What are your thoughts on the Viking invasions and migrations into the British Isles? What effect do you think their DNA had on the local populations? Consider helping us create more episodes by supporting us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/The_Study_of_Antiquity_and_the_Middle_Ages
I would imagine that there could be some resentment among the descendants of the Vikings and those who were indigenous in ancestry. Tribal differences could have created division among the population. Maybe even small wars. Traditions and religion could have been vastly effected as truces developed, and created entirely new ways of life in many ways. They could carry forth even into the traditions and values of current time.
At the end of the day I think it should be (however carefully) that these 2 populations weren't extremely different from one another and indeed we can see that this so called "foreign" population was gradually absorbed into the general English population of the former Danelaw over time (with some setbacks such as the St Brice's day massacare) and we can clearly see that in the modern landscape, genetically/culturally/linguistically
Without sources: As far as I am aware Vikings carried out raids to be able to amass some property. They did so to in order to have enough social standing to have a chance of getting married. My guess would be, that enough stayed behind, because they saw a possible future without the need of further raids. Of course this still comes with Viking culture, that at a minimum finds raids acceptable.
to all the haters, this guy is great! probably the best anywhere on post-Roman/pre-Normann Brittan & Ireland. even though this lecture series is over ten years old at this point, it's excellent. thank you for posting it
I'm sure this is a really excellent video, but I just can't watch it because of all the static. Microphones do come with volume controls, please look into it.
Bloody hell, it is a really shame that someone did not know how to place the mic so as it did not make noise. These kind of mics are not meant to be use when someone is moving about.
He got the DNA thing wrong for Iceland. The y-dna and mtc are half and half with both - seeing both contributions from male and female British Isles people and male and female Scandinavian ones. Take heed - genetic drift and genetic bottlenecks (there were a couple of significant natural disasters in Iceland) can skew things into oblivion. He is correct about the Faroe Islands though.
@@gordonmcinnes8328 Wow. Then you're like a walking history of that place, eh? That's a pretty awesome result. When you got the results back it must have been both affirming and slightly boring at the same time -- you are exactly what you'd figure!
i feel sad the most that scandinavians and icelandish dont speak sounding irish and have gaelic language, it would have made the north atlantic perfect, each their own english accent
Wait, what? But Goidelic and Brythonic languages (Celtic languages of British Isles and Brittany) are not directly related to English in any way. They aren't Germanic languages.
Why doesn’t this guy organize a lesson plan ahead of time and have his maps ready. He’s happy to waste the students’ time, isn’t he? Guess he’s not passionate about the subject He teaches.
he is very disorganized not just in this lesson, but every one I've seen him do. But he's also pretty brilliant and has rare insight into these subjects. The best part of taking his class live would be the days you can just sit there and let him ramble on like all Historians like to do ;) I'd kind of like to just sit down, drink beers, and ask him a ton of questions. lol.
@@Caesar_1415 - amazingly Bilkent University is in Ankara, Turkey. This has to be in some way connected with the fact that the Celts are said to have originated there in Anatolia.

Average Joe that is a great insight and I couldn’t agree more!

Recent y dna study from trinity college said lots of mix between norway ireland population.r1b i think

Very distracting mic noise!
You mean microphones have volume controls? I mean it's not as if the video editor can dampen the mic effect.
Not a question about volume, but where the mic is placed.
Gave up listening after 7 minutes 😡
What’s all that racket at the microphone? Around 9 minutes, sounds like someone opening bag after bag of chips, can’t hear.
any Viking presence in Ireland in late 7th century?
A lot of Irish slaves in Iceland. An Icelandic visitor to Limerick said he thought he was at home looking at us locals.

I’m trying to find my Gaffney origins, I think from Roscommon but I’m looking for more. Give me more give me more

I would have got my PowerPoint going and shown pictures of Lindisfarne and York...
very good info that we need

Another video with that annoying scratching sound. I stopped watching, which is a shame because I enjoy this professor's lectures.
My DNA is 73% Scot, 23% Irish and 4% Norwegian. This is the history of my ancestry by and large. Only surprise, no appreciable English.
haha same story with me!
Ahoy!
Would make it more interesting if you added where you're from. Are you from Scotland?
@@niclas9990 West Coast of Scotland, and if the genetics are anything to go by, so are my ancestors.

What college is this lecture taking place in?
It's called tenure.
