These Viking Britain videos are an enthralling exploration of a fascinating era in history. I'm captivated by the tales of Norse invaders and their impact on Britain!

Basically my ancestors. Red beard, brown hair, blue eyes, nordic face, GrandDad from Ireland a Mullen. Nanna was a Rolland from Yorkshire(Doncaster), Nanni was a Mushrow with some French ancestory, and my Pop was a Hughes from Liverpool. Im completely lactose tolerant, and mainly eat meat and dairy as most of my diet and always have. I feel extremely drawn to dark Age England! And also to Rome, and the Vikings, by proxy of their occupations and integrations

Basically the end product of rape.

Anytime I hear about the St. Brice's Day massacre, or the Dane murder as it's called here in Sweden, I always get chills and feel such sadness for the people who lost their lives that day. Maybe they weren't killed by Anglo-Saxon friends and neighbors, but still these were people they must have known in passing, seen on the road, or in the fields, or from the next village over. These were not strangers from far away that showed up one day. It makes the whole event so much more chilling to me.

And so very sad.

Really interesting. I ran out of time to see the Viking Museum in York when I was there. The day I had intended to go they were filming there ( someone said Dame Judy Dench but I’ve never seen anything in Australia about it) and I left the next day. Sad, but at least we have wonderful programs like this to help us ‘see’. Thank you 🙏👵🇦🇺

I've got a set of Lewis chessmen bought from the Stornoway museum where I saw the originals. Lewis and Harris are beautiful - white sands, clear sea and the history hits you as you get off the ferry. Do go, you won't regret it. ❤

The History Channel Viking Series, the BBC and Netflix production "The Last Kingdom" and Netflix original "Vikings Valhalla" do much honor to Britain's amazing Heritage. All three series available now on Netflix (2024). Enjoy!

Very well narrated to make it more than interesting. thank you! Dr Roberts

Thank you, loved this! This American from Yankee New ENGLAND whose forebears came here in the 1700s and fought in the Revolutionary War is proud of her British/English, Scottish/Irish, French and Viking ancestry, per DNA tests, that dates all the way back to William the Conqueror. Family surname, Drew, on my maternal side i.e. mother's maiden name, is mentioned in his Doomsday Book in 1066 where he compiled all the original families in England! Always fascinated by British and Viking history!! ♥♥

I was in the US Navy and was stationed at RAF Edzell for a total of 7 years. I guess archaeologists go hunting during the 2 weeks which they call summer.

Hnefatafl - or as we call it fistboard. We play it still. And runes are still tought in the schools here.

Wow thanks for adding the progress-bar indicator thing during the ad placement I really _really_ appreciate it when YT videos have that unfortunately tho its super rare to see

I live in Australia but have family connections in Skye. My understanding is that there is Viking history there as well.

It was part of the Kingdom of the Western Isles and was viking until the 13th century.

As a coin collector, what I would do to be able to acquire a coin like that King Athelstan buried in a hoard nearly uncirculated. Most of the 'decent' quality ones you can find from that era, if you can find them, have been defaced, chipped away at by merchants collecting silver tiny bit by tiny bit before using those coins to make purchases. That one was as close to immaculate as I have seen from ancient coins. You can find Roman coins intact fairly easily and coins from other more prosperous eras in good shape. But there is a reason that specific coin is a museum piece and not in some average collector's hands.

Brilliantly done and so interesting.

I live in a village called Norton, Stockton on tees and we had a large Anglo Saxon burial ground that got discovered by some kids in 1984, 120 bodies were discovered.

Great show! Good job Dr Roberts

Thanks for your work and time ❤

Thanks so much for posting

What's the difference between men in expensive uniforms coming to overtake your land and men in fur skins doing the same? Why don't we see Romans as "raiders" too? Romans also came armed, made exacting demands, killed objectors and occupied territory. Roman soldiers also traded with locals and even took wives from among them. And both engaged in slavery. I get it that raids are sudden and violent, but whether the victims are surprised or not, they become conquered peoples under threat of death.

Weak minds are blinded by only their own perception of reality. And of coarse today the open minded strong people extracting the truth know that the version people are told to believe is based on lies. that is another sign of weakness. But to be honest I am not affected by their different history versions since I know the truth myself. I think they also not deserve to know the truth since they also not taking the responsibility to not lie to their own souls , instead rather believe and betray your inner self deeply .

So interesting.

This is amazing. Thank you.

I sense chemistry between the presenter and the archaeologist. 😊

You guys want a connection to the Vikings so bad but the Vikings came from a very small village and all their stuff is in that village today.
