But it's the one they were always looking for and never could find.

Yeah I seen a lot of people say this. They said Vikings become another show after a while and it’s not historically accurate

Discovered in the ruins of Al-Rastan, an ancient Syrian city, earlier this week, it is measured at 120 square meters (1,300 square feet).

The mosaic is said to be 1,600 years old and depicts mythological figures, and also rare panels depicting the Trojan War.

Give the History of England podcast a listen. David Crowther help this period make sense to me

The show is great. The books by Bernard Cornwell are even better.

Idk everyone seems to be owning you for your dumb reductionist take all over this thread, maybe go hit the books for a couple years yourself

Just for starters:

• William Wallace was a member of the minor nobility, not a commoner.
• Medieval Scotsmen did not wear kilts. Indeed, even the kilt's predecessor, the belted plaid, dates only to the 16th century.
• Edward I did not institute right of the first night in Scotland.
• Isabelle of France was around 10 at the time of William Wallace's execution and didn't marry Edward II until two years later, when she was 12.

I was not under any misconception. You seem to have not learned about this historic fact. You might need to take some courses on feudalism.

Truly clueless comment. Why don’t you go do some independent digging on some subjects and come to the answer yourself.

I see they were quick with covering their tracks after having planned their devious heist on the Nordstream pipeline.

I counter your monk with at least 2 archers to kill him quick before he converts any.

Many times this "peasants" is equipped by themselves and know how fight too. They just not do this full time job.

You are forgetting that Edward I and Patrick McGoohan are/were exactly the same height. They got that right :-).

Those that comprised the fyrd would have been ceorls, free men that owed service as part of their social standing (and according rights and wealth) and as a continuation from earlier 'germanic' society.

That and getting involved in a land war in Asia.

Two hours from me and also this is practically beside Sutton Hoo as well which is an Anglo-Saxon treasure trove and a cool place to visit!

Also you just give some Viking lords land and christianize them to get them to flip to your side and they bring their army with them

Peasants were tenant workers. Being able to live off their lords' land was what they were getting in exchange for the burden of serfdom. Not that it was a fair system by any means, but protection was at most a distant secondary consideration in the "contract" between a peasant and their lord.

Arthur was a legend of the native post roman britons. They fought *against the anglo saxons.
