I used to play this flash game in middle school called 1066, it was about Hardrada fail invasion of England and the Norman conquest. Maybe a decade or longer later, all my friends are telling me to watch Vikings and I talk about the last king of the Vikings, recount the The Battle of Stamford Bridge perfectly, friends were just dumbfounded. Games can be incredibly powerful teaching tools, total war is largely why i did a second degree in archaeology.

[@CoachNoahDavid]

I used to watch your videos on my previous KZbin account a couple years ago when I was really struggling with my addiction because your videos took my mind off of what I was going through. I watched a bunch of your videos back to back to back when I was trying to kick opiates because it kept my mind engaged when nothing else did. I just heard this voice after clicking on this video and it reminded me how far I’ve come from where I was the last time I heard this voice so I just wanna say thank you for putting so much effort into these awesome videos. I’m a year clean/sober now and instead of watching this to keep my mind off my sickness, I can watch it on the big screen while I’m enjoying good food, chillin with my dogs and I’ll actually enjoy it more. This channel is amazing!🙏🏼

[@HistoryDose]

That's so amazing to hear, man. Congrats on a year of sobriety! My brother and I put a lot of work into making these videos feel transportive, and there are plenty more to come. Keep up the good work on your end :) ~Chris

[@anthonymartino9748]

This video did so much justice to the legacy of Hardrada, I love it. I've listened several times at this point. My mothers' side believes we are descended from Hardrada, our line being traced back to the 1500's in Trondheim, with graves adorned with the symbols of warriors and kings. Personally I find it a bit outlandish to assume we have some kind of great lineage, but if I'm wrong and they are right, know a potential descendant of Hardrada appreciates your work. Thank You.

It's incredible these men were in their 20s, the strength of the brutality, the intelligence of men throughout history, and astounding. I honestly don't think there are many today, including our most trained soldiers who could survive those times. And those men.

[@angrypidgeon1714]

you are delusional. This is Hollywood narrative, and the vikings were organized bandits who's "glorious" conquest was over peasants, monks and at best weak local landlords who's armies were of peasants, that's why they thrived in the Middle Ages where civilization was back to city-states and militarily was even worse. Vikings dissapeared as soon as civilisation got its armies back again, proving they were shait. Vikings just as Mongols left nothing useful, and Vikings pale in comparison to Mongols, in fact the 13th warrior movie is of course wrong, the Mongols trashed Vikings just as they subjugated their russky kingdoms. Christians are greater, not only subjugated the Roman Empire, but survived, unlike Vikings and Mongols, and Christian law is the foundation of western civilisation, and Communism is also a Judeo-Christian ideology, philosophy of God. Islam is plagiarised off the Bible... and the Christians destroyed the Vikings in the end. It is more important to out-think the enemy, than out-fight it - Sun Tzu

History documentaries often spotlight Harald Hardrada, known as the last great Viking king. His dramatic life was marked by adventure, from serving in the Varangian Guard in Byzantium to claiming the Norwegian throne. Harald's ambition culminated in 1066 when he attempted to conquer England, leading to the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Though initially successful, Harald's forces were ultimately defeated by King Harold Godwinson, marking the end of the Viking Age. His bold exploits and tragic fall are frequently depicted in documentaries as a pivotal moment that shaped medieval European history.
