The Animated History of Denmark | Part 1

#Denmark #History #Suibhne

WATCH

Denmark. Once the centre of the Viking world. From their homeland stretching from Scania to Jutland, and the Kattegat Strait in between, they became rulers of the Baltic sea.

The Danes were the most powerful and most active of the Vikings, plundering most of the known world before disappearing on their longships back to their northern home. But plunder soon was not enough, and they turned their eyes to conquest, carving out the Danelaw in northern England as well as settlements in Ireland, France and subjugating Norway.

But out of the once feared Viking state, a new crusading force would emerge, but their control of northern waters would not change.

This is in my opinion you best video yet.
The animation is smooth and the music in the background music fits perfectly to the topic.
This video really fascinated me!

You almost had it, but Gorm the Old, and Harrald Bluetooth, had their Capital in Jelling in Jutland, where Gorm the Old is buried and Harrald put up the famous runestones, Jellingestenene, to honour his father, at declare the conquring of Denmark.
But they did build a lot of cityes and castles all over the land.
