The Devastating Impact of Ivar's Torture of Edmund the Martyr | King of East Anglia
According to the Anglo Saxo Chronicle this is how Edmund met his end.
(870) "This year the army rode across Mercia into East Anglia, and took up their winter quarters at Thetford : and the same winter king Edmund fought against them, and the Danes got the victory, and slew the king, and subdued all the land, and destroyed all the minsters which they came to. The names of their chiefs who slew the king were Ivar and Ubba. At that same time they came to Medeshamstede, and burned and beat it down, slew abbots and monks, and all that they found there. And that place, which before was rich, they reduced to nothing."

Seasons 1-3 are the only good ones.
Even I, a man of Óðinn, recognize the resolve of Edmund in the face of certain death. The boy and the old blind man, sleeping at the king's grave site and being healed is a beautiful story as well.

we should resurrect Edmund as England's patron saint rather than have St George who was a Greek with no connection whatsoever to England.

You start to see history from another angle when you remember that all the things the vikings did to the Christians the Christians would do to everyone else just WAY more self righteously

Actually you don’t, because you are by definition comparing apples to oranges now. What a false equivalence.
2:51: There were no Saxon "Kings" until Heinrich I in 919 (the father of Emperor Otto the Great). The settlement that later became the town Nürnberg was first mentioned in 1050. I think both the Viking "atrocities" and the "heroic" Anglo-Saxon resistance have been ridiculously exaggerated.

Love your KZread channel really good but was Ragnar really in England and snakes makes a great story but as you probably know not real
@historyprofiles
Жыл бұрын
Yeah it may not be real, but I could also be, the kings of England would have good trading ports allowing the trade of much food, and animals etc, king Aella could have ordered the snakes from abroad to kill Ragnar ceremonially as according to the sagas Ragnar himself killed Aellas father, it’s all in the gesta danorum
Actually, this story was fabricated by a French Monk more than a hundred years after the events. The older, reliable records all report that Edmund died in battle. Just another fictional martyr.

The Saxons resisted for their political loyalty to their defunct kingdom, not because of any intellectual of faithful devotion to their myths. They had also engaged in impious acts of sacrilege and murder against Christians, so it's hardly worth crying for them. Remember, terms like "barbarian" and "savage" are associated with the northern European pagans for a reason.
