[@trevoranthonyjamesherbert2963]

Uí Imair is pronounced, EE EEvur. The m in Imair is actually lenited which wasn't indicated in Old Irish script on voiced consonants, meaning that it was a nasalised v rather than an m sound.

[@HistoryMarche]

Mate, your string of Viking and British isles-related videos are beginning to deserve a playlist of their own. Something that allows for easier chronological viewing. As usual, great narrative and storytelling.

[@HistoryTime]

I'm going to arrange them in chronological order once I've uploaded a few more :)

[@bobbulat1393]

Hi just to let u know that i really appreciate ur channel. Thank u for highlighting historical events that otherwise were barely footnotes in standard school history texts. The paintings and music on this channel are also amazing

[@HistoryTime]

Thanks friend!! Glad you like it! SO much more content coming, and soon!!

[@nickjudd7256]

Just found this channel and I have binged it so hard, love your work.

[@tombombadilofficial]

I play one of your playlists at least once a day and just have it playing in the background while I do work. Your channel is one of my favorites.

[@BlitzkriegDane]

This is bloody amazing..... THANK YOU!!!

[@phileon2323]

Your channel and videos are just great! Nice job!

[@brandonbohr.7301]

Good video ! Congratulations for your channel is very interesting.

[@SamIAmSXE]

Been binging your videos. Really nice work. Definitely sharing.

[@grahamjohnson2559]

Really excellent channel . This is high quality !

[@0MVR_0]

Hi, I don't mean to put more strain on you but I just finished watching all your videos and am thoroughly disappointed that they are a finite resource. Your music is never out of place and actually very good samples from composers and artists I need to get to know. Your narration is a product of your knowledge and talent and the subject matter is concerned about topics I've never heard of despite reading much on history.

[@HistoryTime]

Thanks buddy! New video coming on Saturday :)

[@Larsare98]

Just found your channel. Am really enjoying these videos. Keep it up :)

[@ericcloud1023]

I've always been fascinated by The concept of a Sea bound kingdom/Empire. Carthage, the Polynesian's, Dal Riata* (I know It's spelt wrong lol), the North Sea Empire of King Cannut of Denmark, Venice, etc. Heck even the Roman Empire could be classified as such since the Mediterranean literally sat at the heart of it.

[@TheCookieRave]

Great video, subscribed! Looking forward to seeing more of your content

[@HistoryTime]

Thanks mate! So much on the way! Very soon!

[@leornendeealdenglisc]

Fantastic video, man.

[@jameskelman9856]

Well done! Thanks!

[@kobovad]

Damn, how is it humanly possible to upload so frequently !?

[@HistoryTime]

Kobo99 Don't sleep ;)

[@kobovad]

Well, keep up the good work, you'll get a bigger audience in time!

[@n1kisking]

Werd up

[@joelcrawford28]

This content is some of the very very best of British history I have ever seen. Absolutely love it🙂👍. I love this period of history and you bring it all together in a way that is factual but in a way a bit like the very Norse Saga's themselves 🙂👍👍👍.

[@DarylTunget]

Thanks for another great video! ... "I said nothing, but felt a chill pass through me. Ragnall Ivarson was a name I knew, a name we all knew, a name that had spread fear up and down the Irish Sea. He was a Norseman who called himself the Sea King, for his lands were scattered wherever the wild waves beat on rock or sand. He ruled where the seals swam and the puffins flew, where the winds howled and where ships were wrecked, where the cold bit like a knife and the souls of drowned men moaned in the darkness. His men had captured the wild islands off Scotland, had bitten land from the coast of Ireland, and enslaved folk in Wales and on the Isle of Mann. It was a kingdom without borders, for whenever an enemy became too strong, Ragnall’s men took to their long ships and sailed to another wild coast." - Warriors of the Storm, Cornwell

[@SonGojit456]

That s a Good Book And a Very Acrane description of "The Sea King"

[@teaconnoisseur1317]

Love you channel.

[@mukhumor]

How about a history of the Uí ímair. Lovin' yer work.

[@dsala2614]

I'M ON A 3 DAY BINGE...WATCHING & REWATCHING TO SOAK IN ALL I CAN...

[@elistarr8270]

Ragnall was in a bernard cornwall novel

[@camorinbatchelder6514]

Which one?

[@elistarr8270]

TRoL MaRz i forgot

[@HistoryTime]

One of my favourites :)

[@elistarr8270]

History Time what is your overrarcing opinion on bernard cornwells saxon series

[@HistoryTime]

I love the series. Just can't wait for the next book :)

[@deliriumbee4678]

Wow amazing

[@chrismears2590]

Thank you for your excellent videos and posts History Time. I wonder what your source is for the expulsion of the vikings from Dublin in 902, and the destination of Wales for one of the groups? I'm trying to gather what info I can on the vikings in Wales and this seems very important. This is also suggested by the background map. Any goss about norse influence in Pembrokeshire?

[@HistoryTime]

Annals of Ulster mostly and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Asser's biography of Alfred is a good source on Welsh goings on at this time also. And the odd bit of archaeology pops up now and again too

[@chrismears2590]

Thanks, I've found some stuff in the Annales Cumbriae.

[@MinecraftDude793]

Literally (I mean that literally) 20 people subscribed while I was watching the Scythia video. Amazing growth!

[@HistoryTime]

It's crazy man. Subscribers have doubled in a single week. Not sure what's happening but I'm not complaining :)

[@MinecraftDude793]

Dude, in all seriousness though, all these new subscribers are truly deserved! I found this channel about two months ago doing research on Harald Hardrada, and subscribed after seeing how interesting all your other videos were. It is obvious that mountains of work are put into these videos and I am always looking forward to History Time popping up on my phone. Looking forward to all the new videos this year! Thank you.

[@HistoryTime]

Thanks buddy that means a lot!!

So even if love and lust were not in Ivar the Boneless's nature, he must have got it on at some point in his life! This is very informative.

[@shanebattles6132]

This video makes me what to go Viking

[@clayfada6993]

the vikings never ruled anything like that much of ireland .All they had was dublin waterford cork and limerick along the coast

[@JamesHussey404]

Just wondering if your going to do more on Ireland and if so what would you do for your first video?

[@oro7114]

Love the vids man but Ireland isn’t part of Great Britain as said at the end and as Britain’s name is derived from the Latin which then came back into use via the Normans (Brittany/Greater Brittany) saying British isles shouldn’t really be used when referring to Britain and Ireland.

[@finneire2081]

Infact itvis correct to include ireland saying british isles

[@vestty5802]

SCARSSURVIVED the islands are called the British isles

[@ObjectiveAnalysis]

Agreed.

[@brkhrt3595]

My grandfather One of many😎

[@jaysenst.charlesthelakehea9327]

King Raedwald and King Ragnall both names pronounced the same but are different Anglo Saxon Kings?

[@scintillam_dei]

I plan to do a realistic map of the British Isles (and Ireland) for Age of Empires 2. I love Vikings and Celts, and plan to learn Old Norse as well as Irish. Too bad the Irish prefer English.

[@andyregister4601]

I have an ancestor that I can’t find out much about Gilbert the red De Clair

[@andyregister4601]

Hey was married to Johan of Arc Plantagenet

[@andyregister4601]

That is about all I know

[@tonykillen9159]

Funny the Norse that came to Ireland became Irish but still kept abit of there culture but then became Irish fully

[@iggyfitzsimmons1168]

Funny? Welllllll

[@MJFAN666]

Turn down the music a bit man. Very hard to focus on your words.

[@JPJ740]

... does one ever harbor the notion ragnall had but a wee bit of the irish fairy in 'im ?

[@1allspub]

Great video, but please, please stop pronouncing “Ui” as “oo-ee “. It’s pronounced “ee” as in the word, see. Oh and I know your map is just supposed to be a generalization of the area the Vikings controlled, but they never controlled all of Leinster like that. They surely raided into those areas, but they never controlled it. Their area of control was limited to coastal regions like Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Limerick, etc.

[@Budismo7917]

Nice story the norse gaelics

[@azariahisrael5632]

I think Ragnar and some of these other people you cover here are ancestors to Olaf the Black and are the progenitors of clan MacLeod of which I am a decendant many times over.

[@deanfirnatine7814]

Ui' with a fada, not Ua

[@fallenknight3016]

Norse gaels?

[@thenorseman1970]

Norse & Gaelic mix

[@vestty5802]

Ragnall himself was a Norse gael

[@andreamcdaniel5138]

He is my ansister

[@finneire2081]

[@vestty5802]

The McDonald’s are related to this man

[@ardayldrm2656]

King? king of what 100 people. they are chiefs but good video thanks

[@iggyfitzsimmons1168]

The Irish and islanders of dal riata joined because Northumbria was pushing Roman Catholicism above the Celtic CHurch. Roman Catholicism led by greek colonialized semi italy.

[@garychynne1377]
