Sweden went east, and people in the east called them the Rus aka the rowing people, in Finish and Estonia Sweden is still called Ruotsi. The Rus from Swden went down the Dnepr river in Ukraine and settled along it's shore and became the Kievan Rus that founded the city Kyev. Those people later founded Moscow and became Russia. It's one of the reasons why Putin is so hung up on Ukraine, the beginning of Russian history started in Kiev. A joke in Sweden is that Sweden is the founder of Russia because it has the name of the Swedes aka Rus.

@@WoWFtw8 That's arguably the same thing (and your statement therefore empirically fallacious). That's literally how the word came to be. Just the popular designation changed, and then later the popular associations changed. You know no Norse/Scandinavian people called themselves "Norse", right? The closest you get is "Normanni" (Romans referring to Norway including Båhuslén) meaning "men of the North". Dutch invented/popularized the term "Norse" (people of the North, but this time not distinguishing from Swedish and Danish tribes (now nations) and as such meaning Norwegians, Danes and Swedes) and "Scandinavian" is just another word for the geographical area containing the relevant modern nations. Norse mythology is another subject but with much of the same backstory. Contemporarily, I believe it was called Asatrú.

Fun fact: Current Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and the late Queen Elizabeth II of England were third cousins, with both royal ladies descending from Queen Victoria and King Christian IX of Denmark. The Danish royal lineage can be tracked all the way back to year 900, which goes to show how much of a continued influence Danish royalty and rule has had in England up until this day. This shared bloodline of course extends to the rest of the Scandinavian royalty too. Many royal bloodlines of European kingdoms are intertwined, but especially the Nordic and English bloodlines are very closely connected still. And yea we do love our pastries.

Normans. But the ancient Romans referred to (what is now) Norwegians (including Båhuslén which was Norwegian but that's another story) as "Northmen", with a clear distinction from people of (todays) Sweden and Denmark (who were Angles, Jutes, Danes, Sueci and Gaets). It was the Dutch (who for Norwegians, was a welcome change from the Hanseatic League) who first coined the term "Norse" (from what I can gather). Then that word developed from there. These contexts are important when reviewing history of this period, so as to not confuse yourself. In short: "People of the North" were Norwegians but much much later (several hundred years) meant all Scandinavians. "Sueci (Svidjod) people" were Swedes, "Dane people" were Danish. Also the Vikings had many territories elsewhere than Normandy which are often forgotten, in the Iberian bay and Pommerania/North Germany. The traditions of later Rügen reflects this as well. Oh! Almost forgot. "Norman" also means "men of the North" 😅😅 (But "Normanni" was first used by Roman sources, as said, and denoted another area).

That the Swedes went east, the Danes and Norwegians west etc is not really true. If you read the Old Norse Sagas, Norwegians for instance very often went east. Then look at Swedish runestones from the original Swedish region (Svealand). Half of them tell of raids in England and other parts of western Europe. Further more, todays Sweden has large parts that originaly belonged to Denmark and Norway. That means the Swedes of today are actually a blend of all the Norse peoples.

@backisgabbeYT

What you say is a bit contradicting, because of what Svealand is at that time, scholars would say that Svealand during the viking age is the coastal regions near the baltic and the runestones there are risen in honour of a dead person, the stones that say where all say "Died in the east". I have not read the stones more inland but since you say they say that people died in the west I have to believe you. However the inland parts of Svealand might have been part of their own kingdoms and or Norway. Norwegian Vikings started to go east when the route to Constantinople was created. Harald Hårfargre is the notable example, but as far as I know we do not know if he went to Constantinople by sea or by the "route to Constantinople" created by the Rus.

@@backisgabbeYT There was no such thing as "Svealand" in the Viking age. There was Sviþióð, which roughly correspond to the modern region of Svealand. Sviþióð was the original homeland of the "svea"-people, and no, it was not just coastal regions. Västmanland (which denotes the west-svear) is inland. Here the svea-king Bröt-Anund is said to be buried for instance. The main capital of the svear was in Uppland which mostly is inland. Then you have Södermanland (region of the south svear) etc. You simply don´t know what you are talking about. Over all of this region there are many rune-stones telling of raids to the west. Roughly half of them. Here is one example from Grinda in Södermanland which happens to be in in the coastal area of the Baltic Sea: "Grjótgarðr and Einriði, the sons made the stone in memory of their able father. Guðvér was in the west; divided up payment in England; manfully attacked townships in Saxony." Now to be clear, Sviþióð was just a part of Sviariki or Sviaveldi, which was the name of the realm of the Swedish king, i.e Sweden. To Sweden of the day many other regions were counted such as Västergötland (in the west close to the North Sea coast), Östergötland etc. Here there are many other runestones telling of raids to the west. The Swedes were undoubtedly very active in the raiding of western lands at the time. It´s not even debatable.

Yeah… Okay, a bit of banter coming up so bear with me here 😉: Denmark is the Boomer/early GenX:er who did the career thing early, made a name for themselves and a good amount of money, and now is the sort of drunk uncle who smells of tobacco, talks loudly and laughs a little too hard. Norway is the 90’s millennial/GenZ youngster who was a bit awkward but also curled/pampered as a child and then accidentally got rich and had glow-up and now thinks they’re top tier. Sweden is the middle child, the 80’s millennial/young GenX:er who’s trying to please everyone, mediating, solving everyone’s problems, trying to do everything right. The one who is actually doing good, but constantly being made fun of and has to take all kinds of shit from everyone, but just smile and laugh and not say anything because they just want to be loved, but is secretly burnt out and dying on the inside from the weight of it all, struggling with anxiety. We are all family though 😊

Denmark and Norway is to the west so naturaly they traveled to west. And because Sweden is the eastern country of Scandinavia we traveled to east. To the lands of Rus which we called them. We fought, pillaged and captured people. I believe we also settle down in the land of Rus. But the land of east was not as prosperous as the land to the west (England and France) so we traveled more south through todays Eastern Europe. And we arrived to Constantineople todays Istanbul. We called it Miklagård (translation: Big city or big marketplace). Back then the famous church Hagia Sophia, today the famous blue mosque, has a viking grafitti. Constantineople was a central point for trade, where Europe meet Asia. So of course we can discover some buddha statues in Sweden from viking diging grounds. Because there was goods from around the world in Constantineople. And is it wierd that only vikings and chinese has dragons in their mythology? I believe that vikings might have seen some dragon statues from China and ask the traders about that creature and took it to their own. England has some dragon in their literature but you shared some viking culture. In Stockholm, Sweden, we have a famous statue in the town hall "St Göran and the dragon". Vikings in Constantineople was of course taller and muscular than the average people around that part of the world. So many rich people hired vikings as bodyguards.

Drakar har funnits sedan bronsåldern i Mesopotamien och Egypten. Det är troligtvis ett äldre koncept än såsom en kombination av de 3 farligaste rovdjuren mot människan (Vilket gör att drak-mytologier finns överallt) Ormen är en del av draken och är så fast i det mänskliga psyket att nyfödda barn är rädda för ormar, även om de inte har lärt sig att de är farliga. Den stora katten är en annan del av draken och i europeisk mytologi är rovfågeln den 3e delen. Ordet drake kommer från forngrekiskan.

When he says there aren’t a lot of written sources about Sweden, he doesn’t mention one little known fact. The Royal Castle of Sweden, the Tre Kronor, burnt down to the ground in 1697. Among the many things destroyed in the fire was the whole National Archive and Royal Library where a lot of the historical texts that did exist had been gathered. So whatever texts and sagas that existed from the Viking age and even before were destroyed. Also, a lot of records seem to show that Swedes were at least involved in the foundation of Kyiv.

Actually... (don't you learn abt this in school, in the UK?) as an example on how ''all over the UK they got'' is how English and Norse-language influenced each other. Very common words in English, today, comes from the Nors language. Like: Husband, window, cake, egg and law, are just a few that comes from norse Vikings were all over the UK. Just as they were ''all over the world''... at least they got pretty far. America ''we all know', but just as they were able (because of the engineering mastery of the ships) could go far inland through the UK, all the way to Paris, but also through the river Volga -through Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and across the Black Sea to Istanbul/Constantinople. The did not stop there, cause further south Vikings met Arabs, and for the same way they got, anywhere basically, they went upriver on the Tigris river to Baghdad, Iraq (if we think the brits were shocked seeing vikings... Just think abt how the Arabs far inland Irq thought? Man..! I wish photo and video was a thing then!).

The name Finland is probably by swedish origin, actualy latin (fine = end of/the bottom of?) or there could be a tribe.. its probably a swedish name for those living there?

It's important to remeber that nations as we know them, such as denmark, Norway, Sweden, England and France did not xist back then. it's a very modern invention.

we have another thing icommon, good heavy metal music

I was born in West Yorkshire and lived between two former villages now part of a town. One in the valley was called Bradley (an Anglo-Saxon name) and the one on the hill called Fixby (a very very Norse name) It is two places showing the nature and extent of the Danelaw. BTW check out Jay Foreman's "Why are British place names so hard to pronounce?" It will show you indirectly the extent of the Danelaw. You know that in 1066 there were two invasions of England Harald Hardrada - from Norway / Denmark and William from Normany Harold II defeated Harald Hardrada at Stamford Bridge and marked the end of the Viking era The other invasion he rushed to Hastings and sadly lost to William dying in the battle and thus we have the Norman kings.

People tend to forget that "viking" isn't what we called ourselves. "Viking" basically means "pirate". All of us Scandinavians called ourselves "Norse" because it literally meant "from the North". We only took up the names like "Danes" and "Swedes" after we started uniting from clans into countries.

Dwayne, im sure you have Viking genes, i Can see that in your humble side, grettings from the hippies from Sweden :)

Norwegian here. His view of the history is very correct. Except for one thing: Sweden went far beyond Scandinavia after the 16th century, and became incredibly powerful. Sweden was a superpower in the 17th century, even owning two military forts near Manhattan in the New World. These holdings were later conquered by the Dutch. Sweden then conquered parts of Russia in several battles. At this time, late 17th century, early 18th century: Sweden and Prussia were the preeminent warrior cultures in Europe, in addition to Poland-Lithuanian Commonwealth (another superpower at the time). But his cryptic non-sequiturs about people fleeing modern Norway for "freedom" - and how modern politicians are "doing the same as Olav Trygvasson" - are transparently demagogic and hyperbolic. Based on all that I have heard so far, he is - I bet - a Libertarian. Probably someone who spends meaningful time at the annual (right-wing) hippie communal anarchy gathering near Kristiansand. Someone who thinks *all* taxation is theft. I know several people like this. You can understand the demagoguery of his talk by the fact that he keeps enticing the listener without going into detail. He promotes curiosity to his political views by building up to it from the beginning, without providing context at the time. He wants your attention for something *entirely* different from the historical analysis of Norse history, hoping to catch several gullible vulnerables to his practiced political context. I'm sure we'll find that on his youtube channel. To his credit, this was a great video, and he kept his ideology *mostly* away from it.

Really enjoyed this video with your reactions to it! Great content from both of you. Triggerwarning: Rape. I wanted to add something here tho, about "raping and pillaging", that the vikings always get accused of and I feel it's kind of important: There are no written sources to any rapes committed during these raids, even from church-books and annals that always wrote down cases like that. (Source historian Kim Hjardar in the book Vikinger i krig (vikings at war)). I am not saying that it never happened, but it is very important that we don't add stuff that are not recorded, often when we do that we add stuff from understanding our own culture and then disregarding trying to understand the other culture out of their own logic and premisses. There are therefore no reason for us to add rape to the pillaging, that we have seen being used as a weapon of war in our time, especially if the war have some origin in ethnic conflict or are attempted legitimized that way in the war propaganda. (Where rape then are used as some type of ethnic clensing). Women in Norway had pretty good coverage in the justice system (Ting-system) at that time, and could demand her rapist killed. You were asking about Finnland. They had a whole other culture than the Scandinavian, different language and peoples, and that is also why we distinguish between Scandinavia (without Finnland) and The Nordic countries (there Finnland is counted in). Thanks again for great video!

I haven't read all the comments so this might have already been said :) Danish/oldnorse words made their way into english language, if you want to look into that. Like: Link, husband, cake, window, they/them/there, towns ending on by/toft/kirk in that area, die, skin, again, sky (which actually means cloud but is used differently), skirt (the long shirts that went to like the middle of the thigh) - actually we borrowed it back when it got the meaning it has today and we named the clothing 'skørt' (which also means crazy XD we have some words that has two different meanings...). York is shortened from Jorvik (Horsebay), streetnames like Swinegate (pig/swinestreet) (Castlegate actually means street and not a gate). It's estimeted it's many hundreds or maybe over a thousand words. Regarding horse eaters (I think it was worded?): I know the vikings had a relation to horse meat, probably to do with worshipping Odin's horse Slejpner (modern Danish use of name) and Christiany forbid that. So that might have been th ereason he said that. So: how did that ancestry test go, I'm curious? :)

Well that is how a Norwegan would tell just a nother "saga" to day. The "Swedes" where much more out and about then he clames theyu where. But they where more of mercenerys or tradesmen. Saladin and Charles le Main had vikings as hierd sodiers and as traders. As the Jewes, Cristians and Muslims would not trade with each oter the swedish vikings where hierd to do the trade as they where neutral in the wars betwen said religeus groups. Our long boats made it easy to travel the baltic sea and all the rivers that where conected to the baltics. And the ships chould even be draged across some landmasses to get futer inlnads if so where needed. But there whas nothing called Sweden back then. There there major "tribes" Östgötar (est-gots), Västgötar (Väst-gots) and Svear (Sveades) that lived in what whas to become Sweden later on. To day we know that "Swedish" vikings had stelemnats all across the baltic sea and along the rivers that is conected to it. They had large setllements in Russia and Urkraine for example. But even Hagia Sofia got some viking tags carved in to it. The Swedish Vikings where vritten about by muslim and roman/german historians. While the Norwevians where just dreaming up sagas in those days. So if you look for historical facts only in the sagas, you are missing a lot of viking history. Denmark whas always under atack from the Roman/German-empiere and Swedes where fighting on both sides as mercenaries or ass alied if there whas some family ties by marriage that whas usualy made to tighten bounds between familys and/or tibes back then. (No I am not drunk. But I do got dyslexia, hense the bad spelling from my part.)

The Danes are also the precurser to the Normans as well. I know that the Norwegian narrator is biased toward Norway, but in a nutshell, the Danes were the heart and most widespread raiders and conquerers. Danes took over most of the UK, parts of France, Frisia, and even raided the Mediterranean and Northern Africa. Norwegians pushed westward and established in Ireland, then founded Iceland and Greenland. Eventually finding North America which they called Vinland. Norway spent a lot of time feuding among their own. The Swedes crossed the Baltic and began raiding slavic lands (a region known as Courland). They went up the rivers and founded Russia. They were referred to as the Rus or Russian. (Meaning people of the red hair. In that age "Red" hair meant anything from blond to red to auburn hair). They rolled their ships across open grasslands on the Eurasian steppes to then rejoin rivers in their exploration. They eventually came south and attacked Constantinople with great success. The Emperor was impressed with their power and savagery and hired them on as Varangian Guards. He paid them heavily. That's the basic 3 viking groups geographically in a nutshell. PS. You should understand that the poor Swedes get picked on by Danes and Norwegians more so than Danes and Norwegians messing with eachother. The Swedes did get revenge by getting the Norwegians hooked on Lutefisk (Pickled herrings in snot) and they got us Danes too by taking back Southern lands that used to be Danish, after WW2, and later making better money from the pornography industry. In all seriousness, I love Swedes and Norwegians almost as much as my fellow Danes.

Swedish vikings more often went east. The Kiev and Novgorod empires where created by Swedish vikings. Trade routes where created with Irak, Iran and Konstantinopel. The highest concentrations of silver treasure made up of eastern coins etc has been found in Gotland.

A lot of British cities, York included, is actually founded by Danes?

Most Swedish vikings interacted with Eastern Europe. So there's unfortunately not a lot of preserved litterary sources. The water level was higher back then, so it was very easy to travel by river all the way down to Greece/Turkey. The modern name for Russia is based on the eastern European name for swedes/vikings "rus".

About the dividing of the people it's the same in most countries. that the politicians and people in power want the rest divided and infighting instead of being united, because when the people divided they focus on eachothers differences and things they don't like, and the prejudices. example making a divide between natives vs immigrant, rich vs poor, people from the cities vs people from the countryside and so on. The only situations that people in power want the people united is in war times or if they want something done quickly.

The English flag has the Scandinavian cross just like Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The Finnish flag has the Scandinavian cross as well despite not belonging to Scandinavia. The reason for this is that Finland used to be the eastern most part of Sweden. When it gained independence it adopted a flag with the Scandinavian cross despite losing its Scandinavian status. A Scandinavian nation has to fulfil three criteria: 1) shared history, traditions and mythology, 2) language, and 3) be mainland nation. Finland doesn't share mythology or language with Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The Scandinavian cross is also called the Nordic cross in order to include national flags outside of Scandinavia such as Iceland, Faroe Islands, Shetland and others. Finland is included in the Nordic category of nations, as is Iceland.

this is why scandinavian countries are great at speaking English, cause the germanic languages with other parts created the english language

Yes, the similarities between the basic vocabularies of English and the three very similar Scandinavian languages as well as between several of their fundamental grammatical features are quite astonishing - they are essentially the "same" basic words to a large extent, just slightly distorted and spelled and pronounced a little differently and with more or less the "same" basic word orders and ways of forming tenses, so that we Scandinavians often don't have to think very much, when we are learning and speaking English - as if we already by magic "know" a simplistic older core English in advance and then "just" need to fill in the gaps.

Certain english words used today are influenced by old norse. Since danes had the biggest influence and actually settled in England, we most likely are the influencers. :P (Keep in mind, old norse - spoken by scandinavian people back then, were more or less the same through out the whole scandinavian peninsula, or atleast in the major countries there. Im just trying to say that it was basically the same language back then, more or less...
