FACTFULNESS
Danish vikings lived in Ribe and Aarhus from year 700. Roskilde and Copenhagen was just founded 500 years later(1200, and no viking had never set their foot in Copenhagen. The first capital Aros, which grew to the most important city in Scandinavia, by king Harold Bluetooth, was burned down 9 times, and Harold was assasinated in his beloved city, before the capital were moved to Copenhagen, and the people of Mainland Jutland, were made slaves. They still pay heavy taxes, to support the city of Copenhagen, which still in 2022 cannot support itself. A city on welfare.

Brilliant!
Well presented and researched, thank you.
I love to learn about all things Viking, and their Journey's, Battles etc.
I always feel a bit of loss when the end of the Viking era is talked about, the emergance of Christondom in place of the Old Gods.
The Viking's never Died out though, they just adapted with the times.
We still use their Words, their Street Names, their Towns, Cities and, Villages.
They're alive and strong within us all!

In 1069, William paid massive Danegeld to Sweyn II of Denmark to leave Yorkshire. William was unable to figure out how to take York and the North, so he paid, for a really long leased victory. Maybe the Norwegians were coming to Denmark for some of those riches, just paid.

Getting sick of people calling themselves historians and calling everything Viking when only a small part were actual raiders/pirates, there are other more truthful names for those people of that time. Sad.

Pete, thanks so much for these videos. I am learning a lot about my ancestors through them. Andrew Skipper, possibly descended from the Norman Skeppa who were Danish basketmakers.

To anyone visiting Copenhagen it is well worth the trip to the Roskilde Museum. I did it back in 1975 and would certainly go again if I went over to Cenmark.

This was absolutely brilliantly made! Far better then many of the documentaries on Television or Netflix. An inspiration for future work of mine.

The revolt against Knud d. Hellige was not a peasant revolt. Modern historians interpret it, on solid basis, as a revolt of the Magnates.

I was in Roskilde two months ago, and fell in love with the area. Watching your video made me want to go back and tear up the return ticket.

The map at 6: 44 is modern, in old days a large fiord, Lammefjorden, almost cut through to the west, it is now used for growing carrots.

Um, was Amsterdam a settlement of any importance during the 11th Century?
It must be on that map for a reason 26: 06
