Ragnall ua mair: The Sea King Daryl: Thanks for another great video! . I said nothing, but felt a chill pass through me. Ragnall Ivarson was a name I knew, a name we all knew, a name that had spread fear up and down the Irish Sea. He was a Norseman who called himself the Sea King, for his lands were scattered wherever the wild waves beat on rock or sand. He ruled where the seals swam and the puffins flew, where the winds howled and where ships were wrecked, where the cold bit like a knife and the souls of drowned men moaned in the darkness. His men had captured the wild islands off Scotland, had bitten land from the coast of Ireland, and enslaved folk in Wales and on the Isle of Mann. It was a kingdom without borders, for whenever an enemy became too strong, Ragnalls men took to their long ships and sailed to another wild coast. - Warriors of the Storm, Cornwell

Hi,
I don't mean to put more strain on you but I just finished watching all your videos and am thoroughly disappointed that they are a finite resource.
Your music is never out of place and actually very good samples from composers and artists I need to get to know.
Your narration is a product of your knowledge and talent and the subject matter is concerned about topics I've never heard of despite reading much on history.

Great video, but please, please stop pronouncing Ui as oo-ee. Its pronounced ee as in the word, see.
Oh and I know your map is just supposed to be a generalization of the area the Vikings controlled, but they never controlled all of Leinster like that. They surely raided into those areas, but they never controlled it. Their area of control was limited to coastal regions like Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Limerick, etc.

Thank you for your excellent videos and posts History Time. I wonder what your source is for the expulsion of the vikings from Dublin in 902, and the destination of Wales for one of the groups? I'm trying to gather what info I can on the vikings in Wales and this seems very important. This is also suggested by the background map. Any goss about norse influence in Pembrokeshire?

I've always been fascinated by The concept of a Sea bound kingdom/Empire. Carthage, the Polynesian's, Dal Riata (I know It's spelt wrong lol, the North Sea Empire of King Cannut of Denmark, Venice, etc. Heck even the Roman Empire could be classified as such since the Mediterranean literally sat at the heart of it.

Love the vids man but Ireland isnt part of Great Britain as said at the end and as Britains name is derived from the Latin which then came back into use via the Normans (Brittany/Greater Brittany) saying British isles shouldnt really be used when referring to Britain and Ireland.
reply

This content is some of the very very best of British history I have ever seen.
Absolutely love it. I love this period of history and you bring it all together in a way that is factual but in a way a bit like the very Norse Saga's themselves.

reply

Mate, your string of Viking and British isles-related videos are beginning to deserve a playlist of their own. Something that allows for easier chronological viewing. As usual, great narrative and storytelling.
reply

I plan to do a realistic map of the British Isles (and Ireland) for Age of Empires 2. I love Vikings and Celts, and plan to learn Old Norse as well as Irish. Too bad the Irish prefer English.
reply

I think Ragnar and some of these other people you cover here are ancestors to Olaf the Black and are the progenitors of clan MacLeod of which I am a decendant many times over.
reply

So even if love and lust were not in Ivar the Boneless's nature, he must have got it on at some point in his life! This is very informative.
reply

0 dislikes! How could you dislike such a piece of history and such a detailed description? Love your videos man, cheers from Italy!
reply

the vikings never ruled anything like that much of ireland. All they had was dublin waterford cork and limerick along the coast
reply

Corbridge is just down the valley from me haha - nice to have you cover something so close to home! Loved it mate
reply
