The vikings were the *first* europeans to settle the americas

Great job Vologda! Love the map projection!

[KathyCarCamps]

Awesome!!! I would love to see the same idea put to Viking settlements in England and Ireland!

So, where do you get your information and how do you manage to do all the borders so accurate?
Amazing video btw

[eyuin]

Are you going to continue the history of the world series?

[AleksIsSoBASED]

Great video, i didnt realize my region on Trønderlag had so much history, and i definitely didnt know my home town was once its own Realm!

[TheGilliams]

I especially like that legendary-historical group of semi-existed kings including Ingvar the High, Enund the Road, Harold Battle Teeth, Hrerik the Ring Trowther, Olof the Brash, Skjold son of Odin, Beowulf and Frodo III. Wuh, what a hell of a time!

Incredibly detailed map! Though Smålandia should probably just be called Möre or something like that. The term Småland was first used in the middle ages as far as I know.

How do you get information about all of the borders and those little countries and states?...amazing.

Um, where was Cnut's North Sea empire?
and was not England part of the Vikings? England was invaded & settled by the Jutes and Angles from Denmark, and then a second wave from Denmark invaded again and settled in the Danelaw, then a 3rd group - Cnut; and finally the norsemen from Normandy in 1066,

I wish you showed the british isles, iceland, greenland, and canada

I don't really understand where you get this about the Jelling dynasty ruling Uppsala, parts of Finland and northern Sweden during basically the entire Vendel period and Viking age from? The Jelling dynasty didn't even exist before the 900s. I can't find any information on this. Seems quite unlikely.

[joshmiller]

Is the kingdom of Gothis & Ostrogithis at 450-500CE related to the Goths that invaded the Roman Empire & migrated to Spain & Italy ?

[Soobscoop]

1:42 i did not know that Norway owned Denmark at one point

[PaganKids]

Since there is a large correlation between Germanic paganism (the legends) and the Viking Age, do you have any videos on the immigration patterns of pre-Christianized Saxon tribes and the rise and all of all that?

[NeukiMGA]

what program are you using for the maps?

[dasarath]

what about the other finnic populations? they were pretty important during the viking age

[SxVaNm]

Denmark used to be the homeland of angles, Saxons and jutes. They were displaced by the Danes, and the remainder probably went to settle with their Anglo-Saxon brothers in Britain.

I have a feeling the so called "berserkers" were nothing but confused vikings who'd eaten some weird shrooms from Vinland.
