Even down to the steady escalation in strength of your drinks. You son, are an excellent teacher and I’ve sent this to some of my friends. Funny thing though. I don’t think that most of them finished the first episode. I never got any feedback. Whereas, typically, there’s loads of it along with some interesting opinions. That’s how you know that you’ve laid down solid foundations for real educational information. When you get radio silence from science deniers the quiet is as loud as a hurricane. Once again.

This series is quite interesting, I refreshed my knowledge and added to It . I understand the importance of Estonia’s big island, but kept waiting for mention of Latvian Vikings, specifically those that resided in the part of Latvia called Courland (Kurzeme), but it never came. Also the bay of Riga has the Daugava providing a way quite far into Russia, and it also was not mentioned. In various museums in Europe, a certain quantity of Viking artifacts come from Latvia. I hope that in a future version of your very informative series some of these omissions will betaken care of.

Check out the brilliant video from Langfocus called "Viking Influence on the English Language" to see how much the complicated and highly inflected West Germanic Old English was changed through this long lasting contact with the closely related North Germanic Old Norse in the Danelaw region in the North and the East of England.

I am a professional historian, and an old man. I CRINGE when I see the young people of this generation say such BS about there not being enough original material from history to study. In fact, it is LITERALLY like the last scene in Indiana Jones where the Ark of the Covenant was locked away in an avalanche of boxes. 95 percent of all the historical documents have NEVER BEEN READ. If you want to check this out, go to a major archive and ask them. No one knows what is in ANY of the National Archives anymore, let alone the Vatican. It is this way all over the world. The GREATEST problem by far for future generations is that no one is being taught to read script (handwriting). I can read a handwritten letter upside down at speed. Not teaching THAT is going to make future research very difficult.

If you could memorize, you could get all A's, but you didn't learn much. I learned more about history in literature classes where they would teach you about the writers and what was going in the world that affected their writing.

@@lucindahumphries4702 I am a professional historian, and I am SORRY that most people experience history that way. I read original letters and diaries from eye witnesses for my living, and to me, history is a living, breathing thing. Most of real history is composed of average people getting on with their lives. Now understand me:Dates are VERY important, because they allow you to see the BIGGER picture, in that you see what is going on in different places at the same time, or in sequence, showing how one event lead to another. Example: If your lover cheats on you on a Thursday and you catch him, and you hit the crap out of him with a frying pan on Friday, what haqppened when is important. Oddly enough, I taught college, so I am amused in that I cannot recall EVER asking any of my students forthe date of ANY event. In university history, we ask you to comment on the BIGGER picture. For your sake, it is better for you to know the dates BEFORE you take the test, because we ask you to explain a larger event, and the dates help you to put your argument together.

There was another video of similar Viking content. Part of the video was dedicated to the findings of 2 or 3 female, French historians that went further in discussing JUST what it was that actually 'pushed' the vikings out if their original homelands and forced then in a lifetime of warring and pillaging. Something was driving them out of their Scandinavian homelands.

It was the climate. I can't remember which videos state it, many do actually, but it was getting colder and their farmland was unworkable. They had to migrate or starve.

Thank you for a brief insight to part of my heritage. I grew up over here in Seattle Washington from Swedish Grand Nana Uncle and Aunt. The NWst is thick with the Scandinavians foods intelligence although the way we joke about Ole, Lena and Sven jokes. Most everyone I know are from the North. I will be looking into more of your lectures Thanks again

When talking about the German swords found in Viking graves around 1:16:00, isn’t it possible that these swords weren’t given to or bought by the Vikings in Germany as that was illegal but instead the Vikings took them from the dead bodies of opposing warriors with whom they were im battle?

Great video. I'm aware that the Viking age was technically from 793 - 1066CE, but personally I consider the Vendel era part of the Viking age. When you consider that we now know Swedish Vikingar were raiding in Eastern Europe and Russia at least as far back as the 740s - 750s. The Danes were raiding Frisia and other places during the Vendel era. Norsemen of every kind were traveling, trading and raiding all over Europe centuries before the "Viking age".

Vikings were descendants of royal blood Dacian warriors who were defeated by Romans under Trajan’s rule in 104 AD and retreated in great number from their original ancestor land Dacia towards North Eastern Europe! Danemark was named Dacia actually during Middle Ages

@@hilti4632 where are you getting this information? The Norse were an amalgamation of Germanic tribes that inhabited northern Europe for thousands of years. There's a bog body from the Cimbrian peninsula (Jutland, Denmark) that dates to 8,000 years ago. Also, Cimbria is the ancient name for Denmark. The Dacians were a separate people from around what is today the Carpathian mountains. If you're referring to the Goths you've got it backwards. Historians think the Goths may have come from Gotland(Largest island of Sweden) or possibly even Götaland(kingdom in southern Sweden). Gotland and Götaland both mean 'Land of the Goths'.
