Lindisfarne Priory | 10 Places That Made England with Dan Snow
Ойын-сауық
Join historian Dan Snow as he explores the places that shaped England’s story, in this exclusive series with History Hit. In this episode, Dan visits Lindisfarne Priory on Holy Island in Northumberland. Today it’s a tranquil and spiritual place, but in the late 8th century it was the scene of a brutal raid that ushered in the beginning of England’s Viking age.

Here for Dan and Mrs. Crocombe.
Brilliant Dan ! Brought back happy memories of a St Joseph Convent school trip we went on back in 1968 . It certainly is a spiritual place and full of intriguing history . Thankyou 🌟🌟🌟
I love these videos! I'm sorry to say that often the background soundtrack dominates the narrators voices. Even the subtitles can't make out the dialogue. Is it just me? Anyone else having this problem?

It's not just you. Such a shame. @English Heritage are you listening?
It’s a magnificent coastline
Ahh my two fave channels coming together. Love it.
Thank you for the entertaining & informative videos.
Hey could you please show us the findings about the jewelry that's linked to King Henry the Eighth, that was just discovered.
I’ve yet to make a pilgrimage there but hope to soon. Thanks for explaining the history Dan.
That was excellent.
Thank you for the video. Sometimes the background music makes the speaker voice (the lady mainly) hard to understand.
Obrigada meu amor, por compartilhar da história do seu lindo país!
Interesting fact: England footballer Lucy Bronze, one of the Lionesses currently playing in the Women’s World Cup, actually lived on Lindesfarne as a kid. I didn’t even know people still lived there. Lucy’s middle name is Tough. Which seems fitting for someone who grew up on that island.
Lindisfarne is much more important to the history of England than this video suggests, it was the island the English sheltered on when Urien of Rheged drove them out of Northumbria. Without Lindisfarne, the North of Britain would possibly still be Welsh.
Unfortunately, the music & thunder are drowning out whatever the woman was saying.
I work there and cross the causeway every week 🙌🏻😂
Looking forward to Glastonbury Abbey
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I can remember working in the manor house hotel when they were recording this. Its peculiar now to see the outcome
Regarding the "peaceful contemplation and books"; they were missionaries who converted over half of the country to Christianity.
May our Lady take possession of her dowry!
extremely interesting video, but sometimes I wonder if the Vikings or King Henry VIII were more destructive; I believe the Tudor dynasty laid the foundation for modern England, but erased its past. My comment is absolutely not intended to be polemical, but as a non-Englishman I would like to know your thoughts. Thank you
Nice
Seems like a interesting video season to make for sure. I like education content.
EH, can you tell your sound engineer to work on the mixing a little? The music is way to loud compared to the narration 😅
Nope. Not even 2 minutes in and the dramatic "background" music has drowned out the speech which was evidently an account of a Viking invasion in 793 AD. This is a recurring problem with these productions. I don't understand how they can release them this way and why they continue to have this problem at all. Do they not even watch it themselves before posting it? It's so frustrating!
who is this editor? hes not great with volume

What's that? a christian priory burned tot he ground by heathen invaders? it's almost as if there is no god, weird, right?

The priory was constructed in the 12th century, by which time the Norse had already converted to Christianity, and was closed in 1537 when King Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries and suppressed the religious orders in England.

@@stocktonjoans, how does that prove or disprove anything about any deity? The priory was never burned down by the Vikings as it was built long after Christianity was introduced to the Scandinavians. It fell into disrepair after it was closed down by the King during the English Reformation.

Doesn't that just prove that there's no god that prevented it, not that there's no god whatsoever? (Assuming it happened at all, which doesn't appear to be the case).
