I was born in Roskilde, I have lived in Denmark all my life. My mother is Swedish, her father is finnish, and my great grandfather on my fathers side is Norwegian, and my father is danish. Ultimate Scandinavian.
Finland is not really part of Scandinavia, although it has been under scandinavian rule from time to time. Scandinavia is a historical term used by the romans (who did not conquer Scandinavia) about 2000 years ago to describe the land which is now Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
@@5udaf10prsentation8 Well, at least the Saxons had been living a quiet similar life style to Vikings, robbing the coasts of Britain (til they conquered it) and Northern France, till in the end they were conquered themselfs by the Franks and christianized.
This is in my opinion you best video yet. The animation is smooth and the music in the background music fits perfectly to the topic. This video really fascinated me!
You almost had it, but Gorm the Old, and Harrald Bluetooth, had their Capital in Jelling in Jutland, where Gorm the Old is buried and Harrald put up the famous runestones, Jellingestenene, to honour his father, at declare the conquring of Denmark. But they did build a lot of cityes and castles all over the land.
No doubt about Jelling being the Capital of Danish Viking society! But the stones were not just to proclaim the unification of Denmark but also Harald converting the Danish people to Christians by turning Christian himself. There's even a street next to the church called Popovej named after the monk/priest Popo that made the king change beliefs. But the Roskilde part, ehhhhhh, that's a big yikes
@@Gugner Those are mythological kings that often ruled over smaller areas. That doesn't mean that they didn't exist, but the documentation of their existence could be stronger. Gorm the Old, whose alleged deeds was literally carved in stoned, also might not have ruled all of Denmark.
We want Hedeby back - immediately! Shouldn't we be split by the Eideren? It seems there are more danish townnames above, and more German below that river? :-)
@@mathiast0466 Sådan min skjald, vi starter med at indtage skåne og invadere domkirken i Lund. Derefter kan vi gå nordpå og tage Stockholm, fordi Sverige altid er neutrale og ikke vil slås med nogen (anden verdenskrig). Og som Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg's bedstefar sagde engang, Norge: "they have no defense and all the oil", hvilket vil gøre dem lette at indtage efter vi har taget Sverige. Dog ville de kunne have sluttet sig til os inden da, på grund af Danmark og Norges tidligere alliancer mod Sverige som under "den store nordiske krig", så vi ville kunne invadere Sverige fra to fronter som én stor Dansk-Norsk hær. Jeg er klar hvis du er, Kender også en masse andre fra hele Sjælland, der har villet generobre Blekinge, Halland og Skåne i meget lang tid. Hvis vi samler alle vores styrker kan dette lykkes.
@@Donnah1979 ja, det er så rigtigt nok. Under anden verdenskrig spurgte England os om hvem vi egentlig holdt med, fordi vi var så flinke over for tyskerne. Og vi gav op nogle få timer efter vi blev invaderet og lavede en lille freds pagt.
4:15 I find it really funny that you mentioned Uppåkra as one of the biggest cities during the viking age. I live pretty close to there, and now a days it can barely be considered a suburb to a small village/city.
As an Englishman landing in Denmark for the first time yesterday… I’m struck by how much Danish influences I can STILL see in English life. I suppose it makes sense given the history, but I feel completely at home here already.
@Mr Mr That wasn't his point. What he was trying to say is that Denmark ruled Scandinavia at that point, so Scandinavia was Denmark at that time. Scandinavia = Denmark. U're both right! xD
I feel like now that the newer videos are so much more detailed and in multiple parts that you should remake some of the older videos like for example the ones on Germany and France which are both only about 5 minutes long but of course both of those countries having more than enough interesting history to make longer videos about them.
Greetings from Norge! Cool video! but why haven't you made a video about Norway yet? I assume you are saving the best for last haha. Would be very fun to see! Keep making good informative videoes, a new microphone and your channel is golden!
@RuleBritannia never got out of scandinavia? Apart from that time we owned almost all of England in the North Sea Empire. And where we owned Greenland which we still do
Well more like an asshole, he used the mediterranean idea of "the people follow the king" and declared everyone christian to cement his own rule (one god, one king, one rule) little did the southern europeans know that Norse society didn't work like that, most people continued worshipping the old gods all over Scandinavia, regardless of what a king might've believed in. He wasn't a bigger badass than any other Scandinavian at the time, except for his son maybe, Svend Tveskæg now that guy was a legit badass, conquered all of England and left london in the hands of the former king of england (now king of london) until the city broke because of the constant siege, Canute the great would never have been king of the north sea empire without his father Svend Tveskæg.
Frick yeah!!!!!!!!!!! finally someone acknowledging that vikings are and will always be DANISH - Proud to be a full blooded danish man I need to play skyrim now this got me hyped!
Nej, nuvarande Danmark var centrat i Skandinavien under vikingatiden, men alla vikingar var inte danska, duh. Vi hade många olika klaner och de svenska vikingarna reste österut, ibland så långt som till Turkiet - och vi grundade Ryssland (woho!).
@@madmarilyn I could try to state something that would be valid for my comment earlier and not at the same time take away your point but I do not have the urge nor the time for an ongoing debate about vikings on a youtube clip. I will say this though, my point was not that ALL and every viking was a Dane. and im not saying your statement isn't true either (just to be clear) great day to you friend and take care o7
Woohoo - Uppåkra has finally received it's well earned place on the map. :) It's frustrating to see how slow the progress of the excavation is though... Also frustrating to see how much of this history is forgotten in the swedish schools today, despite the fact that we in Scania hasn't been swedish that long on the historical timeline.
Please do Lithuanian history! I've been waiting for it since the first day I subscribed to this channel. Or you can just finish the Scandinavian episodes and the start with the baltic countries.
Hey! Are you sure the Sagas attribute the sack of Lindisfarne and the siege of Paris in 845 both to the same person? Afaik, they were attributed to different people and about 100 yeard apart? I think it would also have been good to be more clear about the lack of historical evidence around figures like Ragnar Lodbrok(who was Jarl to king Hårik according to Saxo Grammaticus, our main 'source' on him (who lived hundreds of years later))

Gorm the old and harald bluetooths ancestors were the saga Kings from Lejre. They erected the stones at Jelling after conquering the jutlandic tribes.
There were previous danish kings before Gorm den Gamle. I don’t recall their names. Will have to check in my books.

Would you not Finnish Sweden part 2 before starting Denmark part 1 Norway did you forget about it
I am very happy with the Denmark episode, however I'm still waiting for Norway and Iceland. Boy I can't wait.
