When we are done with the Viking age, and then the Norman Conquest, we should follow the Normans to Italy while interjecting stories about the in fighting in France and Frisia and Scandinavia, perhaps some on the formation of Germany, and then on to the Crusades. You should do a whole playlist covering everything, from the first call to arms and the people's crusade to the fateful Friday the 13th that saw the Templars axed. The politics of the Crusades on all sides (there are at least three Christian sides and three Muslim sides, and that is not even counting all the city states and their territories and varying allegiances), and the stories that sprang from then are so misunderstood. Would be great seeing it all on your maps and pictures.

Alexander Ludwig's portrayal of Bjorn is very underrated- notice as Bjorn gets older, he gradually looks, acts, and talks more and more like Ragnar. It's most obvious in the cadence of his speech, he matched Travis Fimmel's inflections more and more as the series goes on, along with facial expressions and hand gestures- always with a little bit of Lagertha in there too. It truly makes them believable as a family unit, and not just actors pretending to be a family.

"Don't waste your time looking back. You're not going that way." Edit: Okay, so after like 2 years and a comment that attempted to explain, I am explaining why I posted this- and yeah, it's pretty dumb. Ragnar Lothbrok said the line to Bjorn in the show "Vikings", when he looked back at his hometown as they were sailing away, I think to go fight someone? I don't remember too well since it's been a couple years. The context is important. To those saying it's short-sighted, you misunderstand the purpose of the line. I believe the meaning to be that if you're spending all your time looking back at the past, the places you used to be, etc., you'll miss what's ahead of you. Obviously it doesn't mean to not look back; you're missing the second part of the quote. You aren't going that way. You're going forwards, not backwards, so while it's important to look back every now and then to remember and learn, your focus should be ahead. Never forget where you've been, but don't sit and stare at it, carry it with you to the voyage ahead. TLDR; You misunderstood the quote

Its wild when you think of Viking as a people. The lineages during the rise of Christianity and the time of the glorified viking warrior like we remember today, we weren't a people of Scandinavia alone. Our bloodlines were mixed with cultures from all over Europe. If your civilization was raided by Vikings, guaranteed children were bore. I'm sure many of the warrior clans were the same, such as the Polynesians and Romans.

Wow, wouldn't have thought that so much from Ragnars death speech in Vikings actually comes directly from the tellings... And the army that was lead by his sons actually was called the "Great Heathens Army"

not a surprise that King Ecgberht himself would narrate the story of his legendary frenemy, Ragnar, on youtube

Ragnar: "I will walk the halls of Valhalla with Odin at my side and my death comes without apology!" Such powerful acting and story telling, I find it absurd Travis Flimmel and several other actors and actresses didn't get an Emmy or Golden Globe for their role in the Vikings. I found out after finishing the last series that Ragnar was based on an actual Viking and I had to find out myself if this was true or not, so glad I learned some history today.

Just finished The Vikings on History channel. So sad to see the series is ended. But I was intrigued of the history of Danish and Scandinavia. It’s brought me here! I’m gonna learn it all lol.

I still remember when I saw the "Vikings" clip of Ragnar's death the day after the episode first aired. As soon as I saw King Aella in the thumbnail, I knew this was it. We all knew this day would come, but it was still such a shock because until then the entire show revolved around Ragnar. The whole thing gives me a feeling that Vikings and modern day Norse paganism practitioners might see it from an emotional and spiritual standpoint similarly to how Christians feel when they watch Crucifixion reenactments like "The Passion of the Christ" because this is their hero who is being brutally tortured and killed and yet he accepts and embraces his fate.

Just watching this awesome series now on Amazon how has it took me so long to watch this don’t want it to end it’s amazing

at 10:43 you say "Loðbrók" is surname. It's a byname, a nickname if you will, not a surname. His surname is Sigurðsson, since his father was Sigurðr (byname Hringr). haha sorry to be pedantic but it's a fun bit of viking culture, the bynames and patronymic surnames. Very good video!

A woollen fabric exists called loden and it is a felt-like, not spun and woven or knitted, textile. Brok means trousers. My question is if the lod or loth in Lodbrok actually refers to this woollen fabric, not the hide/leather mentioned. Your insight?

@@jpdj2715 i think it does. in the national museum in iceland they have some viking age clothes made that way. "loða" mean to tie or hang something on to, and the way this garment was made was that extra strands of wool were tied onto a normal loomed fabric. also iḿ not aware of leather being used for pants or shirts in scandinavia. i'd have to do more research into the topic though

Wow honey ❤

just need to mention that boiled cowhide armor--cuir buie--is extremely effective, and if one guy was doing it when no one else did, he would have a huge melee advantage. it's sturdy stuff. in many ways comparable to chain mail with gambeson. so, "magic hairy pants" isn't as mythical as it sounds. great videos. thanks for your work.

Interesting video! It is indeed difficult to know what is myth and what is legend, almost impossible at times. Great music though! I got chills all over just by listening to it. Thank you for your effort!

It's interesting how Vikings the TV show rearranged many of those events; like Ragnar destroying the smaller army in Mercia instead of Francia. But I love the show anyway; it might have little historical accuracy but makes up for it with excellent story telling.

Absolutely brilliantly done!

When I was in middle school I would go to the library and check out the book called Eric the Viking and I would read it and then check it out again and read it again,loved that book.😢😭

Ragnar is a legend I will still hounor him as he was a true viking and family man.

Fascinating. You tell a great story that keeps me hooked.

Good video, just to add some additional information: If you have watched the TV show Vikings, you may have noticed that the director have taken alot of liberties based on historical events, to make it into a watchable TV serie, as a few examples: Ragnar Lothbrok may, or may not have been a single person, but various individuals throughout viking history who did various deeds, and the stories ultimately came together forming the legend of Ragnar Lothbrok-- while the individual most likely existed, many of Ragnar's accomplishments or actions might actually have been several individuals throughout viking history, it is also not 100% clear if Ragnar came from what is today Norway, Sweden or Denmark. In the TV series, Rolo/Rolv/Rolf/Gange Rolf is depicted as his brother, but this holds no truth in actual history, while Rolo became duke of Normandie, he and Ragnar lived in two completely different time periods and therefore never met one another.

Lol a great TV show all 6 seasons. .Thanks for what you think may or not be true but who cares. Read true history well the history books speak of one ragnar

Great video thank you 👍🏻

I believe scholars doesn't really know if the history of Ragnar and all his achievements and deeds was just one person, or a collection of stories and deeds from various people, either mistaken as Ragnar, portraying themselves as Ragnar, or if the stories simply ''inserted'' Ragnar for dramatic effects due to the legendary, almost mythical connection his name had at that time.

Man, that's cool ! So glad you do the research, so we might all enjoy it !👍

I learned some Norse mythology and lore from my mother's parents. I recall being fascinated by the saga of Ragnar and the expeditions of various Viking tribes throughout The North Atlantic, the Isles, Europe, and beyond. Thank you for an unbiased objective analysis. I really enjoyed 'Vikings' - it was a feast in so many ways - and was pleasantly surprised to learn Travis Fimmel grew up down the road from me very near Echuca in VIC state, Australia. Both our families were from Northern Germany and further north I believe. Anyway... I digress - thanks again 🙏🏼🖖🏼🇦🇺
