Around 1886 they came from Norway to USA instructions from queen of England at that time and proceeded to judge in courts in new York which my great grandpa from Norway settled in Yankton South Dakota claimed it he also owned Staten island in new York but immediately sold it to native Americans I believe for only $2 bucks he was a Van Arsdalen but was changed by the magistrate consolate granted by England with coat of arms was changed to Van Osdel..I am his great grandchild his son was born 1910 and my grandpa passed in 1986 in California from cancer rip Dean Wilson Van osdel..his father wrote a book "History of the Northwest" and he was also taught about in public schools in south Dakota and has a statue dedicated to him...
Btw it’s nice seeing my family history yes I am related to the Norwegian monarchy
Fun fact: King Olav V was also a sailor and actually won the gold medal at the Olympics
Helena Rustad Carlsen. Thank you for mentioning this. I thought it was the case but as the narrator didn't say, I thought I might be wrong.
@@ballantynemoyes8019 Being 77, it is possible that my memory fails me, but it WAS King Olav V that was called "The Sailor King". There are also pictures of him ski jumping in Holmenkollen.
There is an anectode about that, can not be confirmed: After one of his jumps, he was approached by a spectator, commenting on his jumping quality, wondering who he was. " I am Crownprince Olav. son of King Haakon VII, and you are?"
Wow. Imagine the Olympics back then man , real hardcore shit back then
King Harald his son also if excellent sailor and has won well into his 70s
And Harald V won a world championship in 1990. He had seven other competitors in his class. One of those was the father of the present Spanish King. It is not a sailor class you can just compete in. You need a boat and a crew about 10-15 people.
What would have been interesting to mention is that, once the Norwegian kingdom was restored in the 20th century, the numbering system was continued from the old Norwegian monarchy. So Haakon VII took that name following Haakon VI from the 14th century, who was the last "proper" king before the Kalmar Union. The following kings continued this, so the current monarch, Harald V takes the numbering after Harald IV from the 12th century.
@groxygarcon1599 yes, that’s right that he’ll become Haakon VIII. The next in line is his daughter Ingrid Alexandra. Norway established absolute primogeniture in 1990, so it’s always the eldest child, not eldest son, that becomes heir apparent.
Were there any names actually duplicated during the Union time to the Norwegian royal names before and after the restoration? (It sounds like the danish kings were mostly named Christian and Frederick, while the Swedish ones (after the Napoleonic wars) were names Carl, Gustav and Oscar.) If not, one could just say that the numbers of the Norwegian kings were uninterrupted all the time.
@@PauxloE Yes, but only Erik III (VII of Denmark, XIII of Sweden) and Hans/Johan (I of Denmark and Norway, II of Sweden). There's also the non-Kalmar Union king Karl, which is called both the II and I of Norway but was the VIII of Sweden. I don't know why Karl is called both I and II because after Norway moved from Denmark-Norway to Sweden-Norway, Carl XIII of Sweden became Karl II of Norway. After that Carls XIV and XV of Sweden were obvious Karl III and IV of Norway. So there are some dual (or even triple) numbered kings but they're not that many.
@frostVerseYT Sorry but you are wrong- It'll be Queen Ingrid Alexandra, and since Norway never have had a reigning queen, it will probably be Ingrid I, or Alexandra I, or even Ingrid Alexander I
Prince Sverre Magnus, will remain as Prince Sverre Magnus
@frostverseyt7814 Håkon will be Håkon 8.
But it's he's daughterwill be Queen, his son will not become a King
Just want to point out that Harald fair hair got HIS name not from saying he wouldnt comb is hair but that he got it from saying he would never CUT it
No, he told the story correctly. Read the Wiki article on it.
@@Fucoc Read the norwegian one, it is the same they taught us at school.
@@HerrBruu Har det, og det står eksplisitt at han hverken kjemmet eller klippet håret i denne perioden. Etter dette kjemmet han håret og ble kjent som den "Hårfagre".
@@Fucoc finner ikke det du skriver, men dette er det som står der: Ifølge et opphavssagn for «Hårfagre»-navnet, gjengitt blant annet i Heimskringla, lot Harald håret gro fra han bestemte seg til å bli Norges konge til målet var nådd.
Uansett så er det jeg reagerer på er at de ikke nevnte klippingen av hår.
Thea Sørensen whelp you could say this thread got kinda hairy
Ah, yes the trilogy is completed...
Harald was the biggest simp of his time, he literally conquered a nation to get a girl. And guess what? He did get the girl!
**It's a meme don't take it seriously, thanks**
Definitely a chad move
sounds like a good casus belli, if u ask me
I though u only a simp if u dont get the girl XD
He also ended up killing her Dad for that reason.

In Norway, the 400 or so years under Danish rule, is commonly known as 400-årsnatten (The Night of 400 Years).
It is also worth mentioning that Haakon VII refused to take the throne solely by the encouragement of the Norwegian parliament, and demanded a referendum, to make sure he wouldn't be the parliament's king, but took the throne by the people's popular vote.
You forgot to mention that the Danish Crown Prince Christian Frederik (later King Christian VIII of Denmark) briefly was king of Norway for a few short months in 1814, before Norway was forced into the personal union with Sweden.
It's also worth mentioning that the name 400-års natten was coined by Henrik Ibsen, but it was only meant ironically. The irony was lost on most Norwegians, and today many people think that the union between the countries was somehow bad for Norway. It wasn't.
@@gustav331 it was..... it was not a union it was denmark ruling norway
@@gustav331 the norwegian written language disapared, the norwegian ruling class and nobility disapered and were replaced by foreign danes who did not have norwegian intrests but would rather exploint norwrgian resources to enrich denmark and norwegisn soveignity disapared. The union was devastating for the nationstate and culture of Norway. Denmark dragged norway into a ton of wars they could not win and Sweden kept taking land from norway. To make it worse the danish kings keept using norwegian possessions as bargening chips; the atlantic island to the scottish, trading rights to the hansatic, eastern territories to sweden. All this devasted norway. So what good are you refering to?
@@eirikbrattsti "the norwegian written language disapared" ….. What is that excactly? : People around viken, were Danes... and then you got weird dialects on the west side.
That's why you are called a fjellabe
The black death (plague) destroyed Norway in a more conceivable way than you can think of.
You really need an update
13:05 he mention it
and with that, the Scandinavian monarch set is complete.
Not really
Finland was part of Sweden for 400+ years this county this isn't mentioned
(Frederick Charles of Hesse) was king in 1918
Iceland because part of Denmark and before 1380 part of Norway
was a seperate kingdom (Kristján I) 1918-1944
@@JWPemperor czcams.com/video/gxqnx6zCJh4/video.html
Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are all considered to be apart of Scandinavia by some. But I am glad that Norway is here :)
@@JWPemperor Neither of those countries are part of Scandinavia
@@SparrowValentine The only countries in Scandinavia is Denmark, Norway, Sweden. Sometimes also Finland, Iceland, Faroe Islands and Åland Islands. You may be thinking Nordic countries were Estonia is sometimes considered a member, but I don't think they officially are.
A close relative carried out genealogy research on our family and was able to trace us back all the way to Sven Tveskägg. Super cool to see this video, thanks a lot!
I was researching my Grandmother's Mary (maime) MacLeod's heritage recently.
It now seems she is descendant of "Godred" Crovan son of Harald "The Fairhair" son "Old" Ivar King in Hebrides, son of Olaf Cuaran (d. 981), King of Dublin & York.
I guess this blood-line continues all the way back to Haroald The Black" of Iceland, (grandson) of "Ragnarr Lothbrok" ..
Just wanted to help non-Norwegian speakers on the pronunciation of Haakon, as it should be very easy, especially for English speakers. In Norwegian, the fact that there are two As, changed the pronunciation. In modern Norwegian, we use the letter Å for this. So if the name was written like Hakon, with one A, it would sound similar to how it is said in the video. But since it has two As, it should be pronounced like HAWK(on) in English. Håkon -> Hawkon.
Have a nice day!
Isn't there a fairy tale, in Norway, about how he was kidnapped as a baby by monsters, and later rescued by a pair of skiers?
(I remember hearing something about that when Norway last hosted the winter Olympics.)
@@grantorino2325 Sounds like the great civil war era when the current monarch is murdered, two of his loyal soldiers must escape with the two-year-old Haakon Haakonsson, heir to the throne. With half the kingdom looking to kill the young king, the brave warriors risk life and limb to shepherd him across treacherous snowy mountains to claim his rightful place on the Norwegian throne. No fairies or monster though, well at least not litteral. There is a movie based on it Birkebeinerne(The last King)
More like Hawkoon
@@mism847 Did you just call me a "koon"?
@@hakonchr16 Ja. You got a problem with that??
"The claim is s p o t t y"
Gosh imagine if it was literally spotty
Pretty hard,honestly
Kinda skipped over Olaf I Tryggvason there. He did a bunch of the work in christening Norway, and he founded Trondheim/Nidaros. He is recognised as one of the most centrale and infuential kings of Norway, and there is a large statue on a pedestal of him in the middle of Trondheim Squares
It's been a while since I read Heimskringla (was in the middle of Olaf II's reign I believe), but I have a strong feeling the narrator was mixing up Olaf Tryggvason and Olaf the Saint, combining the two in a sense. Olaf Tryggvason is the king credited for bringing Christianity to Norway (in a very bloody way) and the most 'Hollywood adaptable' king of Norway, having had a very legendary road to becoming king, then dying (or not dying) in the largest Scandinavian naval battle after just 5 years as king.
Historians today believe the amount he actually did to Christianise norway was greatly exaggerated and so was several of his feats as a king supposedly. Plus he had the arguably weakest claim to the throne of any of the historic norwegian kings.
Imagine asking your crush out on a date, only to be told that she’ll only go out with you once you take over the country...
Couldn't he have found a girl would would marry him because she liked his hair? That would have saved him a lot of work.
Thank you so much for this. I'm not Norwegian but I have been obsessed with Norway for a long time and have wanted this video so badly. Great job.
:D
Video suggestion: My favorite monarch from every European monarchy
You missed the part about where Norway has gone absolute primogeniture. CP Haakon's daughter will be the first Queen of Norway's current generation and the first Queen since what, the Kalmar Union? I would have put that in the story.
yup
Not sure why it wasn't mentioned, but another major factor in making Prince Carl of Denmark- King of Norway in 1905, was because his wife Princess Maud, was the daughter of the King of Great Britain at the time. King Edward VII.
Very interresting. Even though I'm Norwegian, I'm a bit ashamed to say there was a lot here I didn't know.
My dad's name was Olaf. His parents were both Norwegian who met in the US after coming through Ellis Island. I learned a lot about this, too.
Most Norwegians don't. It's not really that important anymore, as the king doesn't really decide any major things in politics
@@MarkFilipAnthony It's still their history and should know it.
@@mtngrl5859 Im sure for those who study history in Norway you can specialise in Norwegian royalty history, but its never been an important part of the education system
Samma her....
I have been waiting for this forever!
Worth mentioning that after Crown Prince Haakon, Princess Ingrid Alexandra is in line :)
Yeah, I just wanted to comment that. It's kind of cool if we get a queen in the future
One Day
Won't she be the first qeen of Norway or am I wrong?
@@emilangen1076 Queen Margaret the first of Denmark is technically the first Queen of Norway.
@@emilangen1076 First queen since the Kalmar Union.
"selfproclaimed clairvoyant Princess Märtha" ahahahahhaha. yes she is, and she's absolutely nuts
Seriously?!? 😂
@@jean-francoisdaignault9612 Oh yeah, she's off her rocker. Märtha is kinda considered the outcast of the Norwegian Royal family too. She was married to Ari Behn (R.I.P) for the longest time, but now she's dating Durek Verrett, an American shaman. He claims he can cure cancer just by touching people, so its kinda this whole thing... ahahaha
@@matsmagnussen Oh that's sad... sounds like she's been bamboozled...
When Norway changed the royal succession from oldest son to oldest child, they didn't include her, otherwise she would be crown princess.
Thank you. I have been waiting for this
Good work! First person of non nordic background who can say
Cnut. Just shows commitment
Nice! I have been waiting for this for a long ass time!
Perfect timing with the release of Assassins Creed Valhalla trailer. Even confirms you play as a Norwegian Viking. Hopefully this video will get some nice viewership
Thank you for these charts. They help with my own genealogy with the part that is connected to the kings of Britain.
You all really made things easier.
right now i am adding in more cousin inlaws
actually from my line- all Scandinavian kings and Russian kings are cousin in-laws.
Russian might be direct cousins though idk have to see diff researches and do more research.
@@nickdixom543 it's a safe guess because European royalty is *royally* inbred
FINALLY! the one country we NEEDED. wikipedia hurts my head so much to look at so i was just stuck with the relatives of Charles and Harald Hardrada
Just in time for Syttende Mai, Norwegian Constitution Day! Tusen takk.
Thanks again it's always so informational and interesting
Yay, Faroe Islands get a mention. Thank you, Sverri/Sverre/Sverrir! :)
yo dope, i was lookin for this last night
Cool!
I think it looks more royal when we see painted versions of the monarchs, and not pictures, that slowly starting to emerge in the early 1900s
Great vlog! Greetings from Norway!
Loved this!
Waiting the Dollar getting cheaper to by the "posters" that I've been wanting for a long time !!
We just got our DNA back from ancestory and are happy to find out thatt my family are 33rd direct decendents of king Harald and our names will be added to the decendent family tree with a complimentary plaque which I had no idea about. It's pretty cool seeing as I'm an Aussie and my mum was adopted which started all this.
All Norwegian people descend from the Viking kings💪🇳🇴
Sorry to burst ur bubble, but its statistically impossible for any1 with just 1 drop of European blood in their veins to NOT be descendent from royalty. As I recall, it becomes highly likely around 10-12 generations back and a certainty by 20 generations. Tho I could remember the generations incorrectly, its been a while, since I read the study.
Yes, the family genome tree doesn't lie.
aaand Norway is a few deaths away from another Personal Union with Denmark
I'd love to buy this chart! But it's not delivered to my country ...

So why do they call King Knut "Canute"? Both old versions, english and norse, write it as Cnut. Where does the extra A come from?
In Latin, Knud/Knut is usually spelt Canutus, so it might have been re-borrowed into English as such. In Latin and many other languages, /kn/ at the beginning of words is considered difficult, which is why the "Canutus" got a svarabhakti-vowel (an inserted vowel which originally wasn't there, usually to ease pronunciation). In English, they pronounced the in "knife" and "knight" into the 1700's, but the /k/ was gradually dropped. In contemporary English, going back to saying "Cnut" without the A would be considered difficult by the speakers themselves.
I've heard of some Scandinavians named Knut who took the name "Newt" when then moved to America in the early 1900's. For even though it is a different name of a different origin, this is probably how "Cnut" would have been pronounced had it evolved independently in English without Latin influence.
Loved the video
Is there a method behind decided who gets a picture and who doesn't? I would assume some without is to save space, but what about Saint Olaf, who was discussed quite a bit?
Can you do the same family tree for Assad dynasty of Syria and Hashemite dynasty of Jordan?

@@UsefulCharts Thanks a lot :)
One small fun fact 2 years after this videos publication. Most of the elite in the city of Bergen still has German/Dutch names
It would be fun for you to connect House of Munso and Fairhair with the Yngling in a long, convoluted, and most probably mythological family tree.
Why do you english speakers call him Harald hardrada but translate all the other nicknames. Harald hardrada means Harald the tyrant or more literaly Harald hard ruler that's better than mumbling some thing. Like how you call harfagri fair hair.
Harald Hårfagre
Harald Hardråde
Harald Blåtann
The 3 biggest Haralds, all with an Å.
Interesting question.
Also, for a better pronunciation, Hardråde can be split into two words, as it would be in English. Hard (means the same as in english) and Råde (means rule). Hard you can pronounce the same as in English, but Råde has an Å, so you can't pronounce it as if it had an A. So it would be pronounced like RAW(de). Hardråde -> hard rawde.
@@MetalGamer666 I think the meaning is more important than the pronunciation. Hardråde is the modern norse spelling but the letter å is a relatively new thing and in old norse you would spell his name Haldr Harðráði.
In this case I think it might be because the nickname is also the House Name (essentially his family name as we would see it today) and "House of the Tyrant" wouldn't look good in the history books.
@@hannesproductions4302 Not Haldr, but Haraldr. And Harđrádi is basically the same as in modern Icelandic.
But my point was just that it should be easy for an English speaker to pronounce it more like Norwegian if they knew how the Å sounds like.
I think it’s be cool if he did something like his rothschilds video with maybe the DuPont family or the bush family. And perhaps maybe something on the longest family tree (Confucius) if it’s not been done already
Good work but I like the way Matt actually shows the lines way back to the older generations if he claims there is a connection.
As a Norwegian, I am very happy with this presentation.
Ofc I have one or two points I disagree on, but this was very good and also "nice". You were kind to us.
The latter part: Haakon did a few things as King. When the president of the parliament was in doubt who he should ask the king to make a government, the king said in 1928: The largest party. I am also the king of the communists. (They had been, but were no longer communists), anyhow, it is nice. And then 10th and 11th of April 1940, when he first refused to make a deal, and then also refused to let the prime minister resign. The last one was probably not legal, but it became something to make a film about.
(The reason was that Quisling had also made his govournment. And if a 3rd govournment was to be declared it could only confuse, Better to keep the old flawed one, than to make people think Quisling and the new one are both new governments
Sry, I have now been rambling.. but it is not very bad. I just let it be there. American 25 blood alchohol. I think.
Hi, i like how your charts look, and how often you post them. How exactly do you make them? Do you use some specific software or an online app or do you just simply do it in photoshop or other image editing software? I would have have great personal benefit for knowing how to make some. I currently use MS Paint, but obviously it isn't that great. Thanks
Check my behind the scenes playlist. I have a tutorial.
Having Norwegian friends and having visited the country a few times over the years, I know that King Olav V was well-liked by the Norwegian people and would sometimes be seen out and about without the security and entourage normally accompanying a king. When someone asked him if he wasn't concerned about his safety, he is reported to have replied, "I'm not on my own, I have four million bodyguards (the population of the country at the time)"
Can you do a video about the dacians?
Very interesting video!!!!!
How you make these I want to make of my family please help.
Perfect 👌

So from 1200 and after is there noone thats king is related to the first king harald fairhair? Im a little confused
King Eric Bloodaxe, is an interesting name. How did he get it? Actually I just did some research on Bloodaxe, since beginning this thread.
after the Battle of Eddington, Alfred wasn't just king of Wessex, he ruled all 'exes, Kent and half of Mercia. He was king of the English parts of Britain, and while Guthrum was still alive he held suzerainty over Guthrum's Kingdom in East Anglia and the Home Counties.
Magnus VI (the lawmender) is the best king Norway has ever had, of course also taking into account the filthy Glücksburger inbred that now holds this title. Magnus decreed by law that every man able should brew beer for Yule, and was to make sure he had enough for himself and his household for the 21 day celebration. A real king!
When did the word, "Viking" come into being? I have watch many episodes of the Vikings, but don't know the episode when it was first used.
Please Greek Monarchs Family Tree next!!
At 4:45, please someone tell me I’m not the only one who was overcome with the irresistible urge to watch a Golden Girls episode just to hear a Rose story.
I'm Norwegian and at school we were all tasked with making a short summary of a Norwegian king. I got Magnus II (which they completely skipped in this video). You might have noticed that a lot of these kings did a lot of stuff in their reign. Well, my king ruled for three years and didn't to anything exiting. It's a possibility that he joined a raiding as a child and maybe there a possiblity that he might have helped a few ships from Norway to Wales to get rid of a Duke. He did most likely tho help his father in a battle, but a small one. He also shared most of his rule with his brother in a friendly rule. Then to top his boring rule of, he died of infected grain in his bread. Yay, how exciting....
No one asked. I know
@@jeandehuit5385 Are you Scandinavian???? I didn't know he almost skipped him. Makes it a suprise we even know he existed
@@jeandehuit5385 Same, sometimes I sit on wikipedia for so long. I'm from Norway but I have gotten used to a lot of people from other countries not knowing what it is.
Harold II of England lost to William the Bastard due to a feint that broke Harold's formation. He had warned is commanders about this tactic because he'd seen William use it in France; but the troops didn't know and broke formation to chase the feint (to be wiped out by cavalry). He lost a third of his force, and was already outnumbered, so it was only a matter of time before they were overwhelmed. Also, if the Earls of the North had agreed to come south with him, William would've been driven back across the channel easily. I reckon it was their disloyalty to their king that caused William to later 'harry the north' killing half the population and also salting and laying waste to all (most) productive land (it took centuries for the north to recover, the people there still hate William for it today). William didn't like the idea that they might one day do the same to him i reckon.
Harold's problem was, that Edward had left the succession in disarray, promising the throne to both William and Harold, and the nobles were divided according to selfinterest and between following the blood claim of William or the ancient rite of electing a new king. Harold got enough to back him for a hurried coronation, but he had no time to even start securing his reign or bringing in his opponents.
But yeah, between the nobles refusing to back a man they saw as a usurper rather than a king, the opportunistic attack of Harald Hardrada and his Norwegian forces and William's quick reaction to get to England and take the throne, he had been promised, Harold didnt stand much chance against a larger and far better trained force with his already exhausted soldiers. Likely, even if his soldiers had heard and understood about William's feint, Harold would have lost in the end through attrition of his fatigued troops.
Yay , you listened :DDD
It's funny that Harald Hardradas story sort of mirrored the one of Harald Fairhair. During his service at the court of Yaroslav the Wise of Kievan Rus' he apparently fell in love with one of Yaroslavs daughters, Elisaveta (Elisiv as she was called in Norway) but was denied the marriage untill he becomes a king of his own. So after serving in Byzantin court and gaining enough fame and army he conquered the kingdom back and actually married her.
How do you transition the Norwegian royals today to the ones that left in the late 1800s? I'm a direct descendant to the royal Van Arsdale aka Van Osdel of Norway currently in the u.s. What about 1886-1910? He left Norway and bought Yankton South Dakota
Hey do one "Who would be the Emperor of Brazil today" please.
Love your vids btw
Did it a few months ago. Check the uploads.
I wonder how this guy made this whole chart literally
I believe he has a video on it.
My grandmother did a genealogy with the help of friend. My grandma's family tree extends all the way to 100 AD. One of my great times 10 times choose a number grandfather's was King of Norway. I would have to look back through the family tree which we have a printed copy of to see what the name is.
As for my grandfather in the same marriage. His family name changed a generation or two before he was born. From what I'm told my grandfather's family was a part of the fires tribe in Canada. His family was a part of a revolution that took place in Canada that ultimately resulted in his family being kicked out of Canada. At some point the family name changed and based on my family name I think it has French influence.
I hope to hear from you more brother
Regardless of your feelings on (constitutional) monarchy, you at least have to respect Olav V for meeting directly with his people and also temporarily giving up his special transportation given to him as King during the 1973 Oil Crisis
Eric Bloodaxe has a very interesting story
You should do a remake of the Danish monarchs because now we have the North/East European royal family tree.
YES! FINALLY
Please do a Majapahit/Srivijaya monarch family tree. That would be great
Hi usefulcharts would you make a video about what if Princess Louise became Queen of Norway and Sweden instead of Oscar II?😊
Olav V is actually a Olympic Champion in Sailing!
This is probably too deep into thinking, but you ever think about how the very first monarchs and kings of human history got their start? I mean, you have centuries of humans just accepting that some dude came in and declared themselves king, pharaoh, ruler, etc after a war or something.....and that's it? No one ever thought to say, "no, Larry is king now." If you think about it, royalty isn't really royalty, they're just descendants of people who won a fight a long time ago and declared themselves ruler, and no one questioned it.....sigh, I need to get off CZcams LOL
