It’s a different time period. Also you can actually kind of roleplay Vikings as the „vanguard raider“. If you want to have a heavier version of this with similar weapons (except Dane axe) go for the „knight crusader“ class even though you probably want to play without helmet then. You can also play as a jomsviking with men it arms (the shielded one), they have Viking like helmets and also a short sword (which also has skins of early medieval times). Not completely sure which amor would fit best though.
It was never about winning battles, it was about fighting with death defiance. And by the way, they defeated the Norwegian king Olaf Tryggvason in the naval battle of Svold.
@@RackerPaS 11 ships vs 70? And if you even know about the Battle of Svolder, youd know it was the Norwegian rebels on the coalition side that actually won the battle.
What was cool about them? Their tendency to rape, murder, and enslave people? The Anglos and the Franks were adjacent cultures, not much was different besides their religions.
More like non-Christian military order. Also, in tribal societies spoils of war were often shared equally because raids and warfare were perceived as group activities. In Europe we also call such social structure a "war democracy".
@@TheStaniG Right because the technology and tactics haven't changed at all in hundreds of years... so we should imitate this obscure army from two technological ages ago.
@@grimjoker5572 Ah yes, modern technology and tactics 🙄 So we should introduce personnell who enter on a lower standard on purpose to a fighting force AND fuck group dynamics and mental state on top of that. Absolute GeNiUs 🫠 Clearly have not had to deal with any of this 1sthand. Theyre a walking liability in every sense of the word from the grunts all the way to the airforce, which only get the men around them killed. Dont make me wheel out the example list....

Varangian is just the name the Byzantines gave any western Europe man at arms, but because Norwegians and Danes were typically more willing to act as mercenaries they are what we think of when we say Varangian. A Norman might also be called a Varangian when serving in the Byzantine army
@@the98themperoroftheholybri33 The varangian gurd refers to the norse-origin gurd, the later guard influenced by anglo saxons were renamled to somthing like Angleringuard or something.

Hahaha I was looking for a Vinland shout-out!
FLOKIIIIIII
Thanks for reminding me to watch Vinland Saga today
I keep hearing about that what is it?
@@EstbXCIII it's a fantasy anime set during the viking age
Highly recommended
@@lorgoat4991 whaaaat!
I'm definitely gonna go check that out thank you👍
Anime is for pedophiles
@@EstbXCIII its fairly good season 2 came out to
Part of the history education I got from Crusader Kings
They sound like on of the few professional armies of the middel ages
They most likely didn't exist and were a myth.
Or like a Norse equivalent of a chivalric order.
@@BioshockDrill probably right but still cool to think about
@@BioshockDrill or that was ideal they tried to be, but likely failed.
If they existed, they were considered the worst thing you could encounter, and then you were the Viking.
The Vikings of the Vikings.
Thanks for reminding me to play crusader kings and watch vinland saga later
Just seems like a Viking version of an order of Knights
One of the most badass units from any Viking saga or epic tale of the Norsemen.
Wolin in Poland. Great place to visit, in fact thousands flock to it every year. Everything there is recreated, from huts and fully functional ships, to dresses, jewelery, swords etc.
Wolin was near to Jomsborg to keept them in check.
@@joew9690Correctly.
Would love to see more longer video-content on mythic/secret groups or units! ❤

"They were absolute chads"
No they were not. Vikings used to r word a lot
@@rudra1286chads
Kinda ironic that I got this suggested right after I watched Vinland Saga S2
I learned about them in an assassin's creed book
Jesus Christ! They're real?! I thought Vinland Saga made them up
They were probably real but there’s not a lot of info on them just a couple of runestones
And a 12 year old boy defeated one of their leaders in a duel and joined their ranks
His name was Vagn Åkesson
JomsVikings vs Templar Knights!

@@gallowglass3764That’s why you need Teutonic knights instead.

Awww following the trend of Vinland saga are we?
Okay universe I’ll watch Vinland saga again
Me and the boys creating our “No Girls Allowed” club
And then they were disbanded by thorfinn karlsefni
It's like Battle Brothers really
Amon amarth is the reason I'm watching this short
this reminds me, i can't wait for what's gonna happen to them in vinland saga season 3
Who do you think will win jomsvikings of Varangian guard
Thanks for sharing the information in this video ⚔️
Norwegians always slaugthered the Jomsvikings, from Hjorungavagr to the Siege of Jomsborg. They are extremely overglorified.
It was never about winning battles, it was about fighting with death defiance. And by the way, they defeated the Norwegian king Olaf Tryggvason in the naval battle of Svold.
@@RackerPaS 11 ships vs 70? And if you even know about the Battle of Svolder, youd know it was the Norwegian rebels on the coalition side that actually won the battle.
Bannerlord's Skolderbroda are inspired by them
They are the redpill vikings of folklore
What do you call a hungry viking?
A Nomsviking.
Who were stronger, the Jomsvikings Or the Vikings
Jomsvikings were just mercaneries, They lost like every important battle. Norway never lost against them.
@@prinz5816Olaf Tryggvason?
they were a group of Vikings that were Mercenaries, Blessed Be.
They were real and Thorkel the Tall was a REAL actual person
the Spartans of the Vikings.... got it.
They were disbanded by a man who has no enemies

Shame thorfinn disbanded them
They Kicked Ass!
Sources?
Don't get me wrong, I don't doubt that this may be correct, I just want to know where this has come from
Togetherness !!!!
Reminds me of the Ravens in Banner Saga
To this day, the Norse were WAY more cooler than the Anglo-Saxons and the Karlings (Arpad/Hungarians are an exception since they're based)
What was cool about them? Their tendency to rape, murder, and enslave people? The Anglos and the Franks were adjacent cultures, not much was different besides their religions.
So they were a biker gang before motorcycles existed lol
LMFAO😂😂

So knights of Templars but Norseman

What's with the no woman in the fortress city? I feel like the answer is going to be gross.
Looks better than the romans
They really do sound kinda based tho...
My mother told me.
make khaleed ibn waleed
JoEmsvikings
I was never interested in the viking setting until I watched the anime Vinland Saga
I forgot it was Monday
THE JOMSVIKINGS
Fing cool
I mesn you know their a rumor right? Like we dont even know if jomsborg existed😅😅😅
It did, it was located on Wolin Island in modern Poland.
Ok on jom
Communist Viking bros?
More like non-Christian military order. Also, in tribal societies spoils of war were often shared equally because raids and warfare were perceived as group activities. In Europe we also call such social structure a "war democracy".
When you know of the jomsvikings from anime.
They were in Amon Amarth songs . There , saved you a click 😐
In short, they are Africannot Black
Proto communism
they were allies for king Cnut

No women eh? Sounds like it was a cover up for something.... hehe.
?
TLDR dont have women around to be an effective fighting force. Modern armies seem to have forgotten that lil tidbit...

something like Serbian “Dragon Order”
