Quick correction: I mentioned in this video that the Norwegians occupied Lisbon. That's not correct, they in fact simply attacked it. Sorry for the error.

King Sigurd went on an another crusade against the pagans of southeastern Sweden in 1123. Not much is known of what happened but according to the Icelandic historian Snorre Sturlasson there was a battle between christians and pagans, and that Sigurd went back home with loot from the crusade.

Great pronunciation of Norwegian names. It makes it so much better to listen too. Putting an emphasis on the first syllable is usually all it takes to make it sound right:) I remember reading about this in Runciman, and even though I had heard of Sigurd Jorsalfar before, the old king stories are not taught any more in Norwegian schools. IIRC, Runciman put very much emphasis on what a prestige boon the Norwegian crusade was for Baldwin. It was, after all the first royal visit to his new kingdom.

Love the video as usual. I don't see the link to 'Harold Balder'. Shout out to your book 'Why Does The Heathen Rage'! The book came in some time ago but didn't seem to find the time to read much. Once I picked it up I couldn't put it down. Exciting battles and a well woven love story that not only didn't get in the way of the exciting and pressure filled moments but enhanced them. So when does your next book come out?

Super thanks for the episode. I did not know about this force from Norway but then I wasn't very knowledgeable about the Crusades. Doing some quick research it appears this later group of Norwegians did not loose their skill for raiding and fighting and "resource re-location". LOL Very likely some distance ancestor took part being from Oppland and Romsdal and the area to the east of them.

They weren't too far removed from their pagan roots at this time. I believe this happened around a hundred years after Norway started to become Christianized. King Sigurd later went on a crusade against the pagan swedish, and he did say they fought viking raiders on the way.

Sigurd "Jorsala farare" is then said to have gone crusading in to Swedish Smaland and Oland, there there is a somewhat larger scale battle mentioned supposedly in southern Smaland or on perhaps Oland. But the people were already Christian. The oldest defence churches on Oland were built before the 1100's.

Interedtingly, the Swedish pro-Palestinian author Jan Gulliou wrote a trilogy about Arn, the Swedish crusader. No mention of the Norwegian crusade, and it was all about how humane the Muslims were. The crusader kings, however, slaughtered en masse in his fictional rendering of the history.

Just curious. There seems to be a massive contradiction in my simple uneducated mind. If he was the first European king, that came on the heels of the first crusade, then by whom was the first crusade executed with. Which nations? If he was the first king from Europe, all others prior would constitute a non European army. somebody's history is fuzzy

You're right, someone's history is fuzzy. You need to read about the First Crusade. It was led by a group of counts and dukes. No kings were involved.
@williamwayland1888
@williamwayland1888 6 жыл бұрын
That distinction is not clear at all. "It was led by a King". I now understand that you was speaking of an actual co-location with the army. Honest mistake. That term is relative and under personal application. Did Eisenhower lead the Allied forces in WWII? Yes. How much combat was he involved in.........0. There were many kings involved. On the battlefield, there was none. I was hoping you didnt make that abhorrent blunder.
@williamwayland1888

Also, in my first post, I made no mention of co-habitation with the army. "then by whom was the first crusade executed with. Which nations". Being "led" does not require any degree of physical proximity.

See, but there were Vikings before Vikings, as well as Vikings after the Viking age. Check out this thing called The Great Conspiracy where a bunch of northern Germanics went raiding against Rome around the year 370. Many of these northern Germanics settled in northern Gaul. Which later became Normandy. I have Norman ancestry myself, so it’s interesting to me that Rollo was no where near the first Northman leader to settle in Normandy. So when people say that Normans were Frankish-Norse, they’re actually not 100% right in that assessment. Normans were likely a mixture of many kinds of northern Germanic, everything from Saxons to Franks to Norwegians and all manner of other Northern tribes arrived in Gall during this time, the very early stages of the Germanic Migration Period.
