Very good docu, and hello from Norway
Harald Hardrada truly embodied the spirit of the Vikings ⚔. From battles across Europe to his final stand at Stamford Bridge, this documentary captures the legend of the last great Viking king.
I love ur story,..
Came looking for background noise, stayed and watched instead.
The best voice of all
Why do you put pictures of snowy mountains in the film. Ringerike and southern Norway does not look like that at all! It is a landscape of crop fields, rivers lakes and some woody hills. Please this is often done to create the backstory of the cold and freezing Vikings. He was actually of royal blood, the half brother of Saint Olaf.
Certainly changed histories course. Didn't the forces of godwinson only rout because he was killed?
Bautista really did what few wrestlers could—he broke out of the typecast.
Brits will never understand the vikings
More vikings & saxons needed in your playlist but good videos as always.
Harald was the Last Viking indeed
Goodnight boyz
The last vikings where Arnulf of Denmark who came to the aid of Normandie against the french and Blot-Sven the last pagan king of Sweden.
Thanks for this thorough work ! May I draw your attention to a 3 book novella about Harald Hardrada. It's written by the german Author Ulf Schiewe and it's called "Herrscher des Nordens Trilogie" with the books "Thor's Hammer", Odin's Blutraben and "Die letzte Schlacht".. All books are also available as audiobooks. As far as I know, there's unfortunately no english translation yet. Publisher is Droemer-Kaur Verlag
Totally love the manually composed music and original art, elevates the whole documentary experience
Very nice historical video about Harald Hardrada
He needs a movie done on him. From Norway to the Byzantine empire. So much story
