I watched a lego channel review this set and complain about the "Historical inaccuracies", by which they meant the blacksmith being female, and I remember thinking "No way that's even on the list for jimmy". Boy, its nice to be proven right!
@johannageisel539010 ай бұрын
I always wonder how these people have these ideas. Women back in the day usually worked in their husband's business if he was a craftsman, they would probably have done that the same when he was a blacksmith, unless they were physically not able to. But there are female blacksmiths today, right!? So, at least some women capable of blacksmithing would have existed back then too. Probably more than today, because people would generally be more used to physically demanding work that we are today.

Hey man, BrickHammer here (the guy who submitted the original idea for the Viking village on the LEGO IDEAS website) 👋🏻 I really had a great time listening to your thoughts. Great video! Having a master's degree in history myself, I am fully aware that the Viking Village is not accurate at all but I am still super happy with how the set turned out. It is very much inspired by pop culture depictions of Vikings and also fantasy cultures like Rohan which is more fitting for a children's toy. However, I made sure it included at least one authentic helmet (the one in the forge WITHOUT the horns 😅).

"black leather viking" is a very nice little catch-all term for the fantasticized version of vikings vs the historical reality. I just now realized this, but like, vikings and pirates have a lot in common in that they were both actual, historical, groups of people who got COMPLETELY mythologized and romanticized in the modern era to the point that they barely resemble their historical counterparts at all.

Vikings aren't the pirates people picture when they hear the word "pirate", but they *_were_* pirates. As used in the Old Icelandic Norse text of Egil's Saga, the word "vikingr" is simply an Old Norse synonym for "pirate" or "freebooter;" to go a-viking was to engage in maritime armed robbery, i.e. piracy. From what I'm given to understand, in its original context the word only ever applied to the relatively small fraction of the population that actually engaged in piracy; it was never an endonym for Scandinavians generally during what is now called the "Viking Age."

I happened to be on hand when someone I know had the LEGO Titanic model delivered. The finished ship will be around 4 feet long, and the box was so heavy I could barely lift it. They could make a more authentic Viking settlement for the adult builder market, and I bet it would sell, especially if it was like that Swedish fort. And it would still be fun! As for what to do with the finished model...for the Titanic, we were joking that they should hang it from the ceiling above their staircase, angled downward.

Honestly, the historical inaccuracies were actually not as horribly bothersome as I thought they'd be when i purchased the set! And upon reading the instructions, they actually offer a bit of a history lesson on the first few pages about vikings and medieval Scandinavia! The original designer also admits that the goal was not for historical accuracy, but more so to recreate the feeling of the og lego viking sets, with the horned helmets and such lol. Still, I will never complain about hearing you talk about legos and vikings, great video! And now I feel there's even more of a cause to make a historical accurate viking set! 💪

Thank you for this--it was fun! I would still happily do Lego now, and I'm in my late 40s, especially if my nieces wanted to play, or any kids I was encountering. I happily played with Lego well into high school, and at that point, Pirate Lego was new. I was ahead of the trend on the pirate thing (this was the early '90s), and totally got into it. A friend of mine enjoyed Castle Lego (which I did, too), but we had a bet that we would play Lego of each of these factions, and would "win." My friend was not familiar with history as much as I was, and my argument for why the Pirates would win was because they had cannons and gunpowder; my friend argued Castle would win because "we have a dragon, a wizard, and a ghost." ;) We never got to have the showdown because he moved away, but we're back in touch now, and we still talk about it...and he at last admitted that I was being too kind in offering to play it out, because he has learned some history now as well. I would love to see some Celtic Lego sets--whether medieval Irish, Welsh, or ancient Gaulish! That would be fun! But I don't have the means currently to design something and submit photos, alas.

@@TheWelshViking True! VERY Anachronistic !! However, if your re-enactment group has children in it, such an activity would help THEM to understand the purpose of your group. The SCA has a very active Children's Guild. Such a "teaching tool" would help them and any children who might be attending the event. It's just a thought.

Have you played the game Mount and Blade Viking Conquest? Interested in hearing your thoughts about the game setting, story, the historical accuracy and armour and clothing. You can visit Wales too in the game.
