I’ll sort out a detailed bibliography and list of sources I used once I have recovered my mind a little... cheers all. Don’t forget to like and comment if you enjoyed this vid as it helps the algorithm to make it worthwhile and makes more projects like this one possible in the future. If you enjoyed it consider subscribing for 100+ other vids I’ve already made plus tons more epics in the future.

[@Shapesphere310]

I studied History, Archaeology, Celtic Civilisation and Classical Civilisation at the University of Glasgow, with a lot of focus on the transitions from Late Antiquity through to the High Middle Ages, and did a course that covered the Welsh poetry covered here, and several on the Anglo-Saxon world. all under some of the leading scholars in these fields. I can say with some authority then, that this is a colossal work for one person to achieve. Even knitting these threads together into a coherent written narrative would be a massive challenge, let alone single-handedly producing a 3 and a half hour film that even someone with a casual interest could enjoy.. The scale and scope of such a tale is enormous and exceptionally difficult to understand, and yet you have made it easily digestible. I will recommend this video as a starting point for anyone wishing to understand the "Dark Ages", and indeed for any scholar of the period to enjoy. Wonderful, wonderful piece of work. Bravo!

In his series he goes from the fall of Roman Britain to the age of Alfred the Great in about two minutes. Now, for free, around 20 years later we can watch a documentary that's over three hours long just about that same era that Schama brushed over in a few short paragraphs. That's truly amazing.

This should be used to teach British history in educational settings all around the world. Thankyou

[@okcquilter]

@Orbán Viktor Mihály There is so much history that most will never hear of or understand. I thought the Dark Ages were called such because there weren't many historians and not much was known. Knowing now that it was literally dark for generations because of whatever nature threw at the human race; volcanoes, meteors, plagues and incomprehensible weather conditions. This is an amazing body of work. I'm delighted to know more of the land where I was born in post-war Britain at Burderop Park R.A.F., Swindon. Growing up in West Texas I learned the history of these lands and not much besides the history of the European settlers. Not much of the history of those peoples that came here and made a new civilization. Thank you for the knowledge. I understand a little more of the ancients and what is left of those early Christian cultures.

The mythos, the presentation, the era, the wonder, the speculation, the imagining, the simple truth that entire worlds (however small) can be lost or altered by the stroke of a pen is somewhat maddening & riveting. It teeters on defiance of the imagination. Yet there so equally defiant stand the ruins and records. I'd shake your hand and buy a sturdy round on your part, if ever we met.

Oh, so now I know why you’ve been out of sight, bunkered down in your hill fort! I was hooked after the first 10 minutes and almost saw all of it in one sitting… had to see the last 45 minutes the next day but I’d say, hands down, definitely one of your best and my guess is probably the best program on all of these northern kings and their kingdoms, which to most of us outside of the UK are a complete mystery or just myth and legend. I love how you didn’t just limit your focus to the British Isles or even just western Europe, but also told us what was going on in the world at large throughout this time and how it impacted Britain. The scenery that you captured - spectacular! The region is now on my list of places to visit in the next few years. Great job Pete, this was truly worth the three year wait!

i love how you present historical legends- describing what they did and what people wrote about them, then revealing at the end of this what we know them as. It makes it really easy to understand how magic was so readily believed in and how history so easily became legendaric. When I go walking in the peak district, and climb to the top of a hill, you can see the north stretched all around, and I imagine how it must have looked to the people that lived here thousands of years before us. Your documentary made me think about how there is still a roman fort down the road from where I live- I walk past it's old walls on my way to work- and how someone else walked past the same walls 2000 years ago. I wonder if they were also tired and complaining about going to work, and if teenagers went to hang out by the old roman walls when they were bored like they do now. I wonder what people will think of us in 2000 years, and what will remain, and if people like you will dedicate themselves to trying to find out who we were. I have watched this in segments over the last 4 days and been riveted. You are fantastic at this, Mr History Time. Thank you very much.

Its something like 535 536 and 538 there was frosts in July in tree rings in Europe. The collapse of the Bronze Age was something similar but on a much longer scale, in Babylonian texts they say 18 years without a summer, with scientists then taking sediment readings and they showed it was a 300 year period of significant cooling. The reason the Eurasian genepool is so small is because for 40,000 years we have been subject to the most extreme climate shifts where it has thinned the numbers to such an extent that only the strongest and most gifted people survived. After each cooling event and massive death rates it presses the reset button on what the world was like before allowing people with no standing to rise up in society. This makes way for new ideas and inventions and this constant cycle of destruction and rebuilding the world new again is what turned Eurasians into the most successful people on the planet. Previous to the Bronze Age collapse iron had been used for centuries before in jewellery so it wasnt like they had not discovered iron previous to the collapse, but the collapse of civilizations that traded tin on order to make bronze and the breakdown of the trade networks ended the Bronze Age in the Med and Middle East which forced them to start making weapons out of iron. Iron then lead to steel, but would we have ever made steel if we never had this collapse in the first place...

[@dreddykrugernew]

References to Ragnarok from the Sagas------Gylfaginning chapter Chapter 51 provides a detailed account of Ragnarök interspersed with various quotes from Völuspá, while chapters 52 and 53 describe the aftermath of these events. In Chapter 51, High states that the first sign of Ragnarök will be Fimbulwinter, during which time three winters will arrive without a summer, and the sun will be useless. High details that, prior to these winters, three earlier winters will have occurred, marked with great battles throughout the world. During this time, greed will cause brothers to kill brothers, and fathers and sons will suffer from the collapse of kinship bonds. High then quotes stanza 45 of Völuspá. Next, High describes that the wolf will swallow the sun, then his brother will swallow the moon, and mankind will consider the occurrence as a great disaster resulting in much ruin. The stars will disappear. The earth and mountains will shake so violently that the trees will come loose from the soil, the mountains will topple, and all restraints will break, causing Fenrir to break free from his bonds.

Thank you from a one-time Medieval History student at university. I enjoyed the blending of scenery, archaeology, old texts, and the annals of the kings and kingdoms that came and went. Having read Bede, and being familiar with the expansion and uniting of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, it was good to hear the contemporary British, Pictish, and Irish/Scottish history -- where the ebbs and flows of the north -- and intermarriages between Celtic and Anglian dynasties -- mirror what happened in the south ... where you get, for example, a "West Saxon" leader with the curiously Welsh-like name of Caedwealla. It is interesting that the Northumbrian nobility, just before Bede's time, included people like Cedd and Chad (who became prominent bishops and saints) -- whose names are Celtic, not Germanic. This seems to indicate some serious intermixing of Celts and Anglo-Saxons, even at the highest levels of society. The Angles' language -- with a fair dose of Norse influence -- won out culturally, but that does not mean that every Celtic inhabitant had been replaced by an Anglo-Saxon immigrant. Britain reflects *many* successive waves of influence, and the history you relate is as much the heritage of modern Britain as the history of the Anglo-Saxons (as interesting as that is too).
