Harald Bluetooth and his son, Sweyn Forkbeard, betrayed Styrbjorn Jarl at the Battle of Fyrisvellir. Styrbjorn was heir to the throne of Sweden, but his uncle, Erikr, would not give up the throne. After Styrbjorn and the Jomsvikings made shore, Styrbjorn set fire to his ships to send a message. The message being that there is no retreat. They would have victory or death. Once Harald saw this bold yet reckless act, he and Sweyn had their forces retreat. Styrbjorn Jarl fell in battle and his uncle would then be known as 'Erikr the Victorious'.

I had never heard of the Jomsvikings until I watched "the Vinland saga."

I love all this stuff, tales of battle, legendary warriors doing impossible things, 12 year olds raiding among full grown men. Its all mentle and entertaining. The vikings didn't half know how to tell a tale

Another great video. I'm with The Jomsvikings Reenactment Society and this video fits really with what we know about the Jomvikings from the sagas. I'm not a "Jomsviking" but part of The Army Jomsborg., The Jomsvikings are our 'Officers' (to use a modern term). I'm a Free Drengr with The Army Jomsborg. They use the code of the Jomsvikings to test each new member who comes from the Army or "Storms". Kit, knowledge of the Sagas and Runes is of a very high standard for Jomsvikings. The Combat Test is really tough. I know people who have failed the test, sometimes more than once, eventually passing to become Jomsvikings. Safety is our number one concern so you have to be highly skilled even in Stage Combat to become one. I haven't been to Wolin yet but the standards are very high too. To a certain degree, even the part of no women in the Fortress. Women are allowed into the Fortress at Wolin but not allowed to fight. We do have a lot of women fighters in the Army of Jomsborg but they are not allowed to fight at Wolin. The codes of Brotherhood are very important and taken very seriously. Once again, great job with the video.

Well done sir, informative and very entertaining, thanks for that! Palnatoki, pronounced Pallnatokee, was a exceptional figure in the nordic saga because his preferred weapon due his reputation was the bow and no northman liked the killing from the distance really. A man had to face his enemy on a shield length. Many of the tales around the Jomsvikings are even just tales and some theories suggest that the real Norseman looked down on the Jomsvikings with disgust at their heritage out of Baltic and Slavonic tribes in the lower ranks. Nobody knows when the term Viking was used in the first time but for sure not then . Harald Bluetooth took over the trust in christianity after missionaries cured his toothache. Wollin,the city where Joms was ,was declared by the Soviets 1945 to the GDR means Eastern Germany but Poland occupied it against Stalin...Best regards from Northern Germany Ludwig.

It may have been a Jomsviking satellite trading town where their women lived as no women were allowed in Jomsborg. All the graves in the settlement were boat burials of high ranking women. We are all over 6' tall and very strong and scary when angry.😊

The Sagas are exaggerated violence to entertain. Just go read the Njals' Saga. The book is full of tragedy, and violence. But I recommend it is a good read. If your not squirmish.

Almost like a Pirate code from several centuries later. Have similar ideas of honor, fairness and brotherhood at least and similar "jobs" of raiding and looting. Vikings WERE just pirates after all when you get down to it.

Palnatoke. I think that you should pronounce the e in the end of Palnatoke. Don't assume that it is a modern name or word from English but based from the north Germanic one. The E should probably be pronounced like the first E in Everglade. Not pronouncing the e is like not saying the last d in David. Thanks for a great video though.

I don't know about Scandinavians, but every time I hear 'vaaikings' instead of 'vikings', it decreases my ability to watch a video by 50%.

As a Swede I don't know why you change the names to a English version. I don't care if you pronounce it wrong but its kind of disrespectful in my opinion to change their names. For example you say "Canut" It's Knut without the A. You could just not say the A and you would say it right. And Thorkell is Torkel. And so on... Also if you need help with how to pronounce names and places I'll be glad to help.

Interesting... The bigger the story is the bigger... Pomeranian Slavs that had their capital Stettin just 50km from Jomsborg (Wolin) 😁 Jomsvikings were just allowed to live at Jomsborg trade port. Slavs didn't give a f**k and slashed and burned Norse capital Kanungahela pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitwa_o_Konungahel%C4%99 It looks like probably a revenge for destroying "their" Vikings.

It is a legend or history, judge for yourselves. In times of Nordic wars were born the wolves of comvate-berjast við úlfa-a warrior lodge at the service of the highest bidder, was a warrior elite similar to the berserkir but more refined and religious followed the ancient Scandinavian gods and a bariant imported respect for the Móðir- Jörð, these Vikings could give the image of the helmet with horns as some used them as an attribute to the goat clear allusion to his masculinity. When more peaceful times came, the rulers wanted their dissolution because Christianity came and they hated and killed them, lacking resources they gave themselves to banditry and the Scandinavian kings condemned them, seeing their extinction they fled to Iceland with 26 ships, In Iceland they were not allowed to disembark, and being left with no other choice, they went westward and discovered a land called TULAND, today East Greenland. They listened to and learned from the natives of INUIT, whose religion was a variant of the Móðir-Jörð, and became very skilled in sinkings. But they kept bothering the Scandinavians, plundering their ships and coasts in search of food, silver and women, the Scandinavian kings searched hard for them and finally found them in TULAND, and they were imprisoned for 20 years on those coasts and then put to death, the kings said they would kill anyone who wrote about the Vikings in TULAND.

Not “unready”,unraed,meaning uncounceled.

Most of the Sagas are made up stories, and the more embellish the more popular the bard will become. So I don't put to much credence to the sagas there a mix of fantasy, exaggeration and history. Really? 9yr old is going to kill three grown men. Whether together, or seperate.
