How They Did It - Growing Up Viking DOCUMENTARY

[@gbendicion7052]

Viking son: Mom why is my last name "bigtits"? Viking mom: Dont look at me, your father named you that.

[@navilluscire2567]

More like... Norse girl: Mother! Why do the boys of the village call me *"bigtits",* it is embarrassing and I hate it! Norse mother: Ooohh...that? Why it is because you've blossomed into such a beautiful young woman. You should be happy my child, why I was known as *"bigrump",* in my youth! Norse girl: ...I regret asking. **nearly dies of secondhand embarrassment** But anyway on a more serious note I believe he (Invitus) stated that such descriptive names were for later in one's life among Norse society, basically it's a nickname or a colloquial title.

Love this series...the lives of ordinary folks of ancient civilizations are too often lost in the hype of great battles and noteworthy figures. These series about the nuts and bolts of ancient civilizations are why I subscribe.

[@projectilequestion]

That's what I thought. But when historians say "too much attention on great battles" they mean that medieval and ancient generals knew that winning a war was done through sieges, not battles. Many medieval generals had the opportunity to fight a battle with an enemy, but deliberately avoided it. But I get the context you mean it in. History often focuses on great events and glamourous figures not on the real people, which is what we are.

11:05 - I recently lived in a small communal-style neighborhood outside town for two years. Think of it as a small isolated HOA-style neighborhood with 17 houses on 14 acres and a ton of kids. All the kids, mine included, would run around from early morning until it was past dark, never had to worry unless bear or moose were coming through. All the kids would watch one another, they were all running around as kids should without a worry in the world. The problem this caused after moving back into town (health issues) was our children are now feral. My son is rough, likes to scrap, and has been on several fights in school this year, non that he caused, but he has layed out a couple kids trying to pick on him or a friend. He is all muscle, runs around with no shoes outside, etc. He makes hammers, axes, spears, and has even crafted his own bow and arrow. The neighbors call him Tom Sawyer. He is a smart kid with lots of love, however, he is all boy. My daughter will run around without shoes but is still a girly girl who can hold her own without worry. I feel my kids would have fit right in with the Viking children.

Bluetooth is a mistranslated, it should be "Blacktooth" - which can happen after bad dental problems. Nicknames were often that simple, but also more ironic and funny. As the case with one famous Viking chieftain who had brittle bone's disease, was nicknamed "strong". But I think we all hope in our heart of hearts that bigtits did actually have big tits.

[@Dial8Transmition]

Kinda funny actually; I grew up in rural Norway during the 90's and it's oddly similar to how they did it back in the viking era according to this video. People "identity" were mostly based on which town they were from, communites were tightly knit, farming and fishing were prominent, generation lived together in long houses, kids played and explored the outside world without any adult supervision and helped at home with everything from farm work to fishing etc. I don't live there anymore but I visit from time to time and sadly it seems to vanish very quickly because of urbanization, immigration, globalization etc.

Nice video, basically exactly what they will tell you in school and the national museum here in DK. Vikings were largely just picked out for being the best fighters in the village and probably the nobles who sponsored the raid. There were no professional soldiers back then so they just picked who wanted and could. The guards of the king would likely be other nobles which meant they could afford or just had time for more practice.

the -Son name is still used sort of in Norway, the most common surname is Hansen (we call it Sen-names) and is the same as Son ... but we are not using Hansen and Hansdottir (Icelanders still practice that I believe).

Plenty of kingdoms have each had plenty of slave revolts after all... To make this a little shorter, it's not exactly the chattel slavery of the early modern age but it was still incredibly cruel and painful; more so for the masses who were conquered and taken from their homes to be slaves. And it is a fair bit ignorant to sweep it all under the rug because some rich dudes in Rome talked more about their personal aids instead of the other guys who aren't even their slaves.
