AND HE HAS STABBED THE NORSE GUY FROM UNDER THE BRIDGE! 1-0 to the Anglo Saxons.

@Norman Pagan I get the urge tp break the geneva convention on you

That was tjodolf sterken (tjodolf the strong) he was a Roar means hes Main Job was to row the ship so the best fighters was less tired. They where also called giants in many songs the rowing guys, anyways the history of This war aint was not really a war between france and England, it was between four Norwegian clans, charlemagnes actual name when he left norway was karl Magne (free and strong man, is hes Norwegian name translated to english) hes from same ætt as gang Rolf whos hirdsmenn occupied Normandie, (Norman /Normann) is Norwegian for Norwegian) (dialects). And they wanted to tale the power from sverre ætta etc so it was a family feud that instigated the battle..England was already under dane law, and the Norwegians had already established jorvik (York)and Dublin and several other strongholds, so the intention wasnt to go to war with the british People but the danish saxons who saw themselves as a legit autority because they had installed a danish king and he was able to unite nortumbria Essex etc against the Norwegians, that was compllicated because the bagler clan contained both danes and Norwegians, which made four Norwegian gruops figth each other all over and they tried to kill all our kings, last attempt on kong sverre the third when he was Just four months old, 140 years after the battle at stamford bridge. That feud started about hundred years before that battle and ended when the danes gathered the chatolics of the world for the third time to make another genocide, but it was so much loss of lives that the chatolics thougth god was publishing them and a truce was made which later became a peace agreement which developed a few hundred years then we married the danes and was one country, but without the english /anglos William would lose to tjodolf alone. He was standing for more than 45 minutes alone, on the middle while People attacked him from both sides. At last he was shot from under the bridge between the boards by little saxon Child with a crossbow. So in a way a little kid won that battle. I Wonder if they now eats together and figth each other in valhall. In the song the Norwegians came shirtless while the english kings men had armors,i think thats maybe why tjodolf could figth so many for so Long, because Hes enemys was slow and heavy. While tjodolf even he was a Roar he was also trained in glima, would be cool if some alien tech had recorded it so we could see the moves and tactic he used. And it would be good for the sport of glima, sadly only norway and iceland has glima, but its now become very different styles,

He didnt get stabbed but shot with xbow from beneath the bridge one of the bolts hit hes inner tigh and cut the thickest pulse vein in your body exept for those directly from the heart. Maybe he was stabbed to, but according to our songs and sagas its not mentioned. We still signing about how tjodolf was defying physics Steel/Iron fire etc didnt Hurt him but a crossbow bolt killed him so i guess he wasnt immune to wood and rocks

@@jmgonzales7701 Not really, the Anglo-Saxons and Northmen were the same people, even their languages were mutually understood. Only their religion separated them.

Apparently Godwinson said six feet, not seven.

Most Varangian guards were Swedish Vikings though who came from the Rus lands down the Dnieper.

But there was basically no difference between Swedish, Danish and Norwegians at that point. They spoke the same language and all that so I think it's silly to differentiate in that era.

@@danielk3919 Even today I'd say that we are very similar here in the north. We still understand each others languages, you know? Best wishes from Sweden!

@@danielk3919 at the time there was a slight difference and that comes with their specific styles of "viking" (referring to a water farer, or a man that makes his money at sea). swedish vikings tended to be traders in the baltic and often along rivers like the danube and the volga. some danish vikings traded but most raided the coast of western europe and were the most active in the practice of establishing danelaws and overseas kingdoms. the norwegian vikings were more commonly seen expeditioning out the far off lands (expeditioning referring to a voyage being sent out and not being expected to return for maybe several decades), evidence of that is how the northwest coast of scotland and eastern coast of ireland were raided and frequently settled by norwegians but these vikings rarely went inland like the danes so frequently did. their cultural and linguistic diffferences were extremely small but the differences in how their respective seafarers went about making their money were vast. its silly to differentiate when talking about scandinavia itself but talking about their impact on the rest of europe is where it really does matter.

@@danielk3919 The Rus Guards were also called the Varangian. Our nations lived together in the north of Russia for a long time.

Sad i can't find norman's scandinav flag

Нет, к сожалению Рюрик мифический персонаж существование которого не подтверждается ни одним параллельным источником( И нет ни одного исторического документа где встречалось бы такое словосочетание как "Новгородская Русь". Новгородцы себя Русью ну никак не считали( И напоследок(как ликбез) пару цитат из повести временных лет: "идоша за море к Варѧгом̑ . к Руси . сіце бо звахуть . ты Варѧ̑гы Русь . ӕко се друзии зовутсѧ Свеє(шведы) . друзии же Оурмани(норманы или норвежцы) . Аньглѧне. инѣи и Готе . тако и си ркоша . Русь" То есть, как мы видим, Русь это не шведы и не норвежцы. К тому же история не знает ни одного скандинавского или вообще германского племени, что именовалось бы подобным образом и существовало во времена Рюрика. И ещё одна важная цитата: "В лѣт̑ . ҂s҃ . т҃ . ѯ҃ . [6360 (852)] индикта . е҃ı . наченшю Михаилу цс̑рьствовати . нача сѧ прозывати Рускаӕ землѧ . ѡ семъ бо оувѣдахом̑ . ӕко при̑ сем̑ цс̑ри приходиша Русь . на Цс̑рьград̑ . ӕко же писашеть в лѣтописании Грѣцком̑ . тѣмь же и ѿселѣ почнем̑ . и числа положим̑ . ӕко ѿ Адама" Здесь говориться о том, что за 10 лет до "призвания варягов" Русь ходила на Константинополь. А значит ни от каких "варягов" Русь пойти просто не могла, ибо исходя из ПВЛ в 852 году "Русь" и "руськая земля" как понятия уже существовали, но Рюрика на тот момент ещё никто не призывал. Так что либо речь о каком-то доселе неизвестном нам германском племени, что ну очень маловероятно, либо версия о "германском" происхождении "Руси" просто несостоятельна и противоречит источникам. Как-то так🤷🏼‍♂️

Imagine how diffrent England would be today

@@americanman3054 Right. The whole history of the world would have been different!

Actually, here’s what I think would happen. History would unravel exactly what it had been doing for the past 60 years. The North Sea Empire would be reestablished, the English nobility surrendering to Harald. Eventually, King Harald would die, as he was very old and his invasion of England was more for glory than anything. His claim would be passed down to one of his sons, if not both. Then there would be some war to restore some anglo saxon king bla bla bla. Remember Normandy? Well, William is going to have to build up his army again. Any defeat from the Anglo Saxons wouldn’t be incredibly decisive if it was achieved - the norman army was much better equiped and diversly comprised of horsemen, archers, etc. In the midst of the chaos with England and Norway, they’d give it another shot and press William’s claim. Basically, the pre-1066 ante bellum is restored for a short while until they go again for part 2. The exhausted Norwegians couldn’t hold on to England for much longer at this point. The North Sea Empire was able to hold on to England for so long because the English people were just tired of war and chaos and the Danish king was seen as a stabilizing factor. That is where the Norwegians would not succeed in. Not to mention the likelihood of a Swedish invasion or Danish invasion to restore hegemony over the weak state back in Scandinavia. As cool as a continued Second Viking Age would be or maybe even a third, European politics meant that the vikings were long dead.

To be fair, the song was sung by a Norwegian, which is why it was so understandable.
