Not all Vikings were bloodthirsty raiders, rapists and pillagers. Many were mere farmers and craftspeople, storytellers and traders. But these folks got lumped in with the violent invading ones and got slaughtered. So more violent invading ones came, because among those slaughtered in the St Brice Massacre was the sister of the Danish King, I think it was - is that right? Sweyn Forkbeard or something like that? His son became King Cnut.

Came here like others thanks to DNA linking me to people buried in those graves - VK143, 176 & 165, male Danes, all buried at the Oxford site. I too, had never heard of the St Bruce’s Day Massacre (or of St Brice for that matter) before today.

Thank you for your informative post, I am planning a pagan Yule this year. I am going to decorate my tree with natural objects such as cones, dried fruit, cut holly and ivy.

Hello from Canada, My father, Hjalmar, was Norwegian. seasons greetings C J Myren

The Britons have ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM having the Middle Eastern and South Asian subhumans living in their country and f*cking their women. But whenever a European settles their land, they go absolutely bonkers!!!!! Be it the Dane Norse, or the Polish, Britons hasn't changed. The UK deserves to be Islamized!!!

My wife and I did 23 and me and we both have links to people buried there.

23 & me brought me here.

Irish Monks got there first.

23&Me also brought me here with relation to 2 of the Vikings VK176 & VK178. Pretty crazy history I didn’t know anything about until now. Horrible way for these gents to go out to sadly.

23 and me brought me here. I Just got a message that I share dna with one of these victims as well as other Vikings. It’s interesting to learn about the history. I’m a Latina from the United States.

I share DNA with 2 of the victims. 1 from each site.

found out today that 3 of my ancestors were killed in this massacre. it’s astonishing how many horrors our ancestors have to go through just for us to be here today. im grateful for their sacrifice.

Watched this video for some background about the event because 23 and me said I share DNA with a male killed during the event and they are resting at st johns college in oxford uk

Ok so it's 13 of November here in the UK and today I have received a message from 23 and me to tell me 4 of my ancestors died here, that has just knocked me flat. My ancestry is from Newcastle and West Yorkshire. I am 100% British going back from ad 600 where they found warriors buried in long boats and Viking women in Orkney. But today is the 13th of November...............Latest news I have 23 Viking matches am 100% British Irish and this goes beyond 8 generations WOW

We have some stave churches in Poland.

good video thanks

The answers can be found in Ancient DNA and there is a DNA that is more indepth that the Ancestry Tests sold, which largely looks back as few as 5 geneeations.

I learned about this game reading John Gwynne's Bloodsworn Trilogy. I then later found out it's a real game! This is a great video on how to play the game and your channel is really cool! Subscribed!

But how many pieces can be captured at a time...if I sandwich two together do I take both?

Hey. Canadian here saying keep it up! Just found your channel and I am very excited to see more. Big history fan here, I love the visuals you provide and the information that is given is awesome to see. Thanks for the content!

I dream of moving to Norway. I am from Thailand amd was in Sandefjord in 2023 and prayed to come back. Then I got a job in Sandyford, Dublin, so I moved here, wondering why and if my pronunciation was off. Then I found out that Dublin was built by the vikings. I'm piecing my journey together and thanks to this video, I will explore Wood Quay this weekend. Still, someday I hope I will finally live in Norway ❤

I'm loving this and loving your content, thank you! Love the history, Vikings are so cool, probably very misunderstood, and I'm just trying to learn this board game better so thank you!

Bra jobba! Hei å hå 😁

👍👍👍👍👍

The vikings tv show had this with bjorn and halfdan 😂

Dun Angus was built a couple of thousand years before the Vikings came along.

Super cool.

Love this!!

Stina Hogkvist deemed it HISTORICAL and thus ventured to change the course of history by removing a painting.

Nice 👍🙂

This video was so interesting. Especially the correlation with the Black Death and it’s influence on Christianity and it’s sacred buildings is highly interesting and was new to me. I can imagine that apart from simply missing the people to maintain them, people just lost their faith and felt abandoned by God? So why care for his houses anymore. Thank you very much.

What I would not give to be here.

I bought a board at the Wisby museum in Gotland a couple of days ago. This one doesn't have the 4 castle squares so the king just need to reach the end of the map to win, which one would think would be easier but we played it maybe 20 times on the boat home and it was still pretty even, I think in the end the king still lost more then he won. I check around and there are a bunch of different rules, it might be that the towers are best when you have a larger board since it gets too easy for the king to get to the sides then but it might also be that the rules changed depending on the time or area it was played in. It is a fun game, faster then chess (usually) and easier to learn the rules but you have the same "easy to learn, hard to master" factor in it. The board I bought is 9x9 squares but I think I will experiment and see if I can't copy a historical board or 2 that is larger and use different rulesets. Thanks for the vid. :)

Hi! I have a question: from the first eight moves, on my turn, can I place two attackers on each side of the corner to prevent the king access to them..?

I uploaded my dna through my true ancestry and found, that some of my ancestor’s were among the victims.

Thanks for the video 👍🏻👍🏻

🤘❤️‍🔥

Thank you

battle board.... ?

I'm not suprised. The Furious and Wise Wizard has been known among Germanic speaking peoples since the days of old Rome before Christ.
