@Arkerion the historical floki is not similar to the one in the TV show, first of the real floki was not the one to discover iceland, he was however one of the first settlers and the one who gave iceland its name because he saw an iceberg in his fjord on a day he was departing to sail back to norway i could see ragnar being a well known name in the viking age, but first off, he is semi mythical, we know that he must have existed to some degree, we dont know how much of his stories are true, the one about where he got his nickname is straight from a fairy tale story. way too many people claim decent from him, there are conflicting tales about who he was married to and the children these women had he must have had some children, but its likely that his mythological nature as a legend spurred more people to claim they are children on granchildren of him simply by nature of how far apart chronologically some claims come from means that at least one of them must be wrong or ragnar secretly lived past the snake pit and had children into old age

In Scandinavia, we still refer to christmas as "Jul", and a lot of our traditions are maintained into modernity. We would have to be complete psychos to go raiding and such, in the middle of the European Union and other modern countries. Nobody "disappeared", we're still here. We just kept up with everyone else. This is kind of like when people think "the mayans" were some mythical long gone people (who also could tell when the world wound end), when in reality, Guatemala is chock full of Mayans right this very moment. They even speak Mayan languages (well over a million speakers), and Scandinavians speak Norse languages. "Yeah but the mayans dont like sacrifice people n such", yeah and Norwegians and Swedes don't go viking raiding either, Swedes make furniture and Norwegians drill oil. Again, we'd have to be some kind of ridiculous jackasses to not adapt and develop along with the rest of the world, that's what civilizations kind of have to do. But, but, but, vikings had liek helmets n swords n such! I have a helmet, when I bicycle.

A Longship would be undetectable with modern equipment as it would have no engine signature, there would be complete radio silence and the frigid North Sea air would shadow you against thermal optics. Then you could raid Ipswich in the dead of night and raid their pizza ovens and women. No one would believe some drunken account of a viking raid in modern time from some pensioner along the docks. It's the perfect crime.

@SebHaarfagre7 жыл бұрын
Not only _excursions_ into Russia, from what I've read, the historians in general believe that both Novogorod and Kiev were founded by Nordics / Norse people. In the case of Kiev, it was probably the most long-lasting population in eastern Europe, under the multi-people "community" of Khazaria. Also Scotland is more or less half Norwegian :p Ireland and Northumbria being heavily influenced as well. And the Netherlands.

Unfortunately, yes.. The later Tsardoms and the dynasties were pretty much watered out by then, though, and predominantly Slav by the time of the Duchy of Muscowy. The Khazarians were a bit of a mix of more people, Nords, Tatars and Turk people I think, later contributing to a more distinct Ruthenian people/culture, if I got things right The Ruthenians ended up mostly in Lithuania (The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth) and later Ukraine. Vikings also settled in today's Bulgaria, but from what I gather, these people were quickly (relatively speaking) assimilated.

@tristanroberts7 жыл бұрын
The vikings didn't invade america. They established a settlement; there was never a norse army in america to do any conquering. What seems to have happened is that a bunch of greenlanders decided to sail west, found a bunch of islands and eventually came to one with a lot of wood which they didn't have much of back on greenland and that they needed quite a lot of. So, understandably, they stayed there a while, picked up some wood, came back and told others and eventually a settlement appeared primarily to trade wood (because the alternative involved importing wood from norway which would be even more expensive than from the new but nearer colony in the americas). The sagas report some fights with the natives that we don't have any direct evidence of but, seeing as the settlement disappeared (with the norse population either being killed or assimilated by the locals), it seems plausible. So yeah, it was a colony but never one backed with anywhere near enough force to call an invasion (it's unclear and not very likely that there were any dedicated warriors in the settlement at all).

KingExituS The thing is there never was a full viking invasion of the Americas and despite popular belief the vikings won every single battle fought there. It all came down to distance and lack of resources. America was discovered by the Icelandic commonwealth which not only was extremely decentralised but also only had a popukation of around 50 thousand so they didnt really have what it took to take that land for their own. and scandinavia was simply too far away for the technology at the time. maybe if Iceland was a kingdom then maybe they would gave been centralises enough to actually take some lands there but that is pretty far fetched.

tristan roberts Yes you are right, it wasn't really an invasion but much more an expolration. But couple of months ago i read in an article that Archaeologists have found some evidences such as Viking battle axes and swords in Canada which could be a hint of possible clashes between Viking settlers and natives. However as far as i know we reallly don't know what really have happend there or how big the Vikings fleet was that explored the coasts of America, but imo if the settlers managed to contact their homeland, others would have followed them, and the history of America and the world would have changed tremendously. Imagine how it would be, a Medieval America.

In Britain at least, there are some very simple things that made raiding unprofitable. One, the Vikings started to settle and rule the land. When you rule the land, you don't wanna raid it. Two, the burhs. The English kings started to build central forts that their peoples and valuables could retreat behind. The vikings did not have siege equipment, their ships were designed to land on the shore so their soldiers could raid unguarded towns and monestaries, that's why they started raiding the British area, because they had grown complacent, they were easy targets. Three, at this point, trading is more profitable. Four, trading is easier if you share the same god. The first converts probably didn't stop beleiving in Odin and Thor, but for people with many god, accepting another one called jehovah is not really that big a deal. Norse, or Germanic, mythology was very open to interpretation and varied on its own. The church was a proper institution in Britain and awareded benefits for those that shared their religion. We see this trend everywhere the vikings went that was far outside Scandinavia. Britain, Normandy, Sicily and Russia, they all mingled with the local popultions and assimilated with them.

Hence why I mention i am talking about Britain in my comment buddy. There were two situations for vikings in Britain: 1) They are raiding. When a viking was on a raid the point was to go in, get the wealth and get out, finishing the raiding season by winter where they hopefully had found a place to stay over the winter. Either that would be a spot in Britain far away or in another country entirely. Most of the raiding vikings in Britain lived in south Norway, Denmark, Eastern Ireland or Frisia. 2) They are conquering. The conquering vikings in Britain almost always wanted to defeat and subjugate their enemy in the field. This was possible for a long time, since the Burhs were a reaction towards the vikings, before that point towns had at most a earthern rampart and that was usually only the ones where the lords and their households lived. Thus they developed no need for siege weapons. As I understand it, Paris was even at the time a large city, walled and the vikings most likely knew this. Which is why they deliberatedly went into siege when their demand for tribute was denied. As I remember it all their attempts at a breakthrough failed and most of them left the siege to go pillage easier targets, so even when they did have siege weapons they failed at it. But I am not as familiar with viking affairs outside of Britain I am afraid.

It's because that's all pop culture can see when you talk about nords, is skyrim. Funny, i remember playing morrowind and picking a Nord just because they were an actual thing. What's worse: skyrim has been used to teach youth about scandinavian culture... up next, we teach youth about American culture using Duke Nukem as a learning tool. Just wait, it will happen.

DirtCrak "Skyrim used to teach" If you even make a search that broad in a simple google search, you'll see articles that refer to Rice university and Texas university using the game to teach about Norse mythology. I don't know why people still cry "citation needed" with Google right there... It's not hard.
@Cretaal7 жыл бұрын
DirtCrak Yes, because western fantasy culture is primarily influenced by Norse mythos, and the most notable additions to western fantasy culture (D&D and Lord of the Rings) are based primarily on Norse mythos to the point that Gandalf is an Odin allegory. Skyrim is being used as a tool to teach about Norse mythos, including the sagas and eddas. It is still being used as a teaching tool. Even in my friends courses (he's studying to be an astrophysicist), one of his professors pulls up the game Elite Dangerous as a visual aid to help show the students how celestial bodies form around red dwarves as opposed to blue hypergiants. In this case, the game is being used to teach astrophysics. For example: Jarls, Thanes, House carls and thralls are all properly represented social classes in skyrim. The architecture of the houses is very similar to what is known about Scandinavian architecture. Even when it comes to learning about mead, the game gives information regarding the subject, at least enough to serve as a teaching aid. There is actually little in the game regarding accurate mythos, though, aside from the droughr and trolls. Dragons existed, but only to hoard gold in mythos. Giants are just big cavemen. Then again, the article i read also referred to the witcher as the game used in reference to mythos and not skyrim. Either way, i digress. Whether it's The Witcher, Skyrim, Dragon Age or even the older Neverwinter Nights, its use as a teaching tool means that the game is being used to teach a subject, even if just briefly.

No, western fantasy culture is not. I assume you're talking about more modern ones, since earlier ones you're talking about local regional fantasy, not an generalized "western" that did not exist back then. It is influenced largely by diversity and borrowing from multiple sources, befitting of the renaissance and explorer mentality of the colonization and imperialist eras (basically, from the contact with other cultures). Norse is one of those influences (often through their more generalized Germanic roots), not the primary one. LotR which you mention, for example, is primarily Christian (one actual god, several angelic like figures that men sometimes called gods, with hints from multiple other cultures in the presentation - basically Tolkien reconciliating Christianity and multiple religions, given that in LotR the world is supposed to be our own many many years ago). Gandalf is no Odin allegory, he only shares a few aspects (specially visually, even though the depictions he borrows from are not from the viking era but much later). DnD is a LotR copy on steroids, pulling even more influences from everywhere (it has Finnic gods, Slavic gods, Egyptian Gods, and Germanic gods, among so many others it hurts to be reduced to that). Either way, being used as a tool to teach doesn't mean much - spit and chalk are teaching tools, anything can be a teaching tool as long as it can assist, somehow someway, your explanation. By itself, that aint relevant.
@Cretaal7 жыл бұрын
Louis Victor D&D has its roots in Norse mythos and began appending other cultures as time went on. Many English legends like the dragon are derived from northern Germanic roots. Yes, They later expanded to encompass other old religions. This idea of one actual god and several angelic like beings that are sometimes referred to as gods... that's not a Christian allegory, that is the Norse pantheon of Odin and the "lesser" gods. Gandalf fell with the balrog and came back later ascended with the knowledge he gained. The time he spent was short but felt like an eternity (by his own words) and this is meant to represent Odins nine days hanging in the branches of yggdrassil to gain knowledge of the runes, a significant transformation in his saga. As far as western mythos being influenced by Norse mythology, might i remind you that Yuletide used to be Juletide and Santa with his eight reindeer is largely taken from Odin and his eight legged horse, being able to see all through his hall of vallaskjalfr. Even santa clause has its origins as a Norse/Germanic god. Our cardinal directions are even named for the four dwarves that are said to hold up the sky. I'm sorry, But ancient Norse, Celtic and general Germanic practices permeate every facette of the western world because they are just as integral to its history as the greek, Roman and general Latin influence is. The architectural influence is primarily gothic in lotr... because it's fantasy and gothic architecture works just as well as elves, dwarves, trolls, dragons, merfolk, runes, etc. Google Fafnir and keep Smaug and the one ring in mind... tell me if anything starts to seem similar. Even the names of many of the characters resonate of the sagas and eddas. Are you really going to sit there and brush all this off as a Christian reference? How much do you actually know about Norse mythos compared to Christian mythos?

The sudden increase in viking migration and travel outside of Scandinavia has been linked to the simultaneous increase in population in the region. This would've led to the centralization of many viking realms and general violent upheaval as the already sparse land in the area got crowded and heavily contested. So the viking migratory period can be looked at as the search for new land to cultivate and live on outside of Scandinavia as well as the search for increased power and a better quality of life inside Scandinavia through accumulating wealth, either by raiding or trading.

You're not entirely accurate. Viking culture didn't fade out of existence, because there never was a viking culture, but there was, and still is, a Norse culture. And we know quite a lot about their daily lives, through archaeology and written sources in Nordic languages and in Latin, like Adam of Bremen's works. It should also be noted that viking raids, both large and small scale, didn't stop after Harald Hårdråda/Hardruler died at the battle of Stamford Bridge. Although, it was the last time a large viking expedition set sail to raid a Christian country outside the Scandinavia and Baltic Sea area. The most famous of the Nordic Crusades, the Norwegian Crusade,(1107-1110) only had one difference from earlier viking expeditions into France and England, aside from location, namely Papal sanction and approval.

I disagree with you, since the profession of raiding during the summer remained popular for, literally, hundreds of years in Scandinavia, and I brought up the most famous post ,,viking-age" expedition that followed all the characteristics of a large scale viking raid. As for the culture related to the profession, that did not die out either, and is still continued, to this day, in Icelandic, Faroese, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, and (Swedish speaking)Finnish coastal areas. Roslagen comes to mind. As for the profession of viking, Adam of Bremen, as well as numerous runestones (like U 617) make it abundantly clear that viking was the medieval term of ,,pirate" in Scandinavia, a profession that continued to be practiced for centuries by Scandinavians, Wends, Estonians, and other people around the Baltic Sea. With respect, I don't believe that you, or Cody, really know what you're talking about in this instance.

Rollo had also declared allegiance to the French King, and this was a leading cause to the Hundred Years' War. The French King claimed that because the English King was defended from Rollo, the English King was thus a vassal of France.

The war started when, after the death of Phillipp IV, a succession situation came, leading to a potential english king of France, which was totally illegal toward the sallic law, but didn't forbid the english king to try it anyway.

viking is often a misunderstood term. In its purest, its people from modern day Norway, Denmark and Sweden, while raiding. Same people, while engaged in farming or trading, were NOT vikings. In wider interpretation, it includes people by area, sometimes also from Oeselia and Curonia. They conducted similar raids and had similar cultures due to trade relations(but quite importantly not same religion). Its very likely that finnish tribes living by the sea also raided, although for latter there are no evidence afaik

While there could be some sort of argument for Swedes, Geats and Gutes making up a kingdom, the tribes in Finland were a separate thing.

You're completely right about that statement. Vikings, as all other raiders at that time, choose the attack the settlements that currently were undefended or easily beaten by brute force. If those requirements weren't met, the Vikings usually decided to try to trade with the indigenous population in that area, further expanding their reputation as a culture of free trade and businesses with other cultures. Swedish archaeologist have actually on Brika, the major trading place of the Vikings, discovered people who in fact had cut small furrows in their teeth. These markings are believed to be a mark of status and a sign that the person were highly influential in the trading sector of the Viking culture. As all cultures at that time, Vikings liked their slaves and didn't shun from turning human trafficking into a profit. The city of Birka, long being believed to house only trade and warriors have been proven, by Swedish archaeologist to actually not be that idyllic prosperous society that the popular belief indicates that it was. Being a Viking was a job, not a cultural group such as Nords are. That's is why it's also important to further shed some light on the fact that the people living in Birka ranged from Vikings, to slaves and craftsmen from all across Europe, the northern parts of American and the Middle east. (I know that I kinda went over board in this comment and would like to apologies for the fact that I use this as a excuse to procrastinate.)

Calling them "Vikings" is like calling Italians "Bankers" because a portion (a rather small one, I might add) of them happened to be of a certain craft. And, uh, you kind of forget that most víkings (their trips) were for trade and exploration - raiding was a smaller part of it, but everybody remembers it because it's a form of conflict. Thursday is Thor's day because you had the same gods in Anglo-Saxon mythology. You know, shared roots and stuff. More days are named after a Germanic god or goddess - Tuesday is Tīw's (Týr) day, Wednesday is Woden's (Óðinn), Friday is Frigg's (Freyja and Frigg). A very, very disappointing video.

Not very accurate or in-depth. Right off the bat, "viking" isn't a culture or a people. It meant explorer in *Norse*, which was the culture of the Scandinavian peoples (or at least very generally). Calling them Nords is also not accurate, since nobody called them that including themselves. The Norse were originally farmers, and only begun spreading due to overpopulation and the want of better farming lands. As someone else said, the "Viking Age" starting and ending in England is not true, and stems from a bias towards English writing (due to us speaking English of course, but still unfair). Many Scandinavians did grow and groom their beards, and saying that "not all Vikings had beards" actually makes it sound like not many did. You also didn't mention the method they used to navigate, which I quote from Royal Museums Greenwich: "They looked at the colour of the sea, the way the waves were moving and the way the wind was blowing. They looked out for birds and could smell if they were near land. It's very unlikely that they had a compass, although some Vikings may have used an instrument called a sun-shadow board to help them navigate." Rolo as you called him, (which is spelt wrong by the way, it should be Rollo) was actually known as Göngu-Hrólfr in the old Norse language, which meant Hrólfr the Walker. It wasn't "Totsig Godwinson" either, it was Tostig Godwineson. It was Harald Harðráði as well, not Harold Hardrada. Harðráði roughly translates to stern or hard ruler in English. Finally, and again, saying the Viking Age begun and ended in England is biased towards English language speaking sources. It arguably ended before or up to a couple hundred more years after 1066. Basically, if you are going to be telling people about the "Vikings", maybe get your facts straight first.

an additional pressure on the Norse culture (viking is a verb roughly meaning to raid), was a drop in temperature toward the end of their era causing many of their crop lands to become unusable. a good example is greenland which was green when they found it (or at least the southern part) and it was important farmland because no one else could get their to raid it. the warm period during which they thrived and expanded ended around 1000-1050.
@sirnilsolav66467 жыл бұрын
I think that the reason the Viking age ended had more to do with the formation of the Scandinavian kingdoms. Before the first kings, Scandinavia was pretty local and tribal. There was no central government or organised religion which connected people living in the countries together. People living in Sweden could have quite different cultures while at the same time there wasn't a big difference between the people in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Christianity plays a big role, but remember that simply being Christian didn't mean that they wouldn't stop raiding you. Many Vikings would continue to raid villages, churches, monasteries and continue to conquer other people's land even though they had converted. This might seem strange to us in the modern day, why would you attack monasteries, churches and villages if you're a Christian, but back then it was pretty common for Christians to attack villages, monasteries and churches during war. The difference was that raiding wasn't an open declaration of war, but something you did perhaps every summer, which wasn't something the Christian kingdoms in Europe practised. Also many converts didn't realise the implication behind their baptism. In my view, the emergence of kingdoms is the main reason the Viking Age ended. The start of more centralised governments and opposed to local tribes, the emergence of literature, organised religion and religious figure is what laid the foundation for the modern nation states of Scandinavia. The reason people feel Norwegian, Swedish and Danish as opposed to Swedes, Geats, Jyllanders, etc. is because of the more centralisation and stability of the kingdoms that came out of the Viking Age. Christianity goes hand in hand with this process, but it isn't simply "They became Christian" and then they stopped being Vikings. It is more of them becoming a kingdom which then becomes Christian which then integrates them into Christian Europe, and you don't want to piss off your new friends so you stop raiding them.
@utvara17 жыл бұрын
Scandinavia had kingdoms before recorded information given and preserved by Christians. In reality the Norse got converted by force. First Norse king of East Anglia was the first baptized Norse king when Wessex defeated him, than it was Harald Bluetooth when Otto invaded Jutland, than Hakon of Norway because he got raised by Chrisitans as a part of peace treaty and Sweden started to Christianize with Olof Eriksson. What you can gather from this is that the first "non-legendary" king of all of these kingdoms was either a first Christian king of a father of the first Christian king DEN: Gorm (P) heir Harald (C) NOR: Harald (P) heir Hakon (C) SWE: Eric (P) heir Olof (C) it seems that Christians want the narrative of "Christianity helps nations form and rulers rule". It just seems that winners who wrote history neatly managed to screw up what came before first Christian king and his immediate family.

In the Viking Age the Finns were Vikingr and very similar to the Swedes. Even up to the 16th-17th centuries Finland and Sweden were one whole nation titled Sweden. Of course this would be entirely different as Finland and Sweden were unified, individual nations while Sweden and Finland during the Viking Age were governed by a tribal system with a big bad ass Tribal leader (The king.)

Yes, but finns during the viking age were largely located at shores of lakes inland from the coast. Later in viking history, when swedes started to travel to the east in larger numbers and raiding parties, finns who lived in the coast of the gulf of finland propably supplied the "vikings" with food and boats and information of the waters. Some finns propably left with the vikings and some traided along the volga. Finland as a land with borders appeared mainly when Russia conquered the swedish eastland 1809. Before that, since the 13th century areas that now are finland, were concidered to be part of the Kingdom of Sweden. From the area of Finland segnificant numbers of people never set out to raid or explore foreign lands. Finlad still is not part of scandinavia! 😁

The big problem is as said in video, that actually very little is known of viking culture. As in viking culture in nordics etc. All the raids etc. are recorded since the other side remembered them. However that is like writing some nations history only based on the wars they fought. and there weren't any "vikings" really. Vikings weren't some separate race or ethnicity or group. As such vikings newer disappeared. "vikings" were Nords and Nords still live in Scandinavia. They never disappeared. they just stopped the activity of "viking", which it is more: to be "viking" was an activity done by Nords, not a separate group or person.

Meh if things didn't change in weird and unexpected ways why would we bother writing history? Also having Europe united under one empire kind of helped. It would have been different if people weren't already having their native cultures suppressed. Although to be fair the Romans were far better at bringing in and mixing with other cultures. The way they did it was very different to modern multiculturalism however. Instead of a variety of cultures mixing together the Romans brought elements from various cultures together and then created one single culture. It's the reason why Greek Gods = Roman Gods. They were similar to begin with but Greek cultural influences made them almost indistinguishable. Furthermore in many places local gods were still worshipped but they built Roman style temples/shrines in their sacred places and Latinised the names of their gods (Britannia is an easy example). It's a bit odd but basically no Rome = no mass conversion in Europe.

Vikings didnt really disappear, we evolved. Its like religion; christianity now has nearly nothing to do with christianity a 1000 years ago. Concepts and ideas just evolve into what can survive. But I guess "viking" as the term for actions a people from a specific region did ended.

Gone but not forgotten! I live in yorkshire and 100's of towns, villages and surnames were named by vikings. Many english words came from vikings, especially in yorkshire dales (york from jorvik, dale means valley) and much of our dialect too.

Here is something you missed, The vikings didn't spend 90% of their time raiding but rather trading. If the trade was bad well then they raided to compensate. And there are records but most of them are in one of the scandinavian languages and has never been transelated to English. And Most accurate documentarys are in one of the scandinavian languages.

what about Denmark? Harald Blåtand (Harald Blueteeth) and Gorm den Gamle (Gorm The Old)? Jellingestenen (The Jelling Stone?)
@MysteryMan8527 жыл бұрын
I don't see how Harald Bluetooth Jellingestenen is important. The conversion to christianity isn't seen as the end of the viking age, as Harald Hardrada was a christian himself. And I see no reason at all to mention Gorm the Old, as he isn't important to the subject. By this logic, might as well also mention Sigurd Snake-in-the-eye, Harald Wartooth, Sigurd Ring, so on and so forth. Would be a long video.

Wasn't Important? Harald Blåtand was basically the guy who Christianized his followers and made Christianity a thing. He also did early crusades so called '' Sword missionaries'' against his neighbors. He is a really important part of the Viking age and its way to become an Christian kingdom and great power.

You literally cannot comment on how its spelt considering his name would have been written in Nordic runes no where near to the Latin alphabet,

@@mason2879 I can because the name was officially translated into English at some point and there is surely a consensus among historians regarding the spelling, which is probably why it is spelled in a certain way rather than another in all, or at least most historical sources.

@@mason2879 That's not how this works. At first, people interpreted it differently, but then experts came up with a spelling which became official. That's why we have universally recognized ways of spelling names such as Jeffrey, even though they are of foreign origin (the name Jeffrey comes from the French name Geoffroy).

The quick play video on the thumbnail for this video on the homepage of YT was just a loop of a Viking hitting a civilian. Nothing else.
