I'm 3rd generation Irish & Danish American. I am very proud of my farmer Irish & Viking roots
Couple of clarifications: - Wolin (Jomsborg) is at Oder estuary and not Vistula, as map showed. - Pomeranian Slavs were so intimidated by fearsome Jomsvikings from Jomsborg that they had their capital Stettin 50km from Wolin. In fact, prince Racibor even raided Norse main city Kungahälla in 1135, some time after Jomsborg was destroyed by king Magnus the Gud. - Truso was abandoned soon after Gdansk was founded by Polans in Gdansk Bay - Bodzia is placed in close vicinity of Wloclawek, old power center. The scheme looks obvious - Vikings were allowed to stay near power centers as merchants, craftsmen and mercenaries.
That's not true and this video is pure B/S watch a video titled The Slavs:The myth of the docile Peasant.
Great video. Keep them coming
That's a trick question. There were no "Last Vikings". They became Christians and went on to rule most of Northern Europe and still do to this day. It's also a trick question because the people we call Vikings historically never called themselves that - viking was a verb, not a noun or a name. It meant to go on an expedition. (Unless you were a Briton, in which case it meant 'pirate'). The Viking Age was romanticized in the 18th century and from that was born the term Viking as we use it to describe the Norsemen (Northmen).

They're not ruling to today. If they were, they would have a unified identify.

This video provides me with as much or more information about the history of Ukraine, Russia, and Poland as any document or documentary that I have ever seen. This speaks to your hard work and ethics. Great video. Enjoyed it.
Mate don't believe any of this crap...it's not true. Check out a video titled The Slavs::The myth of the docile peasant. That's where you will find the real story.
@@mik823 l will. It sounds interesting. Thanks.
@@jamesdeen3011 also watch a video titled I am a socialist: Hitler's socialism / destroying the denialist counter argument on a channel called Tik. This video explains where this racism towards the Slavs was first manifested and why. Please enjoy.
They made their way to Minnesota - haven’t had success since.
Harald almost won over Denmark at the battle at Aros (Århus). The ramparts of the fort in the middle of the city is still visible. I walked over it for years before I knew what it really was.
These documentaries will last as long as the re-enactment clubs.
Ha ha so true - long live the LARP-ers
Not long at all...it's pure B/S
And the Rus are still a viking too this very day 🙏
Not true. This video is pure garbage. Watch a video titled The Slavs: the myth of the docile peasant.
the vikings vent to Crist, and then went to be the first knits in Normandy
damned Cristen knits
@@aaronjaben7913 hahaha
This video is B/S watch a video titled The Slavs: The myth of the docile Peasant.
@@mik823 Your life is BS
The rivers look beautiful in a lot of area`s then you get a big factory smoke stacks in the back ground.
They’re all working in the Volvo factory !
Can you please supply your sources of information so I can do my own research?
I can only imagine the upper body strength the vikings had because they had to row their boats across the water ways they traveled.
This video is pure B/S watch a video titled The Slavs: The myth of the docile peasant.
King Harald Hadrada, my direct great grand daddy - if only he lived!!
Cool story bro
This video is pure B/S . Watch a video titled The Slavs: the myth of the docile peasant.
Who told you that?
So that was a lie.
What happened? Valkyrie was named king!
No contemporary cultural resonance or parallels here. 🙃
That's because this video is B/S. Watch a video titled The Slavs: the myth of the docile peasant?
I love this channel, good vid... but: "Baghdad a capitol of the Mediterranean world" Baghdad is 500 miles from the Med as the crow flies and has no Med connected waterways? Just found the statement a bit odd.
2235 - "what happened to last generation of Memelords?"
Ruse is derived from Roi. It is Prussian/French, meaning of The King.
The name Rus' remains not only in names such as Russia and Belarus, but it is also preserved in many place names in the Novgorod and Pskov districts, and it is the origin of the Greek Rōs.[2] Rus' is generally considered to be a borrowing from Finnic Ruotsi ("Sweden").[2][3][4] There are two theories behind the origin of Rus'/Ruotsi, which are not mutually exclusive. It is either derived more directly from OEN rōþer (OWN róðr[5]), which referred to rowing, the fleet levy, etc., or it is derived from this term through Rōþin, an older name for the Swedish coastal region Roslagen.
That's not true. Rus is the root word for Russia and it means red. This guy is a liar. Rus or the Russians are not descended from the Vikings, that is lie. Check out a video titled The Slavs: the Myth of the docile peasant.
I hate that they dealt in slaves.
Slavery was better than having a bunch of homeless drug addicts in the street. Change my mind.
Get over it. Every ancient civilization dealt in slaves. Literally. Africans arent special. Literally last on the list. You think white people didnt suffer slavery? Read a book about the Roman age
That is my opinion, I don't need your hate. I think subjugating others is heinous.
Every civilization has had or was enslaved at some point. My people were enslaved from the 1340s to 1870. Kinda is what it is, sucks but all we can do is try to be better.
This video is pure B/S. Watch a video titled The Slavs: the myth of the docile peasant.
they became black women
TRANS rights!

@@maxvauderk816 watch a video titled The Slavs: the myth of the docile peasant then watch a video titled western man versus Slavic man on a channel called Slavic patriot...
Vikings never plundered nor lived in north America permanently.
They lived there for some time apparently, trading until a scuffle ensued.
@@wyldeyouth yeah I could see that but they were probably living there seasonally cause native Americans say there were no Europeans living in north America but only to trade ... so yee .
This documentary is false history.
Looks like Russian propaganda to me.. Next they'll be saying that all of Scandinavia belongs to Putin. Published February 23rd 2022 no less. Complete horse shit.
So mik, what do you think about this great video?
@@phuckpootube6231 obviously not much? I don't think of this channel and many others like it pure rubbish...they plagiarize each other's work which is why they ignore you when asked to post their research data?? The whole slave story and the origins of the word slave have been manipulated to tell a false narrative.
@@nunyerbidness6417 this isn't Russian propaganda it's Swedish B/S. You tube is full of fake history channels claiming the Slavs are descended from the Vikings, it's not Slavic historians claiming this crap, they are western historians who claim this rubbish....
