Viking Lads on Tour! #history #ancienthistory #vikings #istanbul

How the Viking Harald Hadrada, leader of the Varangian guad, escaped from Constantinople and sailed back to Europe where he became king of Norway, and nearly king of Denmark and England too! This story comes from Snorri's Heimskringla and should be taken with a pinch of salt!

I hope at some point you will take a closer look at switzerland, and the Helvetii. Would love to see my countries roots analysed/presented by you!

The knowledge and incite this gentleman provides in his video is top notch. I’m a Hindu and I relish watching your video because I have an interest in pagan religions around the world it’s something of a hobby of mine. There isn’t much information out there except you and few others. And apologies for the mean comments on behalf of my countrymen

Then comes to England and gets done by Harold Godwinson - BOSH

Not Denmark, Norway, Harald Sigurdson (hadrada) became and was King of Norway sadly he died in the year 1066 on the battle of Stanford bridge

If only Harald had succeeded in taking the English throne. Britain would be closer the Scandinavian and not France.

It is great you are promoting Tourism in Turkey. The underground churches and dwelling of Göreme are amazing.

[Jabberstax]

It's honestly amazing to learn the extent to which that Vikings shaped European history. From Britain to Normandy, Sicily to Ukraine and Constantinople to the Holy Land.

Great interview with Gavin. I would love if you became a contributor to his network

[liammeech]

Longest time I've ever seen anyone in Turkey go without being haggled.

[tadficuscactus]

We need to take that place back some time. Take it back for Europe.

[hjorth]

Cool! One of my relatives is there right now.
