- According to the Anglo Saxo Chronicle this is how Edmund met his end.
(870) "This year the army rode across Mercia into East Anglia, and took up their winter quarters at Thetford : and the same winter king Edmund fought against them, and the Danes got the victory, and slew the king, and subdued all the land, and destroyed all the minsters which they came to. The names of their chiefs who slew the king were Ivar and Ubba. At that same time they came to Medeshamstede, and burned and beat it down, slew abbots and monks, and all that they found there. And that place, which before was rich, they reduced to nothing."

Edmund stood his ground to the very end. That is admirable
Indeed! Thank you so much for watching!
Saint Edmund of East Anglia pray for us.
“Know that if the world hated you, it hated me first.”
"Do you now wish to be clubbed or will the arrows be sufficient?" - Ubba
Loved that in the show! 😂
Seasons 1-3 are the only good ones.
Even I, a man of Óðinn, recognize the resolve of Edmund in the face of certain death. The boy and the old blind man, sleeping at the king's grave site and being healed is a beautiful story as well.
WE WERE VIKINGS!! LOL
lmao you're not a man of Odin, cringe af, your ancestors worship the true God Christ
Indeed it is, thank you for watching!

@@loganneu5769 I would think the word "history" tells anyone he's dead
@@loganneu5769he lives in glory for ever
I love all of Ollies history profiles!! Great job! Actually makes me want to learn more! And he doesn't have an annoying, droning voice like alot of others!! Thanks Ollie 😁
Great video as always 🔥🤘
Splendid video sir!
Thank you Dave!
Wonderful video, I really love your channel
Thank you so much!
@History Profiles no brother thank you for putting so much effort into these great historical people, I have learned so much more about our history from them
Once again, outstanding
Thank you for watching!
we should resurrect Edmund as England's patron saint rather than have St George who was a Greek with no connection whatsoever to England.
I agree! Thank you for watching!
I certainly think it would be more appropriate.
I live in Bury st.Emunds, there was an effort to replace St. George, by Edmund the Martyr to no avail...
Really interesting
Thank you for watching!
To be a fly on the wall when the invasion began... could you imagine??
Kings were so brave in this time ….
Any information available on any famous left handed warrior's throughout history?
Any history on the Suieve or the Priebe Germanic clan's
Saint of God please pray for us unworthy servants☦️
hi Ollie❤
Thank you for watching Nancy !
It saint Edmund Saint of King and Martyr
You know Prince Derek called Edmund a Saint of King and Martyr but real name is Derek
From the Swan Princess from Animated Stories from New Testament 🇬🇧 ✝️
👍👍
It's my first time watching The Last Kingdom and I love it more than Vikings. Vikings got boring soon after Ragnar died. But The Last Kingdom is still interesting even after the great king Alfred died
One of the best shows on tv
Everything after season 3 is trash though.
@@NobleBruv Maybe you did but I didn't feel that way. To me, the show was still entertaining to watch....I didn't like how Brida became a villain tho. She got angry at Uhtred for a dumb reason and became psychotic
Kett was England`s Florian Geyer
🤴👍
You start to see history from another angle when you remember that all the things the vikings did to the Christians the Christians would do to everyone else just WAY more self righteously
Yep hypocrites 😂 no one ever talks about the horrible things Charlemagne did to the Saxsons in Saxsony
Actually you don’t, because you are by definition comparing apples to oranges now. What a false equivalence.
2:51: There were no Saxon "Kings" until Heinrich I in 919 (the father of Emperor Otto the Great). The settlement that later became the town Nürnberg was first mentioned in 1050. I think both the Viking "atrocities" and the "heroic" Anglo-Saxon resistance have been ridiculously exaggerated.
East saxon maybe but splitting hairs Cedric in 519ad was the first Saxon king as recorded by all history apart from you being pedantic Alfred was the most famous.
Himmler was the 1st to spout your nonsense in 1937 and hes known for other stuff way before being a historian little muppet that he was 😅
Edmund should be gone old testament
What?
Get the joints rolling....lol. (Disclaimer): I don't advocate using marijuana....joking. light one up . History profile is so good, I feel like I'm actually there in medieval times.
Thank you for watching!
I guess God didn't feel like helping Edmund
Actually, this story was fabricated by a French Monk more than a hundred years after the events. The older, reliable records all report that Edmund died in battle. Just another fictional martyr.
Prove it. You cant.
@@thepoetofmusic The story was invented by Abbo of Fleury (945 -- 1004) in his work "Passio Sancti Eadmundi". You should NEVER take ANYTHING on CZcams as a fact unless it can be confirmed by an independent, preferably written, source published by proper scientists.Passio Sancti Eadmundi
@@i.qwertzuiopu6068making the assertion again isn't proving the assertion
Love your CZcams channel really good but was Ragnar really in England and snakes makes a great story but as you probably know not real
Yeah it may not be real, but I could also be, the kings of England would have good trading ports allowing the trade of much food, and animals etc, king Aella could have ordered the snakes from abroad to kill Ragnar ceremonially as according to the sagas Ragnar himself killed Aellas father, it’s all in the gesta danorum
The irony just a hundred years ago Charlemagne killed Saxons who didn’t convert to Christianity and they too didn’t denounce their Gods 🤷🏻♂️
The Saxons resisted for their political loyalty to their defunct kingdom, not because of any intellectual of faithful devotion to their myths. They had also engaged in impious acts of sacrilege and murder against Christians, so it's hardly worth crying for them. Remember, terms like "barbarian" and "savage" are associated with the northern European pagans for a reason.
