Why no mention of the battle of Brunanburh in 937 in which Aethelstan defeated the allied armies of Olaf Guthfrithson, (Dublin) Constantine (Alba) and Owain (Strathclyde, which resulted in all the Saxon kingdoms of England showing fealty to Aethelstan as the one true king of all England. It is recognised by many historians today as the start of England as a nation state.

Im not sure about the etymology of 'Viking' since there are (scarce) sources of memorial stones to Danes 'going to/in Viking' and dying on the trip. Its quite possible that in Old English the word would mean raider or pirate (for obvious reasons, but I am under the impression that its older

Are you a Jordy? You speak so fast, that with your accent, you are difficult to follow. I have a friend from. Newcastle, and she also speaks rapidly. She also complains that Americans are sluggards when speaking English. Still, i like your presentations.

8: 08 you forgot Waterford on the map of Viking kingdoms/City States.
Which is funny as you included Wexford which is the one that people usually forget was a Viking city - likely due to it never being a royal city under the English.

Snottingham being renamed Nottingham is one of the unintentionally best decisions made in history.
Can you imagine being born in Snottingham and anyone taking you seriously?

Given how powerful Danes, Norse, and Anglo-Saxons were, it's amazing that you guys call yourselves British now especially if Britons were considered second-class citizens.

Wait, so if all the vikings were allies, how come the viking kingdom of York offered an alliance to Mercia against Dublin, which was also a viking kingdom?

4 years late but the Wirral was Norse, hence the high incidence of Norwegian DNA amongst people from the Wirral with a long established lineage there.
