Excavations in areas like Orkney and Devon reveal evidence of early Viking presence, such as Norse-originated place names, Iron Age pottery and mysterious burials. The Vikings' arrival marked a significant phase in British history, establishing Scandinavian states with notable legacies seen in craftwork and cultural influences. Tragic events like the St. Brice's Day Massacre, sanctioned by King Ethelred the Unready, reveal tensions between Anglo-Saxons and Danes, shedding light on the violent clashes of the time.

These Viking Britain videos are an enthralling exploration of a fascinating era in history. I'm captivated by the tales of Norse invaders and their impact on Britain!

Anytime I hear about the St. Brice's Day massacre, or the Dane murder as it's called here in Sweden, I always get chills and feel such sadness for the people who lost their lives that day. Maybe they weren't killed by Anglo-Saxon friends and neighbors, but still these were people they must have known in passing, seen on the road, or in the fields, or from the next village over. These were not strangers from far away that showed up one day. It makes the whole event so much more chilling to me.

Basically my ancestors. Red beard, brown hair, blue eyes, nordic face, GrandDad from Ireland a Mullen. Nanna was a Rolland from Yorkshire(Doncaster), Nanni was a Mushrow with some French ancestory, and my Pop was a Hughes from Liverpool. Im completely lactose tolerant, and mainly eat meat and dairy as most of my diet and always have. I feel extremely drawn to dark Age England! And also to Rome, and the Vikings, by proxy of their occupations and integrations

Really interesting. I ran out of time to see the Viking Museum in York when I was there. The day I had intended to go they were filming there ( someone said Dame Judy Dench but I’ve never seen anything in Australia about it) and I left the next day. Sad, but at least we have wonderful programs like this to help us ‘see’. Thank you 🙏👵🇦🇺

Thank you, loved this! This American from Yankee New ENGLAND whose forebears came here in the 1700s and fought in the Revolutionary War is proud of her British/English, Scottish/Irish, French and Viking ancestry, per DNA tests, that dates all the way back to William the Conqueror. Family surname, Drew, on my maternal side i.e. mother's maiden name, is mentioned in his Doomsday Book in 1066 where he compiled all the original families in England! Always fascinated by British and Viking history!! ♥♥

What's the difference between men in expensive uniforms coming to overtake your land and men in fur skins doing the same? Why don't we see Romans as "raiders" too? Romans also came armed, made exacting demands, killed objectors and occupied territory. Roman soldiers also traded with locals and even took wives from among them. And both engaged in slavery. I get it that raids are sudden and violent, but whether the victims are surprised or not, they become conquered peoples under threat of death.

Weak minds are blinded by only their own perception of reality. And of coarse today the open minded strong people extracting the truth know that the version people are told to believe is based on lies. that is another sign of weakness. But to be honest I am not affected by their different history versions since I know the truth myself. I think they also not deserve to know the truth since they also not taking the responsibility to not lie to their own souls , instead rather believe and betray your inner self deeply .

As a coin collector, what I would do to be able to acquire a coin like that King Athelstan buried in a hoard nearly uncirculated. Most of the 'decent' quality ones you can find from that era, if you can find them, have been defaced, chipped away at by merchants collecting silver tiny bit by tiny bit before using those coins to make purchases. That one was as close to immaculate as I have seen from ancient coins. You can find Roman coins intact fairly easily and coins from other more prosperous eras in good shape. But there is a reason that specific coin is a museum piece and not in some average collector's hands.
