Vikings: War for England - Danelaw DOCUMENTARY

In our previous video, we covered king Alfred’s surprise victory over the Vikings at Edington in 878. This victory both ensured the survival of his kingdom and allowed the West Saxons the breathing room needed to prepare for the inevitable next invasion. Though Guthrum retired to East Anglia after the battle, Wessex still faced potential attack from elsewhere. When Alfred passed away his son Edward in Wessex and his daughter Æthelflæd in Mercia started uniting the lands of England under their control by fighting against the various invaders from abroad and against the Danelaw, Five Borroughs, Northumbria and others. England was forged in these conflicts.

    They were trying to create a unified, consolidated England, a single aligned England. Having her alive and ruling Mercia as a separate kingdom would leave the land open and vulnerable to attack like what had happened in the initial Dane invasions. Sending her off to become a nun was the best and kindest solution to the problem.

    Stay tuned for a separate video covering the "GREAT SILENCE of 3:09 - 4:48" Much has been said about this mysterious time in early Britain/Dane history, although no one was listening! From what I can glean, it all began at 3:09 although some say it was closer to 3:10 when one fine morning in the middle of the night two dead boys stood up to fight, back to back they faced each other drew their swords and shot each other! The deaf Knight "earsoff" heard this noise and went to kill the two dead boys. If you don't believe this lie is true ask the blink monk, he saw too!! DUN DUN DUNNNNN!!!! Jack ~'()'~

    It also doesn't help that the various versions of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the main sources on the era, go out of their way to downplay and erase Aethelfaed's achievements. Often describing her activities as building projects rather than conquests.

    The main reason is the severe downplaying of her deeds that the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle handed to her. That being a pro-Wessex pro-Edward source, and she being a potential rival to the power of Wessex and rallying point for potential Mercian independence movements.

    Seems the hardy Norsemen had forgotten the hardy roots of their Anglo-Saxon cousins. Edward was pretty badass, I can't wait to see the episode with Erik Blood-axe and Sweyn Fork-beard/Canute the Great. I'd also like to see videos of the Viking age within Scandinavia because I feel like it's under represented, people seem to appreciate the Norse's external wars rather then their just as interesting internal wars for some reason, despite having formed most of the countries of Norse Scandinavia's modern borders at that point.

And they spoke french because the Normans were/became part of the French aristocracy with French subjects so it became a necessity. I've read countless books on the Normans, the ones in France, Southern Italy/Sicily, and the holy lands; they were just amazing at adapting. Perfect Conquerors.
