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.

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 🙏👵🇦🇺

I've got a set of Lewis chessmen bought from the Stornoway museum where I saw the originals. Lewis and Harris are beautiful - white sands, clear sea and the history hits you as you get off the ferry. Do go, you won't regret it. ❤

I was in the US Navy and was stationed at RAF Edzell for a total of 7 years. I guess archaeologists go hunting during the 2 weeks which they call summer.

I live in Australia but have family connections in Skye. My understanding is that there is Viking history there as well.

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 .
