I am not Irish but I love Eire, its beauty, its people, its history. I have travelled up and down the river Shannon multiple times by boat and each time, I find more new things and old things that deepen my enchantment with the Emerald Isle.

This was fantastic. A real treat for the grandkids. We are a Mix Family of Norwegian and Native Alaskan and have always relied on the Sea for a living so our ocean faring history is always taught, both the Native and the Norse. One point, Brave are the sailors who went to sea in those ships Not the people that dug them up later. Don't mitigate the word by attributing it to the mundane. Brilliant and hard working perhaps are better words. Bravery however is earned in Life-or-death struggles at sea, in the air or on land doing what your instincts tell you not to. Walking into danger to help others even as others run out. Bless and be well and again thank you for this wonderful content.

My great grand mother xame over from Ireland in the 1800's. Being American ive always wanted to go back "home" Recently found out that my family also has Norse blood lines and seing as tho i still have family in Dublin it bfobably makes sence .

🤔For communicating between ships during low visibility, I wonder if they also trained their ravens to bring messages from ship to ship? The are super smart birds and i read that Norse sailors used them to spot land and stuff.

In low visibility, how would a raven have seen the target boat? I reckon they used light or acoustic signals

Communication, ship - to ship, could have been by flags, as modern navies have done. Each flag would have related to an order, no words were necessary.

Explain the difference between pirates and Vikings

One would have to be a fool not to respect the bravery of the Norse peoples

All those years of invasion they must have realised at some point with gradual contact that Britain was easily taken if tried for just another Viking fjord so to speak .

remains of destroying roskilde by fleet of polish prince of pomerania racibor I (dependent from poland's king) at 1135 and part of successful campaign of pomeranians against danish kingdom (destroying of konungahela etc etc) / there're no "viking" boats same like "pirate" nor "privateer" ships :) in this region might be constructed like scandinavian boats (little faster,less capable,less movable) or slavic boats (little slower,more capable,more movable),then served as kingdom's war fleet | merchant fleet | privateer fleet | used by pirates from different ethnic groups called sometimes by vikings (term came most propably from word "wilki" or "wylki" meaning wolfs)

85AD 600-700 boat raid on Hamburg, same year a certain Ragnar did is 125 boat raid on Paris (Not sure which Ragnar though, Ragnar Rykill Son of Finehair . Or Ragnar Rothbrok (Swedish), It was just written by the Frankish monks as Ragnar, so we can't be sure which a bit who was older than Rykill Information "Vikings" Magnus Magnusson - host of the BBC quiz show "Mastermind" Note: The so called "History channnel" had a 130 year old Ragnar still a viking, as they didn't do the research on known dates and named dates of raids,, 2 Paris know raids Rgagnars raid 845, Ironsides raid (no survivors, 4 churches left standing rest flattened and burned, 857, then about 5 years later after the "Franks" snook back in, thern they they rebuilt it and fortified it 885-6 Siege, little fighting, they just sat outside and wouldn't let anyone in or out.Another 700 boat raid that one. No Ragnar or Ironside mentions for that one. Ragnar Rykull died after Rothbrok, The English killed him just as they claimed, Rykill and his brothers (read the Heimskringla and you will get 6 of the 18 wives of Finehair mentioned and the sons you will mostly know from other stories) Ragnar Rykill and his father died off the coast of Ireland from drowning... the Ragnar Rok... Then after that, many Norse left Ireland, a lull in rainding while new leaders needed to me chosen... much turmoil I think... so add Magnus' book, the Heimskringla and other sagas from Snorri (who wrote as many he could remember before he was assissinated) and you would get the picture I got. So add those 3 Paris dates, to the Lidesfarne and they carried on and on although we did tell them. so the "So called History channel" II was also very disappointed with the Assasins creed Valhalla game, 1st king on Norway was Finehair not a blonde "Christian" but king of kings of the Norse (even killed Gandalf a seaking.. yes JRR Tolkein got a lot of insiration from the Heimskring;a) They kicked me out of the game chat as it was run by a lying Catholic priest who had no idea about history.. not allowed to kill priesstss pah!, Viking raids on the Druids (only a few hundred years out and that was the Romans with Gaul support.. Gal women held as hostage and Roman propaganda did the Druids) They got very upset when I asked them to do a Assissins creed Henry the 8th... lol. Not one Catholic left after they finished that). So was brought on on the Sagas as bedtime stories as a child, coat of arms are legit Swedish although I am going to be the last of the line even if there are other Brobergs, none have all my bloodline

What wwas the other thing.. oh year the American bit when they said that a priest from Clonfert went there in his coricle.. and them not knowing about the Priest V Battles in Ireland didn't know that Clonfert V Cork battle left with no one left to say the mas. That is also mentioned in Magnussons book, I'd quote if but too many pages on Ireland as the Norse held Ireland for 30-50 years. Anyway that snippet came from a curator of the Irish National Museum who have the origonal documents. Nice church in Clonfert from just after the VIking age, run by the Church of Ireland, NOT Catholic!

I think they mean Archaeologists who specialise in medieval times.

Hmmm. Title writer needs to understand how English works. 'Medieval archaeologists' really? Did they just dig like Victorian antiquarians or maybe they were more methodical. Where are the records of their digs? And under water archaeology in the middle ages? I'm impressed. 😂 Just archaeologists would do.

Those same people were face down in chum they were so sick, I was actually eating a sub sandwich loaded with mayo and laughing at them.

If you see nails in their boats, it is not Viking, it is from a period just after the Vikings change with the introduction of Middle East Religion of the Christians and the raids ended, Viking Longboats planks were held together with leather and cord, Nails is the indication of the Merchant Trading that came after the raids had ended

@@southerneruk I’m not sure where you’re getting your information, but it’s incorrect. Look up the construction of the following Viking vessels: Oseberg ship (Norway, first half of 9th century AD), Gokstad (Norway, about AD 890), and the Skuldelev ships discussed in this video (found in Denmark, but built in various places and times - info in the Viking Ship Museum website). By the time the classic age of Viking raiding came around, clinker construction had already been established in Northern Europe for centuries. See, for example, the Nydam ship, also built with lapstrake planking fastened with iron rivets and roves (Denmark, 4th century AD). The Sutton Hoo vessel (England, 7th century AD) is perhaps the most famous example. Where you may be getting confused is the fastening of the framing. Earlier vessels such as Nydam and Gokstad have frames lashed to cleats carved onto the inside of the planking.
