idk about that. The Danelaw stretched as far south as South End, which I would hardly consider Northern. Also the harrying of the North was done under William the Conquerer a foreign invader, so I fail to see how that would cause cultural tension between Northerners and Southerners. At this time the tension was mainly between Northumbria and Mercia, as you can see with Bede's passive aggressive tone when talking about the region. Also, the Harrying was so far back that it doesn't have an economic impact on today. The economic divide is much more recent, coming from industry being more concentrated in the North (look at a map of iron and coal deposits), meaining it was hit way harder than the South during deindustrialisation (also why opinion of Thatcher is geographically split). That and proximity to the capital are the primary causes for differences between the North and South of England.

But can we soon stop this, if we are trying to be historically correct. The danelaw consisted of danes. Denmark is as flat as pancake, with meadows and mild forrest. There are no mountains or northern lights in Denmark. Its also safe to assume that most if not all viking history in England was done by the danes, while the norwegians had influence on Ireland and the northern isles. It's almost as if the first thing we think about when we think of vikings is large mountains, its just not accurate.

I think it would be of great value to do a video or two regarding Scandinavia from the Roman times and up to just before the Viking Age. For example, you say in the video thst there was a shortage of arable land and yet simultaneously there was a population boom. That can't be sustainable over a long time, so what caused the boom if that's a primary cause of the Danes, Norwegians and Swedes leaving their shores for other places? Iron farming tools? Climate change? The Vikings are a bit like the Bronze Age Sea Peoples. Lots of focus on their migration and attacks, but less so on the contributing factors that led up to it.

The popular depiction of vikings with horned helmets born from 19th century romanticism has largely been dispelled even among people with little knowledge of history. New myths are replacing the old ones however. The hairstyle with shaved sides and a long braid in the middle is a complete invention from The Vikings TV show, which in turn I believe was based on a hairstyle that was popular around the time it began production. If the vikings had highly unusual hair styles it's unlikely this wouldn't have been commented on by outside observers, but there's afaIk not a single source suggesting they did.

Haha true. The shaved sides with blue tattoos and warpaint has become the new horned helmet Viking. Though I kinda like that barbershop Viking look, it’s important to remember that we simply can’t know for sure what they looked like and that you should always take depictions of fictional history with a grain of salt

Just a few years ago they discovered a Viking burial and at the bottom of the mound was the viking along in tiers with his animals, boat, weapons and top of mound was a young woman who was sacrificed for the after life. So Viking human sacrifices happened

@Iron Gamer it depends. Denmark is generally warmer than York, but East Anglia is much warmer than most of Norway for example. But you have a point. Leaving for Britain wasnt really as much about the weather as it was about good farmland

hey, I love your videos, you do a fantastic job doing them. I have a request for either a video, or even just a reply lol. History of Rhodes? I was curious the other day and went lookin for rulers/politicians of Rhodes, and I could barely find _anything_ regarding anyone in charge, except for a few admirals, Memnon, and mention of a General "Ares" who supposedly headed the defense of Rhodes in 305-304 BCE, but absolutely nothing else about the guy, so that's even dubious.

The fact that English and the Scandinavian languages are similar grammaticly has nothing to do with the settling. It is because the languages are related since both English and the Scandinavian languages including Norse, are Germanic languages. It was the loan words that entered the English languaghe from Norse.

Hello King and Generals! Great video and you's know I love all you do. This however, is the 2nd week in a row my name isn't mentioned with the support you receive? Please understand, I'll always support you, you's are my favorite channel but I did lose a little jolly in my hard life... Maybe all the "L" people were forgotten? No matter, you's are still my favorite and I'm not going anywhere...
