Favourite word: ‘absolutely’

What was the book she was reading from? Id like to know so I can purchase a copy. I find history very intreaguing. 💯👍

Loved the show and noticed on the top left side of the tennis court there is marked out on the grass court a very large circle that has like another circle within it with like small joints in the cross, shaped  lines in like a the points of North, East,  South, West at time 23:14 for a short period which you can clearly see it marked out.

Superb video and info! Thank you!

Thanks for this video, very interesting. Always enjoy your documentaries. Just finished Henry V btw - excellent!

4:00 yes, me too. They convinced them it was a barrier to more raids. Lying, possibly? Or they broke some unknown bond of unity, like tidings. Intimidation is an art, not just bullying. I have armor. You have stuff, and I am really sick of pickled fish.

Not enough people listen these days... They would rather judge with assumptions 😅 turns out this guy is correct guys 🎉 look into things before discerning them

The presence of burials with warrior gear and grave goods suggests that the Vikings had a nuanced social hierarchy, where status was tied to warfare and conquest. This detail breaks the stereotype of Vikings as mere savages; they were complex, with customs and rituals that echoed their values. The political use of burials, especially on Anglo-Saxon royal sites, feels like a declaration of conquest — a way of saying, "We’re not just here to visit; we’re here to stay."

Additionally, it’s fascinating to consider the blend of cultures that resulted from these invasions. The infusion of Scandinavian customs into English society, from place names to artifacts, implies a far deeper integration than simple occupation. It’s easy to see this as an early form of globalization, with cultural exchange happening amidst chaos and conflict. King Alfred’s peace treaty with the Vikings wasn’t just about halting wars; it was about acknowledging a new, shared reality where both cultures had to coexist, paving the way for a uniquely hybrid English identity.

This happened in my last life before

21:13 How do you confirm this when so many Saint's/Martyrs bones were taken from churches by the "Church of England" people and desecrated?

BBC called 📱,be there on Monday!  🧐

I love shows like this!!! I'm an American who uploaded my DNA to the ancient DNA site. They matched me to Chedder Man (6500 BC) in Southern England and of course, many Vikings!

Do you mean Anglo saxon England?

Awesome show.
I'm a Howard so East Anglia is of special interest to me.  LONG history there.
Thank you Dan and everyone.
