Top Comments of this video!! :3
This was better than watching the tv,so absorbing,and very interesting.He certainly had something about him to get that many men to follow him everywhere. I enjoyed it so much as I never learnt history for this and it was really in depth,I also liked hearing the story from both the historians and the scholar too.π₯°

23:08 Every historical documentary in this time period has to have an experiment with long bow and arrow, and a broad sword, and whatever other weapons of the time period. It got really old in the 2000's

Never cease to amaze me the story causing Vikings to commence raiding is never told. In short Charlemagnes Christian crusade against Northern Pagans made them unite. His conquest and brutal christianization of Saxony in 785 a.d. after a decade long Campaign is the background story. All Pagan sacred sites were destroyed and those who refused to convert were slaughtered numbering several thousands. Pagan areas all over the North was interconnected and it must have seemed an existencial threat bc just North of Saxony a Fortress Wall not unlike Hadrians Wall across the main land was built during the 790s (Dannevirke). At least five major Ring-fortresses was also built during the following Century (Aggersborg, Fyrkat, Trelleborg etc). Viking raids at any and all Christian hold areas across Europe (Lindisfarne 793) was a direct cause-effect result. Christians had become legitimate targets in an all-out war for the existence of pagan belief. The Viking era had begun.
