Just did the calculations! A gold dinar was a coin of 4.25 grams with a purity of 22k 917 gold. Bjørn and Hastein made off with 70,000 of the suckers which with todays gold price has a worth of 1,719,505.67 USD 😮

Pity they never fought in the crusades the first never began till 1099. At which time most Vikings were no longer the fearsome pagan sea wolves they once were.
@@ciaranmck4469 Get off the Wack, get on crack. But really, you need stop smoking weed. Especially if your young. You can do it when your older (40-50) but not when your young and developing. Of course the drug is bad for you and people that justify smoking weed by saying how it has medicinal effects. Are liars that just want to smoke everyday and do nothing but sit on there as*. I smoked and I got off of it because it was messing my brain up. So should you.
You said Halstein retired as a wealthy man. Question. What constitutes as wealth in the 9th century? Silver and gold coins? They didn’t exactly have capital assets and stocks back then.
Pretty impressive. Have read how Roman legions regularly marched 50 miles a day! More men of prior centuries were forged of remarkable substance: disciplined, inspired training from early youth and healthier food (no junk). Although... I understand that Russian soldiers of today have maintained most of that formative heritage!
Rollo, too big to ride a horse. Unlikely, but OK, why not get two horses and a cart instead of walking? They didn't think that one through very well. Or at all.
English today are probably a good mix of saxon, angles, scandinavian and french, the latter one being french with scandinavian heritage (Normandie area).
If l were in Rollo's shoes i would have never converted to Christianity. Nor would have i sacraficed my fellow country men for any reason. I suspect he had PTSD and early on set dimentia form head injuries sustained in battle.
Bishop Joscelin is an awesome hero in this story. I think the Viking experience in the 9th and 10th centuries really helped militarize the Church and laid the groundwork for the Crusades. People forget how violent life was in Latin Christendom during those two tumultuous centuries, and the Vikings were the biggest cause of that in France. Often, local authorities were impotent and churchmen had to get involved in the fight. This definitely helped shape the Crusades era, I would say.
Amen. The greatest punishment Almighty God inflicts upon unfaithful people? Bad shepherds. We deserve what we have been given...and only repentance with humble prayer, by many, can/will move the Most Sacred Heart to reverse this merited punishment+. Without repentance, the next phase of righteous punishment always is: chastisements (and conquests) by enemy nations/tribes....

Im not a big fans of Viking because i tought they are all pagan, but knowing some of them convert to Christian is epic

Dude, I have a bachelor's degree in history. Your documentaries are fantastic, accurate, and addicting. keep up the great work!
they need to correct the fact that vikings came to America 400 years before Columbus, yet most descendants are christians.
Their ships were certainly the most technologically advanced of their period. Able to sail on river, lake, and sea.
I always marvel at the woodworking skills and the critical thought that was needed to select the right trees, then turn them into masterpieces for the water.
How they were able to sail against current?

Extremely well thought out and presented video. Top level narration in clarity and tone.
Thanks for watching
I just recently discovered I descend from Rollo, founder of the Normans. That makes this whole video VERY interesting to me.
Sure? cause the other one we know who descend from him .... is the queen elizabeth 2 ...
Is the one dislike from someone who thinks the Vikings tv show is accurate?

@Malik Ismail do it better 🤷♂️
They probably thought Game of thrones was historically accurate too.
@Malik Ismail It’s not about the visual presentation, it’s about information! 👍
@Malik Ismail I enjoy this channel, so therefore I will watch it! But, feel free to indulge in your own choices! 👍

Now that was an interesting comment! Appreciate that info.
The purity of Englands silver coin was dramatically reduced due to the amount of tribute they had paid to the Vikings.

I had to leave the live because of a meeting but I watched the entire video when I got home. Another really good video keep it up 👍🏻
The best presentation on the subject. Excellent!
Wow, thank you!
Beautiful work!
Excellent job, I really enjoyed this video!
May I know how do you set up the camera in Total War to create cool animation shots in your video?
i've followed this chanel since the very begining, and im quite happy its still going strong + the movie and all that. quite a ride
Love learning about my ancestors, what badasses 🍻
Awesome !! Yay more Viking videos !!

The Vikings are feared warriors who are strong, fearless, and unforgiving. A perfect fit for the Crusades.
Well said from a descendant of crouts.
Pity they never fought in the crusades the first never began till 1099. At which time most Vikings were no longer the fearsome pagan sea wolves they once were.
@@shergy1000 Well, they did.
Pardon my ignorance. Which crusade?
@@shergy1000 As some would have been Christians by then, it would have been great to see them fight in the Holy land against the Saracens.
I love your videos. Keep up the good work
Alfred makes me think of Bela IV of Hungary, a man who learned from tragic attacks and adapted.
Oh Yeah - this is "right up my alley". Thanks for yet another wonderful video!!!!
Good video man, Informative on many fronts.
Glad you liked it!
Reading Last Kingdom series, love history and historical fiction.
The Northman Caelan Erikson was a Norse Warrior Viking King
Finally, a video that dont put me to sleep
In the right conditions their boats could plane like a wind surfer and they could cover great distances quickly even in shallow water.
Oh really? Were you there to witness this? Or you're just a good guesser like most scientist.
@@tiedyehobo Yeah, I was there..They called me Leif Cornholio and I sailed the North Sea, plundering as I liked.
@@tiedyehoboWe have preserved boats... and science isn't guessing.
Your brain is smooth
5:15 Thor 's wife is Siff, not Frigg
Thanks for all stuuf u do keeps me happy 😊
Rollo was actually never called Duke of Normandy, it was his grandson who first used that title.
They had these great rowers, paddlers, steerers, sailors, and travellers
Amazing video, well done!
Glad you enjoyed it
Actually there is a bit of a legend saying King Alfred was a ancestor of woden (odin) because apparently cerdic was one of the sons of wodin
Do you mean "Descendant"?.

Thank you man, love your stuff even if I disagree from time to time
The most time you disagree is when you look in the mirror.
5:13 Thor's wife is Sif. You're looking for Odinn's wife, Frigga.
I also caught this lol
Excellent presentation 👏👏👏👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Great presentation!
Thanks!
I made a canoe once and it was difficult
Gotta love it!
makes you look at the Norwegians Swedes and Danes differently....love the world-view/cosmology at the beginning, good work
Thank you!
Back then the Scandinavians were a tough breed. Today, the majority of us have gotten soft.
Eddington was a remarkable Saxon victory.
You said Halstein retired as a wealthy man. Question. What constitutes as wealth in the 9th century? Silver and gold coins? They didn’t exactly have capital assets and stocks back then.
Silver, gold, land, cattle, ships, slaves, hard and soft good, such as silk and spices, and other commodities.
What game are you showing in the video
Looks like total war, possibly medieval total war- viking invasion expansion pack.
"Hatein" probably means "Haf-steinn" (sea-stone) or "Hásteinn" (High-stone)
Thanks ,great channel in my opinion.
Glad you enjoy it!
Why dont they have armor?
try looking up evidence of danish vikings in south america
very good
Thanks 😊
Its crazy how they travel so far on horse and even on foot.

@@rmp7400 I've walked 30 in 4 hours. So 50 miles a day is adequate.
Doing the same thing everyone did at that time and before, it's nothing special
Frigg is Odins wife not Thor's. Thor's wife's name is Sif.
I said Frigg was Odin's wife.
@@RealCrusadesHistory at 5:15 you say "Thor's wife Frigg". If I am hearing you wrong I apologize, but it sure sounds like that's what you said
@@warhammer_studios You're not hearing things wrong, that's exactly what he said. Small error in an otherwise excellent presentation.
@@ryancoke9301 oh yeah I love the video...good stuff!
I heard the same thing. A little mistake.
Frigg = Odin
Siv (Sif) = Tor (Thor)
That was very interesting
Bro you said vikings they travelled from Baghdad to England. but my question is why in movies and series they chand all the history
Interesting! 👍🌸
What med 2 mod are you using?
I also want to know this
My ancestors were Vikings. I'm still strong
Spannend hoor met zoveel uitrusting oorlog voeren 😊
Rollo, too big to ride a horse. Unlikely, but OK, why not get two horses and a cart instead of walking? They didn't think that one through very well. Or at all.
It's a fanciful legend.
Funny the other documentary mentioned the ring that was found
Good video
Im here after watching The Last Kingdom. Its fairly accurate and sad the 5 th season is the last even though theres tons of material
Just released the movie. It’s good, and I’m watching the whole series and then the movie to its conclusion now.
Why is existence of giants denied

My Grandparents are from Winchester area and i have Crohn's disease am i related to Alfred?
I believe most with English ancestry are descended from Alfred the Great.
English today are made of what? saxons, angles or danes?
English today are probably a good mix of saxon, angles, scandinavian and french, the latter one being french with scandinavian heritage (Normandie area).
Because they rowed ships they were built like bodybuilders
A pretty good documentary well done. One issue odin's wife is frigga. Good Vibes 👣
Yes, that was definitely an error, I believe I mention it in the description. If not I will add that. Thanks for checking it out!
People to this day still travel to Seville in hopes of finding booty
was it odin I thought it was his grandpa?
Forget using those funny ships !

France still hasnt changed
If l were in Rollo's shoes i would have never converted to Christianity. Nor would have i sacraficed my fellow country men for any reason. I suspect he had PTSD and early on set dimentia form head injuries sustained in battle.
That’s why you’ll be forgotten to history and rollos still talked about and his bloodline still rules in the shape of King Charles.
why was there no mention of Ragnar lothbrok, or of Rolo?
We need more bishops like Joscelin in the church today.
Bishop Joscelin is an awesome hero in this story. I think the Viking experience in the 9th and 10th centuries really helped militarize the Church and laid the groundwork for the Crusades. People forget how violent life was in Latin Christendom during those two tumultuous centuries, and the Vikings were the biggest cause of that in France.
