Olaf Guthfrithson: King of Dublin (934-941) Andri: Im having a hard time beliving that a norse man in this time would be named Sihtric. Surely this is distortion of his real name though tales and time. My guess is that his name was Sigtryggur and people would then tell stories about Sigtrygg, in old norse and modern icelandic (Similar to old norse) words and names decline in four cases (nominative, accusative, dative and genitive) and vary in gender (masculine, feminine or neuter) and number (singular and plural) with his name then being distorted into Sihtric as time went by, just my thought, and probably someone will now say yeah but there are written documentation with his name written like that, I will only buy that if those are written within 100 years of his death and that is not very likely the case (dont know much about his story or documentasion og his story.

As of today I have discovered a dictionary that allows me to read and write in Elder Futhark as an ideogram. Please look at, 'The Log of the Kensington Runestone' on 'You Tube', for an introduction to my discovery. This show has been seen in over 37 countries to date. People have been sending me inscriptions from their locals and I have found I can read a number of them. Stories from over six centuries ago are now readable. Email (mrkejohnsoncenturylink. net) for a copy of my report. Do you want to read the runes in your area?

As someone from Dublin Ireland this video is definitely gonna be a interesting view. Its mad that I know more history about England then my own country but I hope to change that soon and I guess this is a start lol.
But really cheers for the content I know these videos you make takes insane amounts of time and research, I and many others genuine appreciate your content, keep it up!

Im just wondering why the Wirral has been missed out of your video with the expelled vikings from Dublin. As wirral has a massive hiberno norse heritage and was a key site at the time, and the peninsula was gifted to the vikings by the lady of Mercia.
Other wise it was a great video. Just feels like you missed out on some key information

Hi, great video. The Irish Vikings were an important and sometimes (in my view) overlooked part of Irish history. I remember a while ago you saying that you would publish a bibliography of your books. I know that you have a reading list which I have used. I'm looking for some new books so the bibliography would prove invaluable. Thanks.

i understand the need for a well warranted break, but dear Prof, my I be the first to say Welcome Back, it has been a bit of a dry spell without you. This is not as bitter as it sounds, for I have had your Voices of the Past to keep my history addiction in check. Master, you are without a doubt, missed when you are absent. Tarah.

Olaf Guthfrithson king of Dublin?
Guthfrith is the Saxon way of spelling Gudfred. Gudfred king of the Danes was probably his father or at least related. That name was not and is not a common name here in Scandinavia it's a name meaning god peace and must've come about after Christianity was introduced in Scandinavia.

Is it true that the Celts inhabited the land (Greenland) long before the Anglo-Saxons did that in fact a lot of the Anglo-Saxons wanted to hold a grudge against the Vikings for what they did when in fact they did the exact same thing to the Celts is there any truth to that I heard a story about this

Very impressed with the detail and clarity you present these videos, as well as the subject matter. As clear as history will allow anyway. LOL Events can really be confusing with the seeming non-stop warring between peoples and their bottomless barrel of fickle factions.

Wow, Hilbert have found you back when you had less then 100 subs. Your first vid i saw was the one that blew up i think it was the real uhtred. I don't remember how many subs you had back then, a few thousands?
reply

Really enjoyed this one. It certainly explains how the heck Danish/Scandinavian came up in my ancestry. I expected the Irish and English, and even Spanish, but not Scandinavian.
reply

Amazing video I love Ireland and so sad what happened to them during the colonialisation. But really awesome history. I did not know about the king
reply

Kinda fun to think what the British isles would be like had the Scandinavians maintained control.
I expect we'd see the effects still today.

reply

Im a new sub. Im 62% Irish, Cork, Waterford, Roscommon, and Mayo. The rest is Aberdeenshire. This is part of my history. Thank you!
reply

Words cannot explain how grateful I am for this video and others like it. Actually made me tear up with pride for the Irish heritage.
reply

Watched Gilbert before but his presentation isnt quite as fun as yours or Kings and General, but admit hes very informative.
reply

Thanks for the vid! We Irish ultimately wiped out the vikings the same way we always had done. by making them Irish too!
reply

Didnathelstan have more troops than the three Kings combined or was he simply a better commander like Alex g?
reply

Your videos about the Vikings brought me here and I'm gonna stick around because you make great content
reply

I am from Dublin and my DNA TEST said I am closer to the Danes of Denmark than anywhere else in the world
