He`s name was Svend, (btw the same as my father) - not Sweyn, and the lastname was TVESKÆG (meaning =he had 2 beards)that shouls/could be english translatet to : TWOBEARDS. Normally for that time period, he would have had hes fathers name added with a "son" to indicate to others of which dynasty he was from, and of which legitimate birth he was of, but I haven seen any notice refering any other lastname to Svend as the 1 mentioned in this video, thats why he is "assumed" to be "a royal Bastard". Great video & Thanks

0:48 "Shulswig" my god, I pity the poor Germans.

You flipped the map.

Thank you good man. This is quite interesting. Greetings from Iceland - Einar - an old Icelandic viking

Germany has never and will never deserve the duchy of Slesvig. It is Danish. The geographical heritage is Danish. The landmarks are Danish. The Germans acted like Muslims, they made sure to make up 50% of the population so they could steal it. Disgusting.

Chales made a lot of mistakes but I think looking at everything you can see sorta see where he was coming from. A lot of history of the civil war is sorta told from Parliaments point of view. 1. Yes his personal rule is sorts tyrannical however his fathee also reigned for 7 years without parliment. He also did eventually call a Parliment. 2. If you look at the demands parliment was asking in the early 1640s its undeniable they WERE tryinf to take awat power from Charles. I don't think any king in the 1640s would be fine with thrir demands 3. We hear a lot of the puritans being mad at charles for adding more ceremonal elements to his church but again, im sure a lot of people who werent puritan liked the old ceremonies in church.

The looped video makes my head hurt

Esse museu é pika kkk😅

good, try to investigate more about the topic,, I´d like to learn more..

The Vinland Map was exposed as a fraud almost immediately, and its owner, Yale University, finally admitted it was.

absolutely need to know what the name of the intro song is

I'm watching this because of Vinland Saga

Do you have knowledge about how much of the architecture constructed by Septimius Severus survives?

Good king bad king I'm still a descendant. Question is where is the painting of Gorm where he is in yellow or gold and it's a closeup of his upper torso?

Hmm

The reason for the Danish tragedy in southern Jutland is only due to stupid Danish politicians and a foolish Danish king.

You should look at the Discovery Tours for Origins and Odyssey. They don't have a storyline but they have a lot more historical info.

Everyone loves a fiery slag.

Excellent video, brilliantly put together. you have taken on a tough challenge and have really pulled it off. Thank oyu

Will edit as I watch, 11mins in. Your video is... Wrong. Sorry. I will add a reply with image example links underneath, and a separate one discussing how they actually should have looked based on my understanding from what art/finds I have seen, and those from earlier and later periods, or neighbouring regions, and 1 with my personal "best" sets in the game for achieving nice medieval(weird anachronistic mismatched) vikingish looks(you can FORGET historical Vikings. You CANT make them in game.. sorry. Fuck, there are NO aesthetically historical looking NPCs in this game. Even the better ones, such as the English, are still WRONG). I'll work my way through. But I will start with my opinion. The Vikings looked like everyone else in Europe at the time. You look at art from across central, southern, and western europe, Visigoths in Iberia, and the eastern roman empire itself... They all wore pretty much the same shit. There was some minor perculiarities, but in common: Long tunics(usually knee length, sometimes full on robes. long sleeves. Rarely doublets/short sleeves ones), fitted pants with cloth/rope ties/leather roping around them just under the knees, above ankles, and sometimes up the legs to the knee, or no pants at all(you see such variations in the Carolingians alone.. pants ARE optional. Especially considering this was a WARMING period! Not the little ice age in the 12-14th centuries). And.. a fucking shoulder broached cloak, like the aztecs.. WHY DOES NO GAME EXCEPT CRUSADER KINGS 3 FUCKING HAVE THEM?!?!?! And why only give them to Carolinians? Shoulder capes all round! Shoulder capes in battle, while tilling the field! Only exception are the ceremonial toga style drapes for some epic christen rituals. And finally... Ankle/lower height leather shoes/cloth shoes, or... Up to knee length cloth shoes(there are a LOT of images with cloth looking shoes, including having them as one with the trousers like tights. You see the above in nearly ALL European cultures, and even quite a bit of African/near east art during this period. Why think Vikings would be any different? Now, to the rant! 1. Trousers. The ones in the game look AWFUL, aswell as the shoes. And your statements aren't correct. "Barbarians"(most of Europe, except the Mediterranean apparently) have had access to trousers(fitted ones...) since neolithic, and probably into paleolithic.... Vikings... Are no exception. Look at the mammen prince, as an example. Hell, look at the germanics, gauls, and other european groups depicted in roman and Greek art back in their "tribal" origins. Baggy pants... Don't show. They are more likely an eastern Scandinavian, and probably far more likely Russian, or from the permian people's inhabiting there(such as the "finns"). Personally, I've never seen finds of baggy viking pants.. and I don't really see it in any art across Europe. I've also never looked at Russian stuff, so from what I know, it could even be some 1700s invention based on the piratey looking "cossack's" or some such. Which the nationalistic eastern Europeans, and modern Scandinavians can't stop riding. If people have evidence, feel free to place 2. Tunics.. as the top. 3. From my understanding, women were the main textile labourers, with a wife's duty being the repair and creation of homespun clothing in poorer families, while richer ones certainly had their stuff bought and made, likely from female or slave laboureres. 4. Fur sock wrappings.. Basically no evidence of it from what I know.. and probably didn't exist.. sorry. I have seen modern re enactors use textile ones, and I think they look cool, and would love for them to be historical but.. its not shown in any art I've seen from anywhere. 5. Belts. This is really just to add on to what you said. I'm personally sick of seeing powerlifter belts on historical people. But, moving on, they have both lovely lavish cloth belts, aswell as thin leather, sometimes lavishily made & decorated ones. Want them in the game! 6. Gambesons.. um, I personally don't think the diamond quilted garments are necessarily meant to be armor. And.. I've actually seen them, diamond quilted tunics, in art from around this period, hilariously enough(2 examples from central European art). It surprised the hell out of me, and even though I think they look quite ugly, I sometimes like to have a laugh at myself whenever I think(that's way too ugly to be historical!), with that example. Another one is the double bidden battleaxe... They existed all over Europe, from bronze until at least the 11th century(if not beyond). They are incredibly bizarre things, and very rare in finds and art, but EVER present battle scenes, and in weapon varieties, rather than just felling axes, which are a lot heftier. 7. Hoods. Now, this 1 I find annoying. Mostly because I'm sick of seeing Victorianesque hooded cloaks on every fucking fantasy and "historical" European character, like they're from lord of the rings. I personally haven't seen them in art during the medieval period(although they may be a thing during the 1100s+) As for Valhalla, all of the cloaks are a fucked up combo of the capes(hoods that later doubled as sexy chaperones when inverted), and fantasy cloaks, making you look like a Victorian detective, noble or magician.. But. Hood/cloaks WERE a thing. The Romans wore massive raincloaks, for example(poncho style! Cool European flavour! Put it in the game!!!), with other European cultures having their own variants, if not the same. And, seeing as fashion really hadn't changed..... At all since pre/post roman europe, up to pretty much 1100. I see no reason why they wouldn't have the same in Scandinavia during the viking era. Oh.. and just a final add-on. I personally won't really address mentions of armour comments you guys made. From what I can tell, you have very little to no knowledge on medieval arms and armour, and debatably contemporary architecture & art(from the little I saw at the end for architecture/art, and your completely inaccurate ideas in general for knowledge of contemporary art.). In general I think anything you guys said about dates, or pieces for armour especially, were just wrong. Because of this, I don't see much point in going over every mistake... You also seem to mention a lot of things being beyond their technology, such as quilting... Which, as I stated above, existed. and spaulders/pauldrons... Which also existed before the viking period, aswell as pre 14th century(you sometimes see them on effigies of knights in the 1200s). Look at the Mycenaean armour sets, such as their epic tub armour with weird bone scaled helmets, for example, aswell as the germanic peoples, both pre, and post Romans(celts aswell), such as the Visigoths, and... The Romans and Eastern Romans(the "byzantines"). In Carolingian art you see your fair share of them, although debatably for artistic anachronism, rather than historical use. And, if you look at the celts, they've had close to full sets of iron armour at times, such as the famous example of the unstoppable moving tank, who was both invulnerable... And... Immobile lol. Having simple overlapping plates, and pieces was certainly in their crafting capabilities... But. There is basically NO evidence that the Scandinavians during the viking period did such, beyond some weird long metal lames, which might be for forearm/shin protection? and, of course the lamellar sets that seem to be attributed to varangian/byzantines, or easterners. Based on art though, I'd say scale armour is completely in their realms of reality, as it & mail seem incredibly common everywhere else. Maybe even more common than no armour at all. Something to note though, just to clarify some things. It was very difficult in the earlier periods to forge very large iron plates, hence the use of spangenhelms, with multiple plates riveted or bolted together. You see that in earlier Celtic and roman armours as well, such as lorica segmentata. Having the plates both overlap, and cording them together, such as in lamellar makes a big difference.. Although, I think the examples from the game look more like far later, and romanticized eastern designs. Oh, and on that note. No, nothing in this game resembles medieval pauldrons, spaulders, etc. it is all fantasy trash. They also love to give everyone shitty waist cloths, which no one ever used, and sam-rai shit tassets(suspended waist armor), aswell as ugly trenchcoats/waistcloth trenchcoats. Did the same shit in Odyssey too.(aswell as every other assassin's creed). And to finish it off, there is nothing historical about any of the assassin's designs in any of the assassin's creeds games, barring maybe odysseys "unclothed" tunic outfit, which is probably also not completely accurate. Or really MOST of the other crap, besides a good portion of the architecture, and some of the background NPCs. Can't vouch for the pre modern garbage, or Egypt, which I don't care about. Nor Greece, which I don't have enough interest in either.

Puppebu... a very interesting and funny name :D

The funny and weird part with Svalbard, is that you can walk into the hotel (at the end) with your rifle on your shoulder and nobody really cares. This is probably the one most peaceful place I have ever visited. A magnificent place I have been to twice and still long to get back there.

Do Heard Island and the McDonald Islands next

Cavemen were no different than modern humans today as to being divided. We have always been in each other's faces since our ancestors.

Thomas Jefferson was 100% correct

Prussia not Germany. Copy?

Brilliant and informative video. Here are some of the voices of those who witnessed Charles' trial and execution th-cam.com/video/mc0NGGSmhNQ/w-d-xo.html

IT WAS DRY BUT I LEARN SOMETHING FROM IT I LOVE WORLD HISTORY I LOVE KNOWING EVERY THING ABOUT DIFFERENT COUNTRYS. THINK U FOR THE INFORMATION IT HELPED.. 🙂

aaaaaayyyyyyyooooo

Which would be a better book, I wonder?

The little bit about Antifa throwing a Viking statue into the river pisses me off so much.

I am from West Virginia! Thank you for saying our state! Bless you!

DEITSCHES REICJ

Why didn't he mention his northern travels? Maybe because he was trying to get the Spanish royal court to bankroll a trip to Asia, and all its riches, not some desolate ice covered rock and he needed them to believe it would pay off for them. I think he knew darn well he wasn't going to Asia.

Wow. Thanks very much for doing this. I'm a genealogist researching my half-brother's Danish grandfather, who at age 3 was emigrated from Schleswig, apart from his mother, to Perth Amboy, NJ, one of the numerous Danish/Scandinavian enclaves around the US. Because this migration, possibly involving a surname change, obscures his parentage, but we do know he was from Schleswig & culturally, linguistically, & nationalistically Danish, I'm hoping that learning about the political, social, economic, and ethnic/cultural environment in Schleswig, preceding and at the time he was born (1889), will at least bring us closer to understanding why he was disrupted in this way, as this disruption eventually had its own consequences. I'll use yr bibliography. Thanks again.

Did he say “Native American” as well?

Did Thomas Sowell actually use those polysyllabic, PC words “African American?”

so, i've read up on Thorkell the tall, and what i've read is basically that Thorkell was known as "a man bigger than the biggest man", hinting that he was 7'7 feet tall. for reference, Richard Kiel, the actor most famous for playing Jaws in the James Bond movies was 7'2. historically, the tallest living man was a man named Robert Wadlow at the height of 8'11. for reference, Goro from Mortal Kombat is 8'2. everything else about Thorkell the tall checks out, asides from what you've mentioned in this video. the only thing we have in written record of Thorkell the tall is a runestone describing his life.

cool

Where is Shollsweg? Your narrator has his own way of reading and speaking. Is he from Iowa where everything loves to screw up pronunciation???

One nasty and rather insane act of revenge by Danes against Germans was in 1945, when Danish doctors refused to treat German refugees, including children, and consequently several thousands died unnecessarily. This is a black mark against the Danish medical profession and a breach of the Hippocratic oath.

Denmark was lucky not to be sucked into Germany's toxic orbit....bad enough they come in summer and fly their ugly flag. (I speak only for myself)

The best anime ever bro ❤

Makoto You Chimera is crazy.

My Goodness! I have searched high and low to find ANYTHING about Byzantium BEFORE Rome conquered it.

Russian and Norwegian only can mine in this Island

How long would it take to play through the Discovery Tour story quickly? How long if you spend a lot of time reading about the optional extras? Thank you for the video!

bluetooth 💀

ah, yea I guess the statue in Philadelphia would get a lot of attention from white supremacists, they love the idea of a European progenitor race in the Americas. Even so it's a pity ANTIFA took it down.

Perhaps you should mention that they don't know for sure antifa destroyed the statue and that it was used as rally point for Nazis?
