I hate this bot talk. Why can you people not just narrate? I held 3 people in thrall over an afternoon tea on Friday, simply by talking them through a doc I had watched on the Titanic! There is nothing Better than the Human Voice. How do you think this history survived? Not by Alexa!
Try 'Reading the past'' 'Tasting History' 'They got away with murder' to see how to do it properly.
I can't be bothered with this. It is like listening to a Call Centre on hold voice over.
You obviously researched it then wasted it.

I am from Northampton and often wondered where the expression me duck, which was commonly used in the town (though I think it used less nowadays) came from. I did not realise it came from the the Danes. I knew Northampton was invaded and settled by the Vikings though I was unsure if we were part of the Danelaw or not. There are traces of that invasion and settlement in some of the place names in the town like Kingsthorpe or Danes camp and just round the corner from me old alleys called Danes Passage and Danes backside.

The battle of Brunanburh 937ad, on Wirral (Storeton Woods just North of the M53 Clatterbridge Roundabout, confirmed by Wirral Archaeology late 2021 - their book 'Never Greater Slaughter' covers it, anyone reading / watching 'The Last Kingdom' series by Bernard Cornwell (he wrote the Sharpe series too, read book 13 'War Lord' which covers the battle & has confirmation at the end. Red Hill Road is said to be so called as it ran red with blood after the battle.

I love how the British called the Danes foreigners. Fact is, the Angles of the Anglo-Saxons, were a Danish tribe. They were from Angeln, in southern Denmark. The Jutes, which primarily inhabited Kent, were from the Jutland peninsula of Denmark. And the Saxons bordered the lands of the Anglii to the south. Crazy.

Other then that its PERFECT!
Great job!

My family came from Lincolnshire, within the area of the old kingdom of Lindsey. What can you find out about the origins of the village of Saltfleetby? This is the origins of my family group. When was it founded and by whom. It was obviously within the five boroughs.

I inherited a silver offer' coin that my grandfather found with his metal detector on the Welsh side of offers dyke which he had put into a sovereign ring
(He decleared the find and was allowed to keep it.
It's a great looking ring and a great conversational point.

Boy am I glad we don't speak Danish today. My mom is 100% Dane and when I hear her talk to her relatives it sounds like she is swallowing her words. It is a very difficult tongue to learn, especially the word red

This was a great video but could you maybe highlight the names of the towns you're referring to when showing the maps for us slower folks? It's a pain to have to pause, rewind and search all the time.

I found this video very interesting, although I kept getting distracted by the incongruous fall of modern American coins in a video about the Vikings in the center of ancient England.

Your videos are so informative and fascinating! My father's family originally hailed from the Norwich area. They're all blond with blue eyes. I reckon they are at least part Danish.

1: 34 though no archaeological evidence has yet been found for this
2: 06 yet, one of the periods of history with the least amount of verifiable historical information.
