Thank you! Glad to have you with us!
Well done! Ivar or Imar is a fascinating Norse Sea King. Very opportunistic and brave. Opportunistic in the sense that because Ireland didn't have hard cash wealth that England did as far as large quantities of coinage (silver & gold). Ivar & the Vikings did the age old custom like Caesar did in Gaul just sell the people! The Norse turned Dublin into a large slave trading town.
Just got back from Dublin. Saw a lot about how the Vikings settled there
I look forward to when I can get across there!
Long live the Ui Imair 🐦⬛
Glad you've enjoyed the episode!
Great presentation! Very informative. At some point in future, would be very interested in your analysis of the Norsemen who mixed with the Gaels in Wester.n Scotland and the Hebrides, and the emergence of warlord Somerled and the various Scottish clans who descended from him.
I'll have to do some research at some point as I don't know that much about, but I'm sure I'll come to it in the future.
@@AlexIlesUK Thanks Alex. It is quite an interesting history. Somerled (1113-1164) has been established as being of Norse genetic (y chromosome) origin. His descendants became Lords of the Isles. He is father of the Clan MacDonald, Clan MacDougall and several other septs.
@@AlexIlesUK Hi again Alex. A really good book on Somerled, the Ui Imaar, et al is "Viking Kings of Britain and lreland" by Claire Downham, published in 2008
My fathers side of the family are direct descendents of Ímair ( Uí Ímair ) , the Viking King of Dublin and Northumbria. McCaffrey means son of Gofraidh , who is Ímairs father. He sailed to Scotland to assist his father (Gofraidh) in battle and help his brother (Halfdan) raid Dumbarton Rock. My mothers side of the family are clan Campbell of Lothiann in Scotland. They were one of the biggest clans in Scotland and probably the most hated. They are infamous for deceiving and murdering an abnormally large amount of members of the clan MacDonald in the middle of the night. They ruled most of SW Scotland when Ímair raided Dumbarton Rock. And one of the Campbells (female) lived in Dumbarton Castle when the raid occurred. So my fathers family raided Dumbarton Castle while my mothers family lived there. And 1,110 years later my parents got married. Go figure.
It's always good to overcome family disputes!! Amazing story and thanks for sharing it!
like the video but having that actors face plastered large behind you does nothing for the video. We want maps large panning across the kingdoms. Maps and boundaries are super important for gaining understandings of a hugely territorial time.
Thanks for the feedback, it's good to know what people think. I did it as most people know the character over the history.
@@AlexIlesUK thanks
Ivar**
Hi JarlSelby, yes I'm sorry, I only found out the Irish Imar was pronounced Ivar after I filmed it, I'm going to put a note on the video and I'm sorry about that. Best wishes,
Alex

Class! Good to hear!
I love your content, but please focus on pictures and maps instead of yourself. thx
Thank you for your feedback. It's interesting to hear . It will be something I can look at in the future but there's a couple of reasons why I have not done it for this season. Glad to hear you enjoy the content.
Imar King of Dublin and Ivar the boneless are not the same person.
Could you share your source please?
@AlexIlesUK there is no definitive source to say for certain that Imar king of Dublin is Ivar the boneless.
Is there a definitive source to say they are not?
Rubbish
Sorry you don't like it. Have a nice day.
@@AlexIlesUK I’d like to see him try produce a video off this quality , keep it up man
Thank you Joel, don't worry I don't mind if people don't like what I make, it may not be for everyone but for those who enjoy it, I'm very glad.
Truth!!!
Always good to be backed up by a Úi Ímair!!
