This presenter is one of the most intelligent and well informed on this sort of video. Unlike most, she adds value with her comments.

They forgot to leave a white spot in the Roman Empire where Asterix's village was located. 😄

8:35 "what were they doing before 800?" They were there all along. The parts white on this map don't mean that there is nothing there, it just means that little is known and/or that the people there weren't organized/ruled as a country/empire.

Ma’am your knowledge and love for the subject is beautiful to watch!

The Burgundians actually originally lived in Eastern Europe and were an East Germanic tribe, thus related to the Goths. They then migrated to the Rhine, near the city of Worms. There they played a role in the defense against the Huns and are mentioned as a Rhenish population in the Nibelungenlied, an epic poem that was written down in the 13th century but certainly goes back to oral traditions of the 4th and 5th centuries.
In the 5th century, after the defeat against the Huns, the Burgundians were settled by the Romans in what is now Burgundy (France). This is where the region gets its name from.

'Norseman' are also Germanic people (except Finns). And yes, the Burgunder (Burgandians) were also a Germanic tribe.

[strasbourgeois]

The Burgundians and modern Bourgogne are in fact directly related. The Burgundians came from Northern Germany, and during the Fall of Rome, expanded into modern France along with many other Germanic tribes (you may know the Franks, of which France’s name is derived).

[Schandorf-mssm]

For what Scandinavians did before 800 you can look up terms like Nordic Bronze age and also Vendel period, there are some very cool archeological finds from that time.

I have watched a few of these time-elapse videos, and I can say for the most part that they get the overall narrative right (I teach at a college, and I know that you cannot tell the whole story for every single topic).

[rhaedas]

So much we learn of history in school is watered down to lines in a paragraph, if mentioned at all. It's another example of how hard it is to grasp the true scale of things and how a hundred year span that is a blink on this map and at best a footnote in a detailed history book was a whole life for countless people.

4:42 The Cherusci were the group of Germanic tribes that beat the Romans in 9AD in the battle of Teutoburg Forest.
This practically stopped the Roman Empire from advancing any further into Germanic lands.

I love the history. Love the video protocol Stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way

Roman Empire going past 50 million in population was crazy. Such a big drop after the fall.

[JimMilton]

Europe was a mystical place back in ancient times.

[BernhardMauerer-up]

Well its not about numbers only: The Holy Roman Empire (of the German Nation) existed officially from 962 to 1806, spanning almost 850 years. Interestingly, there was no fixed capital city as we know it today. Instead, there was a system of Imperial Palaces (Kaiserpfalzen) - fortified palaces and residences between which the emperor and his court traveled. Some important locations were: Aachen, Frankfurt am Main, Nuremberg, Prague Vienna (from the 15th century under the Habsburgs) The empire was not a centralized state in the modern sense, but rather a complex federation of various territories with different rights and obligations. The emperor was elected by the prince-electors and had to share power with the Imperial Estates.

[robertc]

I could watch this all day. Thanks to the very intelligent presenter!

[stuarthumphrey]

Interesting video as usual, but I love the artwork on your walls. As always, looking forward to the next video

There's so much history in Europe that us Europeans only learn a small part of it in school. Mainly centred on our own country's history. You definitely knew more about what happened around Spain than I ever did. We mostly learned about the conqueror kings of Sweden and the uprisings and stuff
