Ten Minute English and British History #05 -The Vikings and the Danelaw

Twitter: / tenminhistory
Patreon: www.patreon.com/user?u=4973164
This episode covers the beginnings of Viking activity in the British isles and the creation of the Danelaw through to its collapse and the creation of England. It covers the Danes, the Norse and their respective activities which brought great change to Britain.
Recommended Reading:
James Campbell et al. - The Anglo-Saxons (1991) - It's coverage of the Danelaw is great (if slightly dated) but remember that it won't give much context about the wider Viking world.
Ten Minute English and British History is a series of short, ten minute animated narrative documentaries that are designed as revision refreshers or simple introductions to a topic. Please note that these are not meant to be comprehensive and there's a lot of stuff I couldn't fit into the episodes that I would have liked to. Thank you for watching, though, it's always appreciated.

    Back on schedule now. Sorry about the changes. All future episodes will be released on Fridays. Also, I'd like to thank my Patreon supporters for allowing me to buy a new mic. I'm also starting on the World History videos again now (Thirty Years' War). I can't give a date on when it'll be out but just to let you know they're coming again.

    His recorded name was Ivar Beinlausi though. Boneless is a modern translation. Beinlausi can mean many things. Lack of bones, lack of legs and even restless. The Irish monks on Shetland recorded some verses about a person called Ivar Beinlausi who travelled to England and later back to Denmark and then to the Baltics. Aka a very restless man.

    I found this to be quite a good, simple, but straight forward description of historical events that happened in England in those times, according to historical records. As far as what the records show...... I am American, and a recent ancestry DNA test showed myself and my siblings that we are 38 percent Germanic and 55 percent from English and Scottish ancestry, which is a very common admixture among families where I grew up in the US. A recent data base update showed that my family has a small percentage of Danish and Swedish added to that in which we knew nothing about. I believe that this percentage of Scandinavian genes is directly due to this period in English history. Thank you for the synopsis..

You know, I really enjoy history and I find it pretty fascinating how small things can incite life-changing events, and how everything just simply... connects in a way. I am truly grateful for this channel and for all your hard work; it just makes it sooo much easier for me to learn more about this world, and it just satisfies my curiousity! Thank you man!

    Legend has it, when the Vikings came, they asked the locals about the name of the town and the locals, wanting to annoy them, started saying "Nottingham" every single time they met a Viking. After a while, the frustrated Vikings started answering with "Nottingham Snottingham!". And that's how the town was renamed...

    Im not sure about the etymology of 'Viking' since there are (scarce) sources of memorial stones to Danes 'going to/in Viking' and dying on the trip. Its quite possible that in Old English the word would mean raider or pirate (for obvious reasons), but I am under the impression that its older

    Norse does not mean, from Norway. Norse is a common term for Danes, Swedes and Norwegians. People from Norway are called Norwegians. Also, there very plenty of recorded raids before 790's. The raids of North men and Norse wolves and Danes were mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon chronicles and Frankish Annals long before. Lindisfarne was just the first time recorded they went for a power center and a christian monastery.

    0:47 No, Norse refers to Scandinavian Germanic people in the middle ages, Danes, Norwegians and Swedes (and Gutes I think), as well as the people living in their settlements across the Atlantic and elsewhere. Danes, along with Swedes and other related peoples, eventually started speaking East Norse while the Norwegians and related peoples such as Icelanders started speaking West Norse.
