Viking Raids | What It Was Like to Be On the Front Lines
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 มิ.ย. 2024
- Ten-foot spears, three-foot shields, and a thousand raving warriors - Viking combat was brutal, bloody, and often deadly. Whether raiding a defenseless monastery to haul off gold and jewels or lining up to battle a rival army, Vikings took no prisoners on the battlefield. The life of a Viking warrior started in childhood when boys would train and hunt to learn the spear. But the warrior's life wasn't only for boys; shield-maidens fought alongside the men during Viking battles, throwing spears and fending off enemies. Sometimes Vikings also made love connections on the battlefield.

Do You Think There Are Better Fighters Than the Vikings?
If that woman that was buried with her sword was a warrior, how come her sword wasn't retired/rolled up
Yeah the Saxon Housecarl's would take the Vikings apart,as they did under Athelstan and Harold Godwinson.
*Ţяэßş ŢдќєŞ™* Most certainly. Here are three examples:
A) 18 to 30 year-old latino with a cheating hubby.
B) 18 to 30 year-old hispanic w/ cheating hubby.
C) 18 to 30 year-old dominican with a vengeance.

Vikings weren't actually that good at fighting,. When it came down to battles, Vikings got beat most times. On the other hand, they were fantastic traders.
Dont know
Imagine eating an absurd amount of psychedelic mushrooms before going into battle screaming like a wolf while slashing your enemies. Talk about a trip

You forgot to mention that the technology that created the Viking ship, is now considered the premier technological advance of the era. Viking ships could be built, taken apart, cartes up rivers and/or across to other rivers. They could be built large enough for open ocean going or small enough to hug the shore or go on rivers. All one needed to repair one was an axe, the knowledge as to what to do and a forest to create new pieces for the ship.
So modern historians now consider Viking ships the best European technology of the Middle Ages. Not bad.

Viking raids were pretty simple in plan. Everyone jumps off the ship, grabs whatever they can, kills anyone who gets in the way, and then runs back to the ship before any soldiers can show up. As a wise man once said, "SNATCH AND GRAB Y'ALL!"
Wrong, but i don't feel like debating another YT-expert.

Drinking ale with Odin and my friends in Valhalla. Now that's a religion I could enjoy.
You only made it to Valhalla if three things happen. 1) You died in battle. 2) You died with a weapon in your hand. 3) The Valkyrie (Odin's daughters) find you worthy.
You'd either go to Freya's Folkvangr (the meadow for the people, with a beautiful hall where Freya resides) or you'd go to Valhalla, to Odin's hall. There you would not just drink, buy you'd fight your brothers and later on feast and drink and share your stories. Your ancestors would also be there.
Until Ragnarok arrives and brother will slay brother and son will slay father and the long winter sets in (sound familiar?). Jormungandr, the monstrous giant snake will emerge from the sea and swallow Thor whole. Jormungandr's monstrous wolf brother will slay Odin and everything resets again. The first man and woman will return to populate the earth, the gods and giants will reappear and the cycle restarts.

I've studied Viking and dark age history for 40 years. This video is absolute pap
Yeah, I was about to recommend a LindyBeige video about this "Berserker" bunk.
Thank you. As a scandinavian with a personal interest in my culture (studied for some 35 years), I feel this might very well be the absolutely worst documentary on the topic that I have seen in my life. This channel should change its name to "Inaccurate History", "Weird Fiction" or something like it.
I think you are being unreasonable towards the pap, though.
@@nathanlevesque7812 well actually Lindybeige wasn't entirely correct either. He missed some key sources about the mythology surrounding berserkers. Check out Jackson Crawford's video on it. He's a professor of norse studies and language. There are actually traditional sources in the edas that support some of the stereotypical ideas. It was told that they could not be harmed by iron or fire, fought many people in the Holmgang, and won every time. Except the one dude who, once challenged by a berzerker, had to bite his throat out to kill him. It's also said that many berserkers fought with Harald Fairhair in England. Obviously the myths are false, but it gives some information about what berzerkers actually were like. Perhaps they all believed that iron could not hurt them, and so wore no armour, thus explaining the possible transition of "bare shirt" for "berserker". Not for sure, mind you, but possible.
What is a dark age?
You studied for 40 years and ended up in the TH-cam comment section.
All that for nothing. 🤣🤣.
What a waste of life 🤣🤣🤣
4:00 I know Bjorn & Ivor when I see them 👀😂❤

Same
I'm studying for programming right now, and some how came across this video 😂
You naughty boy
1. I dont think there's that much evidence to suggest berserkers fought with no armour. Pretty sure this is a myth.
2. The norse god of war is Tyr, not Odin.
Yeah
th-cam.com/video/PBUGQkpk3RE/w-d-xo.html
Depends on the aspect of war. Tyr for the most part, but Odin handles a few things. After all, half of all fallen warriors go to Valhalla.
There are several inaccuracies in this video. I've actually unsubscribed, because I just came from another video that also contained misinformation. Ragnar Lothbrok and Lagertha weren't real people - they were mythological characters, like King Arthur and Guineviere, or Beowulf.

The Viking did have laws. They even had a form of judicial system at the "Ting" where disputes were settled.
A very common Viking weapon was the throwing stone, a long thin stone used both on land and in sea battles.
*Thing
@@drunkenbarbarian8211
Well, that is probably the "correct" norse pronounciation, but here in Scandinavia it is written and pronounced "Ting". In Norway the main courts are called Borgarting, Gulating and so on. The national assembly is called Storting.
Yeah, the Vikings had . . . a ton of laws. Or socially-expected rules/expectations/customs. Read any Saga and you see how much these rules drive behavior.
You going to the ting? Ya man. Da meeting ting. Tings crazy ya
@Ronnie Folketinget, Stortinget, Alltinget... then you have Sweden Riksdagen (as always they are the pussies of Scandinavia).
Courts in Norway: Gulating, Borgarting, Frostating.
So Viking romance is somewhat like:
Man: "Hi, I saw you in battle earlier where you killed 12 enemies. Loved the good sword technique you have....so......I was wondering if you are free Friday evening after we raid that village south..."
Woman: "Thanks, it's actually 16 kills. Actually I'm into guys that can kill bears and hounds bare handed"
Man: "Really, wow, I actually do that quite often. In fact just got one's last summer. I still got these bear fangs right here"
Woman: "Wow cool. Let's meet on Friday at the victory party then"

Vikings didn't use only shield for defense. They also had armors. Chainmail used by wealthier warriors and gambeson by not so wealthy. Not to mention helmets. Honestly, if you were soldier back then, would you rely solely on shield for defense?
But weren't alot of thise raiders poor. I mean maybe all the vikings got were what they scavenged from their enemies so a shield would be ideal
@@Argos-xb8ek I know this comment is from a month ago but it's highly likely all Vikings wore gambeson. Gambeson is insanely effective as armour as well very cheap and easy to repair. Most if not all Vikings definitely had helmets, too. Helmets are vital in warfare.
@@herrfantastisch7489 No I'm happy someone replied to this comment I just thought the vikings were just raiders that scavenged what they could like a sea faring version of mongols
@@Argos-xb8ek Nah, it's all good. I don't know much about Viking culture but I know that they most likely at least had gambeson because going into a fight without any armour would be bad lol

Nice touch using alec steele's sword in there

This is by far one of the best channels on you tube. I’m obsessed!
Love that Irish Mickey Ward reference! Mick and Gotte 3 fights were nothing short of legendary! What warriors!
Valhalla AC brought me here and I'm not disappointed 😁
It is great
The Vikings were smart and talented in battle but brutal. Many hadn't seen this type of 'take no prisoners' warfare and it had to be terrifying!
Lol, pretty sure they didn't make slaves of the dead but so many history videos about Vikings and scandanavian people are incorrect or contradictory so who knows
I must have been a berserker Viking when I was a teen cause I did that same thing,had no fear and attacked anybody in my path like a fool
no, you were just an idiot

Such amazing and Interesting information! I love your channel man!. Once I watch one the marathon begins.
Look, forget any possible historical facts, Can I say, there isnt a red blooded male, that hasnt wished, at some point, he was a Viking warrior. I know I have, and I'm 63
Hell yeah, raiding monasteries in the name of Tyr and Odin, burning everything that stand in the way, navigating around with other vikingr and the hygiene, pure awesomeness 🪓
There are also a few women that wouldn’t mind being badass shield-maidens.
Overuse commas much
The existance of Beserkers is uncertain. Some sagas depict them differently and it is likely they were not as crazed as some think, as it would not have been so useful to deploy lunatics who are just as likely to attack you as the enemy. Also not wearing armor while being in a state of lunacy would probably get you killed pretty fast
It’s actually not Harold Finehair used them to conquer Norway same with Caute the Great and Harold Hadrada even the Germanic tribes who fought Romans had berserkers 😂
Bruce Jedi lee of Sweden 😂😂😂😂 as a Norwegian this makes me laugh
I heard “Vinland”and “Saga” and got excited, especially when Leif was mentioned ✊🏼😁

Seriously, sweetheart, it's kind've been the new meta for years now, to debunk viking helmets.
@@starhawck It was just a comment and I've been saying the same to my friends and family for years because they all seem to think that the horns pointed up and since I was the one who is the history nut in my circles, I pointed it out to them. This information was based on what the historians have been saying. NO, it's not that I'm proud of myself, I'm happy to know the truth. Maybe you can stop seeing statements of others through your own eyes and see maybe that there are A LOT OF PEOPLE who still don't know that fact....

This is my favorite of your guys' productions thus far, but I am biased. I collect medieval weaponry/armor and by far Viking style wargear is my favorite. Although none of my spears are 10' long I think the length of the haft in this case was usually determined by the height of the one that's meant to wield it as well as its intended purpose. Interesting note on the weight of battlegear. Like you say swords were usually about 2.5-3 lbs, but armor is quite heavy. My viking shields weigh between 7-10 lbs and a solid spangenhelm on top of the head will weigh between 5-8 pounds depending on the style. A hauberk of mail will weigh another 25-30 lbs, and even that has to be worn over a padded garment called a gambeson which is an additional 6-8 lbs. Dehydration and heatstroke killed many more warriors than is generally realized, as well as those unfortunate ones that might get knocked down and trampled in a melee. Then again only jarls and other wealthy individuals would have worn heavy armoring, and they would've had retainers.
The female warrior mentioned around 09:30 was found in Sweden Birka, not Burka
Watching this episode, Ulfberht sword - the super-weapon of the time comes to mind..
People overlook the part about soldiers having no fearing being in an adrenaline state before the fight
One of my ancestors was a Norwegian viking who moved to Iceland. And that's why I'm Icelandic.
We may be related..from my mothers side there were Sigurdsons..a Great Great Uncle Olaf and his daughter was a Helga by way of Norway.
Norwegian and Icelandic. The same thing it's still Nordic ;)
It started on my -1181st birthday. Neat. I love how the show has all the visuals.
Great presentation and excellent visuals!
I'd love to see more videos on the vikings. Perhaps on their history/their beliefs (norse mythology) etc. More on the ancient Scandinavian cultures!
Coming soon
If you want reliable information and wild stories, read the Sagas of the Icelanders, or The Poetic Edda, or The Prose Edda. That's way more direct.
Anyone else watching this because of AC Valhalla?
I love the music in these videos
AHHH the history of my ancestors from the old days.... exciting!!
Actually the first documented 'Viking' attack was at Portland in 787, described in the Anglo Saxon Chronicle, when the local reeve, Beorhtic, and some of his men were killed. Odin was NOT "the god of war". The whole subject of berserkers is problematic, that is to say unproven, as are the assertions made about 'shield maidens'. The Sagas are (like the t.v. series) are full of stories and myths that are self evidently exaggerated or completely invented - as still evidently happens.
There were more gods of war. Odin was one of them.
@@fastertove No, the idea of there being "gods of" anything is a modern misconception, certainly as regards the Norse. If you don't believe me, go to the videos of Norse specialist Dr Jackson Crawford on TH-cam, or any respectable scholar like Kathleen Herbert. There were gods who had character traits and as such are associated with abstractions, but no contemporary or later medieval writing refers to any "gods of" anything.
@@darklingeraeld-ridge7946 I agree that the Norse probably didn't label them as "gods of...", but people did seem to pray to especially Tyr, Thor and Odin regarding military matters - If this is the case they must be gods of war. They didn't have the same hard defined roles as you see in other religions like in Rome or ancient Egypt (likely due to the oral tradition over writing and the lack of a central control), and was more seen as role models. But still, I don't see why they aren't gods of war... They were gods, they glorified war and were apparently often prayed to regarding war.
@@fastertove It's that idea of fixed roles that is wrong, and is essentially a modern habit of thought based on, as you say, other cultures. But even in those, this kind of labelling or badge awarding is lazy. One reason it's worth being alert to these things is that it is easy to assume that we can reconstruct the mind-set of these cultures - and simplify them - when in fact the original evidence which has survived does not support any such assumptions. The present video to which we are commenting has more than it's fair share of those.
@@darklingeraeld-ridge7946 What some people call lazy, others might describe as a way of understanding or describing the larger picture. Especially for layman and people just getting into this part of history, fx a younger audiance). For good and for worse, this will likely become more and more common, as it is a way to cope with the increasing complexity of our modern Society.
Not all have the luxury to dig down in all different versions of fx Tyr to get the full picture. I do agree that we should be aware of "badge awarding", but I don't think this is the case with referring to some gods as war gods. Perhaps the issue is more, that people aren't aware that the religion(religions is more describing) weren't dogmatic in nature, and their gods and heroes deeds were perhaps more as entertainment than "gospel". What makes things more complicated is that it extremely hard to distinguish what was original part of the stories , and what were added by monks with preunderstanding of other cultures.
I'm no expert in this field, by any means, but I think it is a great tool to understand the broader meaning (again, especially for schoolkids) before digging into the very few facts we actually know. Let's face it, we make assumptions all the time when describing something - but hopefully become wiser with each iteration. We are all more or less ignorant about what really happened :-)
"All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain".
Any way, I get what you are saying, but I am still unable to find arguments why they can't be refered to gods of war, because that is what they infact are and can be described as, but I do still agree that they weren't necessarily named that directly by their followers/audience. I disagree that it just lazyness, because most people dont need to know all about everything.
So basically. I think we agree with most, but not modern name stamping.
Sorry if my english isn't great. The main reason I react to these videos, is to practice.
*Berserk means literary "only the tunic" ber=only/bare, serk=tunic*
_in Sweden when i grew up i still heard people say things like " och han sprang ut i bara serken"= "and he ran out in only hes tunic,"_
_using the "bara serken" expression as a part of a story was a kind of humorous/kind of serious expression_ _of emergency people used when they wanted to retell a dramatic or slightly dramatic event._
_a tunic had not been in fashion for a long time when i was a kid, and you could sense that this expression was ancient in some way i cant describe._

Thanks for pointing out the helmets....I enjoy your videos.
Just don't learn too much from them, this video is insulting to anyone who knows anything about this field.
Horned helms, and other similar decoration, were reportedly the realm of some Gallic Celts in the ancient/classical period.
@@NefariousKoel And in Scandinavia there has been found a couple that - sort of - passes as horned helmets as well, only they're from the bronze age and clearly ceremonial headpieces. They're basically the same as the celtic ones, as they're also ceremonial. If you want to look them up, they're called the Viksø helmets. The whole horned helmet viking thing is borderline offensive to Scandinavians, though. While people these days are slowly discovering that vikings never wore horned helmets, I've known that for all of my life. :)
Another fun fact is vikings were the first Europeans to reach North America, long before other European settlers. They would skip from the coasts of Iceland and Greenland to land in the north eastern shores of North America. It's theorized that the only reason they never settled in North America was because the Native tribes were large and powerful. It wasn't until North America's own version of the black plague wiped out most of the Native Americans, that Europeans were able to overwhelm the population and conquer the land.
That friar duck reference and the voice you did for that one speech omg just marry me
Some early medieval paintings did depict Vikings with protrusions on their helms. But it was mainly for ceremonial purposes. Also, the Vikings did convert to Christianity in their later period. I think the program "Time Team" covered that issue on one of their episodes.

10:20 not saying shield maidens didn’t exist (trying to deny archeology would be foolish), but female warriors were less common than their male counterparts (just because they were less common DOES NOT mean they didn’t exist) because the women most commonly stayed behind to look after the home (ie: children, farm, etc) while the men were away

@10:02 Kathrine Winnick Alert! She absolutely slays me, no pun intended.
Why so many pictures depicting ancient Finns? Finns weren't vikings.
There weren't any Vikings... Vikingr was something the Norse did (raiding). Beserker's crazed fighting capabilities are probably mythical (they were most likely untrustworthy and unruly mercenaries). There aren't any books written by 'vikings' because they wrote their stories on stones - and it's difficult to write your detailed story on a rock :)
Many paintings of Rome, Charlemagne, Vikings, etc were painted hundreds of years after the events... by people not knowing the full story or biased.

@@turtle2720 The term "Viking" is used to describe a certain group of people who shared a similar culture. Finnish people did not share this culture, so they can't be considered Vikings. Their depiction in this video is, therefore, inaccurate.
