Did you think Vikings was historically accurate?

Kattegatt does exist, but not as a town. it's an area of water between Sweden and Denmark :)

I'd love to find out where they got those venomous snakes from, Northumberland isn't exactly rife with them 😂

Thank you 😊 shareing,,,,movie's

It’s interesting how the video about Vikings being wrong vastly got more views than this one talking about what it got right. People prefer negativity and getting to dunk on the show rather than acknowledge what was correct in the show and praising it for it.

My heart broke when raggnar died he is absolutely my favorite

1:30 Reginheri, etymologically is Ragnar

This is my absolute favorite show.

I a Viking!!

Ragnarrrr!

6:23 correction: the Arab visitor was Ahmed Ibn Fadhlan and he wrote that about the Vikings. however, Ibrahim Al Tartushi actually visited sweeden around 1100 AD.

VIKINGS has to be one of the greatest psuedo-accurate fictional series about how they influenced all of Europe into Russia especially the British and Irish Isles. The actors who played Ragnar, Bjorm Ironside, Rollo, Loki, Lagertha, and Ivar the Boneless breathed so much life into those roles. I even got so upset when Ivar the Boneless murdered The Seer and truly relished his ignominious death as his deformity did him in as if the Wrath Of God took him down during the final battle against King Alfred of Wessex. It was like watching the saga of GoT without dragons and other staples of fantasy but with true mysticism of the Norseman religion falling to the Christian faith of the Roman Catholic Church. I hope it earned many Emmy awards

What they got right - Nordic women are **hot!**

Ik ragnar is probly dead but still I have a theory so the seer says that ragnar will die the day the blind man sees him and when ragnar ask the blind man when will we reach aelle he says tommorow and the seer says THE DAY he sees a blind man maybeeeeee

Viking blood in my veins.

I don’t think the point of the show is to be historically accurate. I love to see accuracy, but the show is really just to show us what some of the Vikings did in history. Ragnar and Rollo weren’t brothers in real life, but they’re made brothers in the show so that we can see both of their accomplishments alongside one another. Rollo was part of the founding of Normandy and Ragnar is probably most famous for attacking Paris and receiving one of the first Danegelds. They existed hundreds of years apart but the show has put them in the same time so we can see a full story

DONT SEE IT IF HAVENT FINISHED THE SERIES, SPOILERS

Im from Denmark, we learn to fight in preschool, not now a days when all is on the woke train.

Floki is a conflicting character he killed the monk but then suffered greatly in Iceland and Greenland then in Vinland he seemed humbled and at terms of the world and existence

Ragnar DID exist, The Bible says so

Most of the show was wrong. Hairstyles, armor, clothing, face paint, etc. And ONE grave does not equal women fought like men liek in the show. Especially in a frikkin sheild wall

About the Runes in Istanbul. They where put there by a members of the Varangian Guard. Yes still Northman, but not a Raider

Anybody find it ironic that Rollo’s main downfall was jealousy of his brothers recognition and validation…. And in this video Ragnar’s character is vaguely questioned while Rollo’s was immediately validated??😂😂 no?? Just me?? 💀💀

I can't even watch this show anymore because of how ridiculously inaccurate it is. While Ragnar & viking history is shrouded in mystery, the show is just so inaccurate it doesn't even come close to reality. It's inaccurate and inauthentic.. Here's a list of things that I hate about the show. -Rollo is Ragnar's brother (not even close in the Viking timeline) -Ragnar never initially raided England (and the danes knew about England far before the events of the show) -Aslaug is petty and weak instead of a fierce shield maiden.. Bjorn should also be her son. -Sigurd (who should have been king of Norway and Denmark) was killed by Ivar (which would have been an absolute no no in danish culture) -they mention the danes only 1 time in the show (all the main characters should be danes besides harold finehair (who's actually supposed to be the grandson of Sigurd) and his people. -the Vikings weren't all about the norse gods -kattegat is the name of the sea that splits Denmark, not a land-based place and it's in Denmark, not Norway or Sweden -ubbe was a general that led the great heathen army, not just an incompetent son of Ragnar -bjorn dies even though he's supposed to become the king of Sweden & head of the Munso dynasty.. -hvitserk (halfdan) is supposed to eventually become the leader of daneland/daneslaw areas which was a vast swath of territory in England far bigger than just east Anglia.. -Ivar should be leading raids and conquering land in western Scotland and Ireland being evil towards foreigners not his own people... -the Vikings meeting native Americans, become interested in Buddhism and traveling through the desert is very far-fetched. -the french are all jumbled up and misplaced name and time-wise.. I could go on and on with the inaccuracies but I don't get why they had to obliterate anything close to the actual legend. It was fine until the whole Ivar thing, I could deal with it, but now it's just a gross perversion of reality and I hate the show. -

So much misinformation here

A spoiler alert would be good. Thanks for being horrible people and ruining the story...

Nothing.

historically i think ragnar is based of bjorn "ironside"

I am at season 6 and its painful. i can't watch a scene without constantly being shoved down my throat female this female that every single dam scene like 4 scenes or more in a row only females at this point just get rid of all the men. its freaking ridiculous, i am so sick and tired of it.

yuk how fast they adopted christianity ! talking about their legacy

We just started watching and love it. But I ain't gonna lie..a HUGE part of it is the men..in particular Rollo. I'm not huge on accuracy. Rolle could ride up on an ATV, especially shirtless. And I would care less.

can you stop use wikipedia? it is waste of time to use it. Maybe University Site and Bibliothek use much more Information.

Vikings are the most blown up glorified stories around and 90% is false women warriors 😂 6+ feet tall "warriors" 😂😂 they were farmers and lean... Small

😂I’m still waiting for the name of the first person account of the witness who observed the events in the Garden of Eden! This narrator mispronounces several names such as Leif (it’s pronounced ‘Layf’ not leaf!). Anthropologists have found that the people called Vikings travelled all over & that the Swedes didn’t just travel east, Norwegians west & Danes south, the 3 Groups travelled all over. Most ancient Scandinavians weren’t Vikings anymore than most Americans are CEOs. And there were female Viking warriors. Archeologists have found burials and they are displayed in many European museums.

1st

Absolutely not true that women were fighting in battle, especially front line battle.. they would accompany the vikings on raids for logistical reasons and to provide support back at camp....so you're taking a great amount of license with the "evidence" from the graves.. the reasons behind those graves is in great dispute by historians but, it's believed that women of high status might have been buried with full honors because of their importance... but, the number of women shown in the series fighting in battle never happened.. the show is typical of Hollywood SJW liberty to make a political point...

Even the vikings were multiculturalistic. How does right-wingers even debate this? Since the vikings are some of their arguement of race purity.

The grave doesn't prove that the woman was a warrior. It's likely she was buried with those things to bring them to her loved ones in Valhalla.
