@@ranjeetkumarsingh4752 you mean the band? I dont think so. I think they are christians since hungarian paganism basically disappeared in early medieval period.

Hi! th-cam.com/video/2vlATe0EHPc/w-d-xo.html Wikipedia: Stella Splendens ("Splendid Star") is a polyphonic song (fol. 21v-22), with two parts voices from the Llibre Vermell de Montserrat, one of the oldest extant medieval manuscripts containing music. In modern times it has been recorded by many artists:
If you were to trust testimonies like that, then you'd also believe that it was customary for Russian men to beat their wives, and the severity of the beatings depended on how much they loved their wives, to the point where if a man loved his wife very much, then he would beat her to death. According to Leonhard Rauwolf. However, stories like these were just made up by visitors out of xenophobia. Ahmad ibn Fadlan was a xenophobe, as was Leonhard Rauwolf.
@@_phosphorus Yeah, I know. Leonhard Rauwolf was full of shit. But that's what he wrote about the Russian culture. Ahmad ibn Fadlan was just as full of shit.

I bet the house you live in was built on land that was considered home for hundreds of animal species. You should be ashamed of yourself for living there. It's disgusting.
Nice for those who like it, terrible for anyone knowledgeable in such historical areas. It no longer has anything to do with the early Middle Ages or the Vikings (as we call the Nordic peoples today). It's just a wild mishmash of horrible pieces of clothing and armor thrown together from a variety of times and places, with a lot of imagination added. The whole thing seems more like LARP. But it has nothing at all to do with Nordic cultures and the early Middle Ages. It's far better than the depiction of the dirty and colorless Middle Ages (who wants to spend their time there in the dirt and pay for it?) but unfortunately it's still really terrible. In our time it is completely impossible to imagine yourself in this time. Because how are we supposed to know what it was like back then, what people looked like back then, how they behaved, what these countries actually looked like and what their languages and dialects really were without actually having experienced those times? The vast majority of people always tend to judge earlier times (such as the Middle Ages or the Stone Age) very much based on their current circumstances and their current society. However, from the sources we have (which - apart from the digital bookstores, are almost nowhere to be found in the media) we know that it was a completely different and a really stranger but also more impressive world than most people believe today. Often, with all the clichés our heads are filled with, we basically imagine “modern people” in these terribly uneducated, backward, dangerous, dirty and colorless times. The period after the 30 Years' War did not look particularly good for many parts of Europe. And the sources about the dirty, colorless Middle Ages, plagued by famine and disease, come from precisely those times when there were many famines, illnesses and in some places unsightly conditions, when people actually became a little smaller. Unfortunately, such sources are still often used in school textbooks today. However, if you look at original images and, above all, written sources that come from the Middle Ages (not modern times), you realize that it was quite the opposite. Of course, there will always be misinformation and of course the times in the Middle Ages were not exactly the best times (especially when it came to medicine, which was also much more advanced than we think), in which most people would really want to live permanently, but by far not the way we imagine it and how we are taught.

never lose your ancestors traditions, it make you have race culture,
Or you can make some shit up like some Viking bagpipes.👍🏼😎
Yes, that's certainly exactly how "their ancestors" looked and lived; Historians in particular can enthusiastically confirm this.
@@petrosspetrosgali many Vikings actually used bagpipes, especially the ones that colonized Ireland, England, and Scotland
Tiszteletre méltó, amit csináltok és jó látni, hogy vannak akik még tudják értékelni a történelmet.
Jól mondod testvér!
Except for the bagpipes….those are just silly in the context.
Looks like a lot of fun..and the bead lady.....smitten.......
Remember that the place where this is (Avaldsnes) is a extremely important historical place as this used to be Norways capital city and the kings used to live there
This ancient spirit is alive and well!
What a great culture i recently subscribe channel
The music is magical.
Too bad it has NOTHING to do with literally anything before the 13th century.
Can someone tell me the background music track to this video ? Very catchy !
Bordo Sarkany))
Songs are:
1:Fogadó az ír koboldhoz/Leprechaun
2:Szőlőtaposó (Traubentritt)
3:Stella splendens
They are pagans?
Thank you @@varangjar1544 may you rise to Valhalla, dine with Odin and drink wine in curved horns.

That festival looks like fun, I hope there is ale and mead.
Interested for people who want to know about viking festival
this is video is amazing
ああ…感動だ…素晴らしい、伝統ある素晴らしい祭りだ…✨
I want to go to a Viking festival. Which is the main one?
Wolin Viking festival in Wolin, Poland, near German Borrder
Valkyrie Ranch, Paige, Texas. Summer Solstice in June and Yule in December.
how does one get into this and get to these places? i wish i could be apart of this
Valkyrie Ranch, Paige, Texas. Summer Solstice in June and Yule in December.
@WhySoSadMayn the festival featured in the video can be found here: opplevavaldsnes.no/viking-festival-at-avaldsnes/
Haill Odin min gudguid Ø
ROMUVOS--"The Baltic crusade"
This is the trouble with European Fests. Only the vendors are in garb. I don't expect there is camping either. Drum Circle? Out of the question.
We’ll kinda hard as a visitor to buy clothes for several different festivals markets just because you visit it once…
Wouldn’t it be awesome if a gang of British Pirates invaded during these role playing shenanigans
I wish I could go there
What’s with the seemingly strong aversion to period correct music from the Viking age?
Can you link some period correct music? I'm curious to know what it sounded like.
@@RghtBrnd
We don't really know.
From Norway
I love viking😘😘😘
Where is the next Viking festival I love to go
Valkyrie Ranch, Paige, Texas. Summer Solstice in June and Yule in December.
What's the song at 9:59 ?

They can’t even use period correct music.
Plz Europe don't give PR to immigrants it is the only place with beautiful people in this world and beautiful landscape, don't destroy it plz
That tortured, abused, dead fox body is disgusting...honoring the past shouldn't be about animal cruelity
I wasn't too gone on it myself. Doing a gay cheerful little dance while waving a dead fox pelt around. Uh-uh.
I bet the house you live in was built on land that was considered home for hundreds of animal species. You should be ashamed of yourself for living there. It's disgusting.
That animal cruelty saved people from starvation, it's just butchering with religion attached to get over it, softie
