackieblue1267 Who said that only people from Turkey are Turks?

[@oghuzkhan5117]

@Dirk Mently It even gets more fascinating.....(source provided) We’ve known or suspected as much for a long time. American Indians and Turkic peoples of the Altai region of southern Siberia share common ancestors. American scientists Thomas Jefferson and CONSTANTINE RAFINESQUE were the first to demonstrate this genetic similarity, long before the days of DNA. Now an article in American Journal of Human Genetics has clenched the argument with mitochondrial and Y chromosomal DNA studies. In 2013, two of the world's leading scientific magazines, Nature, and Science, published articles about the analysis of whole genomes in Native Americans and their Siberian cousins. A comparison was made with populations in other regions throughout the world. The first study analyzed 48 people from Brazil. The second study analyzed 31 genomes from peoples in the U.S. and Siberia. Results from both studies confirmed that the ancestors of Native Americans left Siberia about 20,000-30,000 years ago. After these publications Dr. Balanovsky decided to conduct a larger study, and so he notified international colleagues. They immediately responded to his request. In the first stage, scientists analyzed DNA samples from the Russian biobank. "Our biobank contains more than 25,000 samples from representatives of 90 nationalities in Russia and neighboring countries," Dr. Balanovsky told RBTH. In the second stage, the DNA was analyzed according to various markers such as the Y chromosome that is inherited from the male line, as well as the mitochondrial DNA that is inherited from the female line, and other chromosomes that are combined from both parents. As a result, scientists proved beyond a doubt that Native Americans are closely related to the peoples of Altai. But during the study another discovery was made. "Besides Siberian ancestors, some Native Americans showed a puzzling relation to the indigenous peoples of Australia and Melanesia in the Pacific Ocean,'' remarked Dr. Balanovsky. "This is astounding because they are located in an almost opposite part on the planet.'' Scientists already know how humans traveled to the Americas from Altai. "Instead of the Bering Strait there was a land bridge [30,000 years ago], because during the Ice Age much water was locked in glaciers and the level of the world's oceans was lower," Dr. Balanovsky explained. ..................... How long will it take American history books to catch up to this new proof? We predict: never. The jingoistic Smithsonian has its own versions of things and these are ingrained into anthropological dogma as deeply as Manifest Destiny. Interestingly, Turkish and Muslim historians have already entered it as a basic fact of history. They have long claimed American Indians as their genetic cousins. dnaconsultants.com/american-indians-and-turkic-people-share-deep-ancestry/

Please do a video on the Huns, they are the most misunderstood people on earth. Their culture, their ethnicity , are now being contested both by Hungary and trykey, cebtral Asian people and even some Germans , during the ww1 the western Europeans used to term Germans as savage hunnic people, Germanic kings and nobles also used to wear pickle helmets.

There are many videos on the way about the Huns. The time of the Hunnic Empire is one of my favourite eras.

@@oghuzkhan5117 I am pretty certain the huns were not a Turkic people.

[@TheSamuraijim87]

Great video! The history of the Gaels is such an interesting topic, full of the bitterest infighting. I would love to see a video how this infighting continued onward in later eras, and how it began to change following the arrival of the French in 1066. I would also love to know how Gael infighting impacted the campaigns of the Frankish Lords in the High Middle Ages in claiming Irish land, and how 'Normanisation' impacted Gaelic society. Which High King is next? Brian Boru, Gudrod Crovan, Magnus Barefoot, Henry II?

[@juxyoh4659]

The Norman’s went to England on 1066. They came to Ireland in 1169

Great channel.

[@sarnxero2628]

Any recommendations for information on Tiernan Ua Ruiarc?

[@marcusbenhurr]

You guys are amazing

[@bredmond812]

I haven't watched your videos for a while. My parents are going to take a trip to Ireland, so we needed to watch something on Ireland. I like how you use the double exposures. I am curious, do you use stock footage of all the nature shots, or do you have a drone and film your own material for that?

[@M1L3Y]

Great video, thanks.

[@HistoryTime]

Thanks for watching!

I couldn't get this to play for some reason!

[@anniemaymcneely2013]

I recently found out my paternal grandma was Irish so this is awesome how you give the detailed histories ty

[@thumpforthump]

All good. T'would be the cherry on top to hear you say his surname name correctly once and Uí Néil too 😉

[@EnglishShieldwall]

You should do videos on the Hundred Years’ War as there are no documentaries other than that BBC art one to do it justice. Love the dark age stuff though.

[@HistoryTime]

I'd love to get there eventually

[@amethyst5538]

This is freaking cool!

[@honey-feeney9800]

I’m Irish American , all Irish ancestry. This is a good opportunity to learn of my ancestors .

[@LexEx913]

What's the title name of the music that starts playing at 10:38?

[@ianlilley2577]

[@who_wuddathought]

Maybe a video on Mael Sechbnaill Mac Máel ruanaid. Who drowned Turgeis/ Torgest

[@Sandbarfight]

Thank you

[@alexisdespland4939]

my mothers family's lore says they are decendants of donu king oflinster . the area around cork can you please do a video about him.

[@vallgron]

Lived in Cork all my life never heard of him and can't find him online

[@wood3876]

Corks not in Leinster, it's in Munster.

[@loonatic7]

Yeah I remember him! Good bloke.

[@TheManFromWaco]

I've always found stories of how the relationship between the Gaels and Norse was far more complex than stereotypically portrayed to be fascinating. My family name is Irish, but family records say we emigrated from County Wexford, an area with particularly heavy Norse and Gael-Norse presence. Admittedly, the records we have only go back to the 18th century so there's no way to know for sure, but I've always wondered if there was a bit of Viking mixed in somewhere in my past.

[@BryantMoore87]

Does any of your family have red hair? If yes, then probably so.

[@slainemccool2875]

@@BryantMoore87 Red hair doesn't come from the norse that's a myth

[@slainemccool2875]

I mean probably like I'm from limerick which had a heavy viking presence too similar in size to the Dublin settlements so I'm curious if my ancestry is gael/norse

[@ProfileP246]

My Grandmothers side were from Waterford and my Grandfathers side is from Scottish borderlands, both have Norse ancestry.

I'll do the rest tomorrow if I get a second.

[@janfranc8458]

And his name is Flann Sinna!!! Like your videos!

[@barra6709]

Your voice was made for narration, Pete.

[@holyfreak86]

When will you make a video about Brian Boru?

[@highgradeOG]

well done!

[@HxH2011DRA]

Good stuff

[@michaelkane1379]

Use O'Neill FFS. If you're going to OOh ee Neill [Ui'Ne'ill for O'Neill] then don't forget the Ua'Ne'ill so you accurately describe male and female descendant lines.
