Olaf Tryggvason: King of Norway 995-1000
video description
The map is somewhat inaccurate regarding the location of Trondheim.
The dot marking Trondheim is a bit too far west compared to where the city actually is located (and also where it was located in the past.
Also, back then it was named Nidaros (os meaning the mouth of a river and the rivers name being Nid) if I don't remember wrong.
The city has shifted between Nidaros and Trondheim/Trondhjem a few times now.

The error is especially clear there.
The city is located on the part sticking out into the fjord not to the left of the fjord like that.

Olof of Sweden betrayed Olov. The royal going from prince to slave to king again only to throw himself into the icecold waters of the Fjords. Betrayed by the swedes that wanted to assist Olov their king chose to kill him. When the swedes really wanted to restablish control over Kievan Rus like before Rurik with Olovs help. It is just how sad my country Sweden betrayed Olov in his time of need against the danes.

Oh I love this. The quality is superb! I don't know if you think it's relevant or if anyone has said this before in the comments below but while Trondheim is the name of the city today, it was called Nidaros at the time. Named after the river Nid or Nidelva as we locals call it. With that being said I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this and I can't wait to watch the rest of your videos!

Oh no, there is a lot of mistakes and misunderstandings in this video. For example, no one knows where Svold is- its suggested location near Rugen is pure guesswork. And second the Baltics is NOT arctic! It is actually quite pleasant (I bathe in it each year) and no Viking fleet would dream of fighting a sea battle in the winter!

Hello, I like your videos, but please consider keeping the volume consistent. I listen on headphones and have to turn up to hear your voice and then get blasted by the increased music volume between sections. Thank you.

The Viking age to me was definitely one the most interesting periods in Europe. If you haven't done a video on King Cnut already, I would really suggest him.

The man that tried to destroy Native Scandinavian Spiritualism in favor of Abrahamic filth that destroyed true European culture. I spit on this king's grave.

Bit historically incorrect indeed the Holy Roman Empire did try to invade the Norse but they was beaten and sent back to where there came from

I wonder which historical figure had the most metal name. Erik Bloodaxe must rank pretty high on the list.
