- Did Dutch Vikings exist? In this video I'm going to focus on the history of the Vikings in the Netherlands. The Netherlands were back then referred to as the Low Countries. The Low Countries were closely located to Scandinavia. The Vikings came from Denmark, Norway and Sweden. How were the Netherlands influenced by the Vikings? There was Rorik of Dorestad who took control over large parts of Frisia (or: Friesland). He was named after the place he conquered: Dorestad. So how did the Vikings influenced these areas? The history of Frisia (Friesland) was heavy influenced by the Vikings. Norsemen culture was definitely present in Friesland. In Friesland Vikings raided and settled.

Dankjewel
@Boer de Wat doe je
Very interesting, I’m of Dutch 🇳🇱 heritage but born and grew up in Sweden 🇸🇪
Cool!
The other way around bro!!
Cheers to both of those countries for being in opposition to the practice of infant male circumcision.
Grandfathers from Sweden and Netherlands. I'm interested in the culture of both and greater Germania.
Being Dutch myself due to my mother and father being from Arnhem Netherlands, I can appreciate my history so much. I am currently living in the USA since 1995, however I think it’s time to come back and live in the Netherlands. I miss a country I barely remember, but I am proud of my heritage. Thank you for the amazing video.
You're welcome. Actually I have a whole playlist about Dutch history:

@Faigornx thank you so much. I’m coming back home hahaha. Hey hit up my email brother. Phendriksen15@gmail.com
That's very rare to find, a fellow patriotic(?) Dutchman.
@@fling-dutchman7842 thank you kindly, I don’t hate the USA or anything, I just long got home. For me it may be silly to say but I long for the old simple European life in the villages or rural parts. Any suggestion would greatly be appreciated.
@@BulldogBS2016 In the Netherlands I think Drenthe is an example of possibilities for rural village life.
As someone who lives in Western Germany I can't tell you enaugh how much I love the Netherlands.
Probably the best country in Europe.
👌🇳🇱
Your one hell of a teacher mate i have ADD and you keep my concentration the hole vids ,,,
I consider that as a great compliment. Thank you!
Excellent!! Thank you very much for sharing with us so many fantastic history. Thumbs up
You are welcome! What kind of history are you most interested in?
Very informative and entertaining, watching this from medellin Colombia.
Thank you Miquel!
very good info that we need

An uncle of my mother spent his life researching the family history of a (at times) very wealthy family from Utrecht and Rhenen area. He came up with the result that the "founder" of that family must have come from Birka in Sweden during the viking age and settled in or near Dorestad. He also said that he ordered his stuff to be brought after him, but those ships were stolen by the Danish King. Fascinating that mainstream history now seems to confirm that. The research of my mother's family was done in the sixties and seventies of last century.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing this, Ronald!
Ronald de Rooij remains of Viking ships were also found near Tiel.. they surely left some ‘footprints’
Im pretty sure we have known of vikings in friesland for a long time.
That is so cool! I love family history so much. It's very interesting! Even better when you find secondary sources that confirm things for you.
It is interesting to here of this, my name is Bobby Friesland, I live and in Texas.
Cool!
.. and blond and 6 ft 5 ? Then probably you are a Texan-Viking ;)
Thank you very much that was awesome! I'm very much looking forward to your Friesian discussion. Reason being is I am a Friesian descent my grandparents came from the Netherlands.
Interesting, thank you for sharing!
Nice video. Greets from West Friesland !
Bedankt!
I really like this new form of videos. You did a very good job illustrating the videos with maps and images. The camera work is cool also. Are you using two camera to film from different angles? It's great to se your chanel evolving, I hope that we gat a nice mixture of videos from your home and from historical places (I bet those are expensive to make). Best of luck.
Thank you so much for this nice compliment Kev! I am indeed using two cameras at once. My DSLR is the main camera and my mini-camcorder (I used till 2018) as a B-roll.
Great glad thats cleared up 👍

I'm from East Anglia (Viking name: Danelaw).....About 15% of the population here speak Dutch (me included). Of the total population I would say 40 to 50% have some Dutch heritage. About 5 to 10% probably have Danish heritage from the Viking days (although that's disputed because the Fris people also took part here).
Its interesting how neither the Dutch nor the Flemish took much interest in our 'common' affairs right across the pond. I think the problem of 'us' as part of 'your' sphere of influence exposes the real lack of unity between the Dutch, the Fris, the Flemish & the Danish. But that's the point of the Viking culture. This rough disunity & mistrust for one another.
The fact that we ended up being English it self is bemusing. In the Middle Ages East Anglia was a peninsula with loads of little islands. Bits of it were far closer to Holland than today. The Fenland was mostly uninhabited windswept marshland. Guess who had the guts to bother settling it... The Desperate Dutch ofcource! So, the Dutch must have also been as crazy as the Vikings. And thats the point!
Thanks for sharing!
I think Dunwich was already in Roman-times trading with Katwijk in West-frisia.
Dunwich and Katwijk (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittenburg) both are drown into the sea.😨
Nice video!
Thanks, Bram.
Geweldig dat je dit soort video's maakt! Je kan op CZcams weinig goede content vinden over de Nederlandse historie van bijvoorbeeld tijdens en voor het Romeinse Rijk (en laat dat juist de periode zijn waar ik het meest in geïnteresseerd ben).
Bedankt! Heb een serie video's van Nederlandse geschiedenis mocht je dit leuk vinden. Romeinse geschiedenis moet ik nog aan toe komen.

Indeed.
Interesting. My father's family is from near Groningen, from at least as far back as the 1600s, and moved here (US) around1900. I'll have tell my son he may be part Viking!
Cool, thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
Many thanks Jack!
Wow! You are very knowledgeable. I am fascinated by your video and highly interested. I recently joined "Ancestry" and as I suspected have Dutch ancestry. Word of mouth by family has it also Viking descent. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for your reply.
Iceland that's exactly what I thought when was watching the video! Thanks for all this info
You are welcome! Thanks for replying.
It shouldn't be surprising. The language spoken in Frisia during the Viking age was very close to the one in Denmark.
Thanks for sharing.
I have ancestry (apparently) from Sweden and Denmark, but also "Germanic Europe" which leads me to believe I've got to have some ancestry from the Frisian coast. Not a lot of info out there about Frisians so this is very helpful
Thanks Andy!
Good video.. I am from Wijk Bij Duurstede (Dorestad), you see alot of Viking related things here. Nice to learn something new about my city!
Thanks for your reply!

My ancestors were Dutch Viking and Switzerland so I became interested in finding more about Dutch Vikings. Thanks for the information.
I love the Vikings tv show anyone else.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Swiss Vikings, what an interesting thought.....
Hallo Stefan. Recentelijk jouw kanaal ontdekt en ben een fan geworden. Ik heb een vraagje over deze video over de Vikingen. Hebben de Vikingen ook hun sporen achtergelaten wat scheepsbouw betreft in de lage landen? Met andere woorden, heeft het volk wat in de tijd van de Vikingen in de lage landen hun ontwerpen gekopieerd? Enig puntje van kritiek trouwens. Beetje jammer dat je niet de legendarische Wickie de Viking vermeld :-)
Wickie had inderdaad genoemd mogen worden. Bedankt voor je bericht. Ik durf niet te vertellen wat betreft de scheepsbouw. Had was pas een paar eeuwen naar de Vikingen dat de Europeanen met hun schepen de wereld gingen over varen...
wickie is a legend. 💪
@@HistoryHustle nee de Nederlandse Vikingen piraten of hoe je ze ook wil noemen waren 1 van de 1ste ook als je gaat bekijken waar het verborgen eiland frysia gaat bekijken wand daar zijn veel overeenkomsten mee
Love you bro! From the Netherlands
Thanks!
My grandfather is from there
Gaaf onderwerp! Leuk dat je ook dit onderwerp bespreekt op ke kanaal ipv de oorlog.( Ik vind die alsnog goed!)

5:56 Dorestad has been rebuild and is now known as Wijk Bij Duurstede. Its 30min bike ride from where I live lol
Yes indeed!
I remember reading somewhere about Frisians who joined the Great Heathen Army under command of Ubba
Ok!
Stefan kun je een video doen over de nederlandse commandos tijdens market garden?

Dang I wish you were my history teacher... Good video! I know you dislike Vikings but you made this very interesting!
Thanks haha. It was an experimental video that did fairly good in the end. I believe you are a student right? What do you study?
@@HistoryHustle Hi, I study International Relations. So I learn about how countries communicate, how organisations like Benelux United Nations NATO EU work, And to do this you have to be quite knowledgeable with history current events etc. Unfortunately, my studies have been put on hold due to Coronavirus, so I had to move back from Belgium because that's where I was originally studying. In the meantime us students have been told to study more about why these organisations were founded and many other historical topics of our choosing. So that's why I am here. 🙂
Thanks for sharing!
Idk man other sources I've seen point to the Dutch being seafaring and raiders before the viking age. So they would be viking as much as other Scandinavian countries.
czcams.com/video/iSDTRRpYcgM/video.html
I'm drawn to Vikings because my mother's side of the family immigrated to the United States back in 1906. So our family was very large up until my parents and my generation that's when everyone spread out but Norwegian culture is very much part of our day to day life. Also.... Vikings set up a lot for the world as far as trade. I love learning anything I can about them
Thanks for this comment. Very interesting to read. So you have Norwegian roots? Does the US have a big Norwegian community as of this day?
@@HistoryHustle The north central US is heavily populated with Scandinavians, heavy on the Norwegian though. When the South Dakota Air Guard was training in Norway, so many had the same names in both AF, they had issues keeping the pilot names straight on the status board.
To further answer your question, my mom's side is Dane/Norwegian. The first Norwegians (my family) came to the US after the Civil War, 1868 to be precise. This coincided with an overpopulation of Norway at the time which caused terrible economic conditions. In the Norway system at the time, only the oldest son got to inherit the farm. The rest of the kids were out of luck.
So with the US opening up the West to settlement with cheap or free land, the poor Norwegians saw this as their only hope to get out of their dead end situation. Life was not easy as they had to carve out farms and towns from the prairie dirt, but they worked hard and were successful.
One thing I noticed while doing genealogy research was how big the Norwegian families were in the 1800's. Having 10 kids was pretty normal but that changed for sure by the 2nd generation born in the US. In some cases, the 1st gen born in the US started the small family trend. I used to think only the Dutch and Catholics had big families but that idea changed. LOL
Lees: vikingen, Noormannen in de Lage Landen. Geschreven door Luit van der Tuuk.
Daarin word uitgebreid beschreven hoe, wie en waar bepaalde "vikingen" zich vestigde. Vooral het Zeeuwse eiland Walcheren was erg populair en werd er flink gerecruteerd in magna frisia.
Interessant!
Hope you will make a video about the Batavian tribe and the Batavian revolt someday wich happened during and because of the Year of the Four Emperors.
Perhaps one day 👍
History with Hilbert has also done some video's about this topic. He mentioned that there is evidence of Frisians being part of the great heathen army. And furthurmore there were Frisians that moved to the area of Wessex in different time periods. Very interesting Frisian history to say the least. Thanks for the video Stefan!
Thanks for the addition. HwH is the place to go for Viking history. He does a great job.
@@HistoryHustle Voor als je meer wilt weten hierover, is hieronder een link voor een boek dat hier verder op ingaat. (Dit boek werd ook gepromoot tijdens de exhibitie in het Fries Museum van 19 oktober 2019 tot 15 maart 2020 wat ook ging over dit onderwerp)

My mother is from Zeeland. Which falls under the old Frisia territory. She's 40% scandinavian with 0 relatives in our ancestors traceable to Scandinavia. Which suggests a structural Scandinavian influence from way back in Zeeland.
@@demammoet That could be possible, in the old Frisian areas (today Friesland,Groningen,North-Holland, South-Holland, Utrecht and Zeeland) Scandinavian DNA segments are commonly found.
@@demammoet that's right. The 'new' Frisians are a conglomeration of the various tribes like the Frisii from the Roman Period and migratory Scandinavians of the fourth century and after.
I checked my DNA and it came out my ancestors where Danish Vikings 82 % i live in the Netherlands , i thougt how did my family came here , in the Netherlands so thats the reason i´m here watching this video .
Thanks for sharing, very interesting!
My first DNA test was a shocker with about 1/3 British Isles and 1% Irish. No Dutch at all. But that set me on a major research project to figure what the explanation might be, and Wow! did I get a surprise!! First, there is no such thing as "Dutch DNA". I've had to counsel many shocked people who get their DNA results and don't see "Dutch" and start screaming the DNA test is crap. The DNA doesn't lie although interpretations can be faulty.
But when you dig into history of northern Europe you start to understand why that is. Northern Europe was a huge mixing bowl of masses of people migrating here and there, plus a huge slave trading market. In fact, I'd say that slave trading was the #1 business prior to the Early Medieval Period. Its quite shocking really, no people in past history have clean hands in slave trade...none at all.!!
There's so much that has happened in northern Europe in the past 2,500 years its really hard to wrap ones brain around the mass of people activity. There were a lot of mass migrations involving hundreds of thousands. Julius Caesar's slaughter of 200,000 people of the Tencteri and Usipete tribes is just one of them. They were migrating out of Germany when Julius encountered them near modern day Kessel. That was only part of the tribes, the fighting age males escaped because they were pillaging the countryside and were gone when Caesar''s legions moved in.
I could go on and on but my fingers won't cooperate. Start digging into history like Romans in north Europe and go from there. You'll be surprised at what you don't know.
Kan je een doen over Twente?
Waarschijnlijk niet, sorry.
This makes me so much more proud and interested din my Dutch heritage than I already was :) my family is from Germany and Netherlands due to fleeing Europe during ww2
Thanks for your reply!
@@HistoryHustle no problem i adore information like this can't wait to watch more of your informational and fun content:)
Great 👍
help, I need to find at least 3 structures from the franks, saxons or frisians in the netherlands. So far i haven't found anything, ive been searching for 3 hours. Are there any structures still avaible that exist?
Can't tell. Sorry
Would it be possible that because of Charlemagne's campaign to Christianize everyone, that the neighbouring Saxons started migrating north into Denmark & if so, would the Angles/Jutes (Danes i suppose) have welcomed them & maybe have them included in future "Viking Raids"? If this was the case, the Danish "Viking Raids" could possibly be seen as the Second influx of Anglo-Saxons into the UK? Great video, by the way !
Thank you and perhaps I'll dive into it in the future somewhere.
Zou u mij de maker van de kaart achter u kunnen vertellen?
The map is made by a German company named "HAACK HERTZBERG".
@@HistoryHustle Bedankt voor de snelle reactie!
Nice map of Late Medieval Europe.
Thanks! I borrowed it from my school. These maps are not in use any more since we have modern technology now. Yet, I find them great to use. For a video and in class.
Yes but the problem is that the world map we use in class is in german
well, there's my name- and our Norwegian(Trondheim & Tromso) mom, so..... This is so cool!
👍👍
Geen Vikings in de Nederlanden?! Ik ben redelijk zeker dat half Francia is leeggeplunderd vanop Walcheren.. om de zaken wat simpel voor te stellen. Die boten krioelden van Heidense Saksen, Franken en Friezen, En Zeeland was lang hun belangrijkste uitvalbasis. Er moet echt meer archeologisch onderzoek gedaan worden op de hoogste delen van Walcheren.
Ga ervoor!

Since the vikings made treaties with locals to raid specific locations would that make them privateers?
Could be yes.
Er staat Friesland of frisia op de Arc the Triomphe. Weet je wanneer en om welke franse overwinning dit gaat?
Not sure... Wellicht om die van Karel de Grote. Of Napoleon, al weet ik dat niet zeker.
@@HistoryHustle Oke.. dacht namelijk dat vanaf de bouw van de Arc the triomphe Friesland al best een tijd geen eigen "land" meer was. Dus best gek om daar mee te pronken?
Fransen hè...
@@dougdimmadome8986 Ik kan het niet met volle zekerheid zeggen dat het waar is maar ik heb een keer ergens gelezen dat Friesland erop staat omdat Napolean een groot fan was van de Friese paarden ras en dat deze paarden ook werden tentoongesteld op de plek waar nu de Arc de Triomph staat. Maar neem de info maar met een korrel zout.
@@Weda01 oke bedankt
What is very intriguing is the fact that before the Vikings invaded Frisia, before Denmark even existed - Magna Frisia (around 500 to 734 AD) was a very large piece of land including what later would become Denmark. The Frisii from whom I am a descendant according to a family tree my family has created using countless documents and books, going back to 400 AD. According to our information sources my ancestors were hired to do all the "dirty" jobs including assassinations, mercenary work and raids / raiding. While the Netherlands do not have "Dutch Vikings, the mentality of the Frisians don't differ much from the Vikings. In 810 the Danish King would invade Frisia.
Quite interesting indeed.
Thanks for your reply!
"Magna Frisia (around 500 to 734 AD) was a very large piece of land including what later would become Denmark" Well, despite having studied history for 25 + years; a period stretching from the time before the latest icecap even melted, to hunter-gathers, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Viking Age up until the 19th century, your comment tells me that I have missed something important so can ask you for PROOF. I am just asking you the same question that I am asking some Africans, some Turks and some Jews, all claiming that they founded Denmark.
Wow, so your family was part of the Frisian Mafia!
traiectum ad Rhenum (doorwaadbare plaats door de Rijn?), Ultrajectum, Mosatrajectum.
?
My father's family was from Leeuwarden, and my family history can be traced back to 1572 (at the Siege of Haarlem). But in terms of DNA, I am connected most closely to London and Manchester. It's fair to conclude that they were Frisians who settled in England. Were they raiders who decided to stay, or actual settlers/traders?
Interesting to read.
My dad is Dutch but Australian born curious if I have any Scandinavia blood in me.
Might very well be :)
The Kingdom of Friesland streched out from the southwest of Denmark to Belgium, so there is a great chance you have Viking blood.
Well,frisians raided towns and islands 200 years before the Vikings,so maybe they can also be considered Vikings?
Mmhmm heel interessant dit🤔🤪
Bedankt
I like your video.
I'm interested in my ancesters and through records I found out my mothers ancesters lived since app 1560 in the village where I live and the oldest known written ancester was born in West Friesland. My fathers ancesters came from Amsterdam (only 20 km from me) and made a sidestep in history to Ter Wolde near Deventer. That was as far as the papertrail went. For a very long time we believed my family name was written down by a Frenche civil servant in 1814 and was related to Ter Wolde. My Aussie cousin got a letter from a man in Clay County Brazil Indiana USA with the same familyname. He claimed the name was from Scandinavian origin. We laughed about it at first...
Then 2 years ago my wife and I did a DNA test with MyHeritage. To both our surprise I was 70% Scandinavian, 10% England and 20% Western Europe (Netherlands/Frisians). My wife's heritage was roughly the same, with a little larger part English and 50% Scandinavian. I'm convinced I'm a descendant of the Vikings. :-). About your suggestion the Vikings never wore horned helmets there might be some dispute, because archeologists have found horned helmets, for instance in Bohuslän (S).
Very interesting to read, Dick. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us.
I believe that there is a possibility that Vikings wore ceremonial helmets that may have had horns or something similar, but going trading or raiding that way? Never! (LOL!) That would have really gotten in the way with the sails of the longships, and doing some smash and grab in foreign lands. Most people seem to blame Richard Wagner for the horned stereotype.
2:46 - "...the raping - I mean raiding..." LOL
Also that...
If I'm not mistaken Zeeland was settled by the Vikings.
Some must have come from Denmark to Holland by land.
Could be, thanks for sharing!
There is a part of Denmark that was or is Friesian. Friesia had a lot of tribes in those day's. The north of Germany was also Friesian, so that your ancestors travelled over land is very likely.
@@freddykhd what my father told me of his mother's side that were Frisan that they came from Oost Frisland Germany some time in the 17 hundreds crossed to Frisland in The Netherlands hence the surname Walburg which is not Dutch.
Laat me raden, je hebt méér kennis dan dat je kunt delen met je studenten en deelt dat nu met de wereld? Ik vind het geweldig om te kijken iig.

I found with my detector on an artificial hill in the north a viking amulet.
That is an awesome finding.
@@HistoryHustle bronze,three inches, two stilistik horses on both sides, with above a rectangular hole to hold it with leathe rope.
Richard wagner was responsible for misrepresenting the viking image with helmets of horns and wings something the west still thinks how vikings looked, henry the fowler some one who himmler thought he was the re incarnation of, interesting upload.
Thank you for your additional information!
It is kinda wrong and right. Odin was always depicted with such a helmet, and Viking shamans wore them too. The normal vikings didn't.
According to dna searches the Dutch have the most Scandinavian dna except for the Scandinavian countries, I myself have 15% Scandinavian dna and 3%finnish. A lot of Dutch people have Scandinavian dna.
👍
Ik kom uit spijkenisse jonguh
Kijk eens aan!
Vikings are pre medieval in scandinavia first of All :)
Second, it is well knows that vikings had activities in friesland.
I did make an episode on Friesland also:
czcams.com/video/gWQov56eO2g/video.html
Norsemen Only Viking when they went raiding "went Viking"
I see.
A Vikingr
They say that Vikings became Norsemen when they became Christian's.
The Vikings also had an elite force, they called "Berseker's".
I read that Ubba recruited Frisians into the Great Heathen Army on his was to England. Is this not true then?
Can't say.
Ubbe kwam dacht ik waarschijnlijk zelfs uit nederland, uit zeeland.
Wel grappig, mijn naam is namelijk eppe dat is een andere versie van ubbe
Christian Europe boycotted trade with pagan Northern Europe. Once the Saxons were Christened the Scandinavians lost their trading parties. Like they say it is all history now. We were just brainwashed by the victors version of history.
Interesting, thanks for the additional information Charles.
So history seems to repeat itself all over again? I've heard that before ;) It would make sense, the viking brutality over exaggerated and their trade and honor code enormously underplayed? Wouldn't surprise me a bit they poked the vikings into anger and so in 'uncontrollable' brutality.
In the example of the Vikings, the "victors" could read and write so its natural their version of events makes it into history. I do not doubt the written accounts of Viking activity although there may be some exaggeration by writers who were not eyewitnesses.
The Frisians were the Dutch Vikings. Today's Frisians have a surprising percentage of Scandinavian DNA.

Ik heb de Theorie dat Rollo Ragnvaldson or Herolf Ganger, onze bekende graaf Gerolf is. Het zou goed kunnen, hij werd leider van de Schelde Vikingen.
Interessant.
Dit verhaal gaat door door tot Zutphen. En omg. Ze gingen aardig land inwaards. .
Klopt ja.
@@HistoryHustle prachtig verhaal . Ons land heeft aardig voor de kiezen gehad .. maar we staan nog
The Swedes joke about their past and the present, which is very complicated right now: Once upon a time we were the fighting Vikings, nowadays we are only the unable Weaklings. (It sounds much more ironic in Swedish)
I see...
obsessed with vikings but im belgian so that's disappointing
Please explain.
You said they sacked Dorestad, never to be rebuilt. Then you continue saying it was located at the present Wijk bij Duurstede. So... What's up with that?
I don't know any of Wijk bij Duurstede's history, but the etymologist deep down in me cries "wiik", perhaps the Dutch "wijken", where whatever rover it's near bends? And Duurstede... Wasn't that a castle or something? And is it me, or are castles most of the times named after place names, rather than it's inhabitants? So Duurstede must have existed back than. Duur, dōr(e)... Stad as in Dutch for city? Am I anywhere close?
I believe Wijk bij Duurstede is located by what was used to be Dorestad. Yet, it isn't located on the exact spot and therefore you can argue Dorestad was never rebuilt.
Only the name changed, not the location.
Now you said during the the 800's while the Saxons were in Germany practice specifically paganism.........
my particular question is
Which Gods were the Saxons worshipping at that time that were supposed to allegedly be pagan???????????????????
Non-christian.
But frisians also went to The British isles when the vikings were the boss over there?
Can't tell really.
Yes one the three Viking armies that invaded England in 865 was commanded by a guy called Ubba. That is very likely a Frisian name, Ubba probably a Latinized version of Ubbe.
My family claim to be decendents of the frisian viking I'm skeptical bt would anyone know our last Name is
Hoeben which originate in the neatherlands I'm sure being blue eyed. blond is irrelevant bt an help would b a grate help:)
Cannot tell by last name. Think a DNA test should be done to discover this.
So Viking raiders never recruited local Frisians? That's what I assume most people think of when it comes to Vikings. The actual fascinating part for me about them was that the Norse were highly urbanized and master ship builders. It should be illegal for barbarians to be that sophisticated.
The Vikings are fascinating indeed. In general they most likely never recruited Frisians. Perhaps it happened on a smaller scale.
Vikings sailed friesian ships.
The Vikings were very skilled craftsman and had, already some sort of Democracy.
I was born in the United States. But family is from England….My last name is from the Netherlands . 🇺🇸 🇳🇱 🏴
Cool 👍
They were not dutch but they were frisian
I see.
Rorik of Dorestad was a cool guy. Maybe he has something to do with Russian Rurik.
Can't say.
There are Friesian coin's found in Russia, so you could be right.
All the vikings went to Frisia { netherlands } look at the size of dutch people!!!!?
😅
And there are no pretty women in Britain, as the Vikings took the beauties with them.....
Fact is that the Friesian's are the largest people on earth, so you are right.
@@freddykhd Not quite. According to Norwegian humourist Kjell Aukrust, the Vikings were small. The average heigth of Norwegian recruits had increased with 0.8 millimeters between 1900 and 2007. Using these measures, and counting backwards, the Vikings had an average heigth of 29 centimeters.....
Maar allemaal leuk maar ik heb een vraag komen wij Nederlanders nou ook van oudsher uit Scandinavië vandaan of niet want ik vraag mij dat nou de hele tijd nou af want ik kan niks daar over op het internet over vinden en toch zijn er DNA onderzoeken geweest en het blijkt dat wij Nederlanders Scandinavische bloed/DNA hebben hier en ik heb ook een DNA test gedaan en ik heb ook Scandinavische bloed en dus welke jaar komt dat nou vandaan hoe kan ik nou en de rest van Nederland Scandinavische bloed/DNA hebben ?????? Ik begrijp het allemaal niet meer want ik kan nooit mijn antwoorden vinden op het internet ik wordt er gek van.
Volgens mij komen de meeste huidige Nederlanders niet uit Scandinavië, maar zeker weten doe ik dat niet. Op dit gebied ben ik verre van een expert.
Ik heb gehoord dat veel nederlanders ool van de pruisen afstammen dus de toenmalige polen.
you forgot the vikings in ghent (my grandfather baraet)
Ghent is Belgium.
As a frisian I'm 70% N-dutch/frisian and 30% scandinavian. What happend ? 🤔🤔
Interesting.
So frustrating... I just wanted information about what the title says...... Vikings in the Netherlands....
Oh i thought bikings.
Sharp ;)
is always tragic to me whenever Viking had to be depicted as cold heart murderers and rapist
when the truth is that they where the complete opposite in a big majority of cases
but hey all my respect to the Netherlands and Frisia for having the courage to keep their pagan believes in the face of the true enemy that hails from the church
Thanks for your reply.
Well, I think my last name is a Dutch one...
👍
Personaly i like the netherlands in the bronz age.
2020 let's us Dutch and Frissians start a second Germanic viking age an era of Celtic Messianic Sophianic rule and unity instead of horrific papel and kingly rule.
I like our king.
Kerel waarom probeer je op die simon wistler te lijken
Leg uit.

Unieke opmerking, krijg meestal Indy Neidell naar mijn hoofd geslingerd.
Was niet negatief bedoeld hoor! Maar viel mij meteen op hoe je je zinnen spreekt
Geen probleem, Pim. Dacht dat het uiterlijk meespeelde. Grappig. Wellicht dat de man me toch onbewust geïnspireerd heeft.
My favorite part of medievel history was always the romans
So sorry to say I don't cover that part much on this channel 🙈
@@HistoryHustle love your channel. Was just answering a question of yours from the video
Nothing like Dutch Vikings 😅
True.
Frisian, you mean...!!! Supposedly, the Frisian & Vikings were on good terms; they traded among each other. Frisii ruled along the North Sea from Belgium well up into Denmark. BTW, the Frisii were discovered by a Roman 12 BC. 400 AD they were not around; floods??? Some Frisii went to Flanders, some to Kent, England. These Frisii in Kent, England, after very many years, went back to Frisia Magna when the Angle/Saxon wars broke out in England. Frisii/Frisian are the indigenous people of the Netherlands. AND the Dutch tried to eradicate the Frisian culture, language, etc. 1955 the Frisian language was declared an OFFICIAL language. STUPID since the Frisian language is like 500 years older than Dutch language. PEACE OUT...!!!
Ok.
Frisians were vikings, they were even mentioned in saga's like Beowulf as fierce fighters. They married Danish vikings and visa versa. You are behind on your facts.
Sagas and facts 🤔
