The fact that a one man team creates such high quality documentaries for FREE is such an underrated thing and deserves much more recognition.

It’s amazing. He’s not only a great writer and narrator but everything is put together so well. The music always fits, the production always looks incredible. Plus he’s just a great story teller

[matthewbryant]

This documentary just shows you don’t need millions and lots of producers to create something special, absolutely amazing

[joeshowers]

I don’t understand how this man hasn’t been recruited to make feature films. He absolutely kills it every time. Thank you 🙏 for your factual film donations to the world.

[anghellicamakes]

What boggles my mind is that you are a one-man team. Bravo, mate. Well done

[NORTH]

These videos are insane, the effort and the knowledge is inspiring.

[Haha-bjrb]

One of the best channels on YouTube is an understatement. With all the nonsense garbage people make nowadays, this is refreshing, interesting and educational. All of your videos are composed in such a professional manner, you’d think it’s a TV documentary. They should pay you to use these documentaries in schools.. Great channel, looking forward to your next documentary👍🏼‼️

Egil Skallagrimson(Skullcleaver) was the Viking age most famous or infamous berserker. Reportedly fought in the Battle of Brunanburh in the service of King Æthelstan; his brother Þórólfr dies there, for which Egil receives two chests of silver from Æthelstan in compensation. He killed his first at the age of 7, cleaving the 12 year old boys skull with an axe after loosing a game. earning his name skull cleaver. His mother praised him and said he would become a good Viking. Giving him a ship and crew. Interesting man as he also was a poet. One of his poems:
One of the translations to english:

"Thus spake my mother
That for me should they buy
A barque and beauteous oars
To go forth with vikings.
Stand in the stern,
Steer a dear vessel,
Hold course for a haven,
Hew down many foemen."



He got his own Saga. Egil saga.

[prichards]

The best voice for narrating Viking history ever. It's perfect suspense.

Thanks! This is a very small amount for such a wonderful history of the Viking Britain. I am reading Marc Morris' book and enjoy all the well researched and produced documentaries that I can find on the topic. Thanks to the person responsible for the history, videos, music and entire production of this video. It's remarkable. I'm grateful to find you through YouTube and HT and just subscribed to Magellan TV. thank you

[shannonhunt]

I think it's so awesome that you travel the world and show and tell people about all the amazing history that the world has to offer! It amazes me that you do this basically on your own, keep on keeping on man, these videos are so awesome and well made! You should get your own history show for real!

[mikehipps]

Pete never ceases to amaze me with his brilliant work. Fantastic job as always.

One time, when visiting York, we sent our sons, who were quite young, to Viking school. They were taught to scream and yell and to beat their shields. The idea was to strike fear into their enemies and make them wet their pants in fear. Wonderful times.

[fazdoll]

I love the way Peter narrates. He could make even the phone book into an EPIC SAGA.

[michaeljohnston]

This has to be my favourite channel on youtube. The depth of information is extraordinary and must have taken so much time, effort, and passion to put together, and all done by one man!

[lca]

I am impressed after watching The Last Kingdom. They actually got a lot of the plot historically accurate. It's crazy that a lot of this actually happened!

[wickedtexan]

This is by far and away the best history channel on YouTube. It's so nice and refreshing to have a pleasant narrator and peaceful, single shot backgrounds. Too much mass produced history docs rely on smash cuts, poor reenactments, cut with boring, 1 line interview answers.

I know a lot of work goes into these videos. I appreciate your diligence and the quality with which you produce these. Thanks and keep them coming!

[TheJoan]

We need to remember those who’ve gone before us. My grandfathers came from Ireland and England so it’s family history and much appreciated.

Love your vids.
My dad was a professor, & listening to you & knowing how much research must go into these presentations, all I can say is, your artistic talent fairly balances your deep love of finding the origins of modern man.
Gorgeous work.
Thanks so much for letting us into your world sir.
