- What was Denmark’s role in the Northern Crusades and what impact did the Danes have on medieval history?
The Danish conquests against the remaining pagan powers in northern Europe is an important, yet often unknown part of the history of the northern crusades. This part in danish history is where Denmark, in just a couple generations, was transformed from a disorganized backwater plagued by civil war to a major medieval great power in northern Europe.
Outside of covering the danish wars against the wends, we're also going to cover Denmark’s wars with the duchy of Pomerania as well as the fall of the duchy of Saxony.

I don't understand why you didn't get more views? Your content of great, well researched, and interested as well. With only around 600 views that isn't quite fair for your quality.
exactly! i am currently “struggling” to find actually honest history channels
@@flordesol5766 What he is doing is really good I think he is getting a niche for people who is really interested in history and telling it correct or as correct you can get. Really good work. Please continue!
How did I not find this channel earlier, this is great stuff my guy
Good stuff!
Can't wait till this is all complete like a feature length movie, great video, I can see some new editing tricks :P
Yup, I really appreciated your tip on how to add shadows to texts and objects :)
Good video 👍🏻
R O N N I E Thankyou Ronnie! 😊
In all three episodes about the Northern Crusades, the fact of the movement of the Euro-aggression of the Northern Crusades against Orthodox Russia is silent, although everyone has heard about the Ice Battle of 1242, but no one knows that the Ice Massacre was only a small episode of two centuries of the Euro-aggression of the Northern Crusades against Orthodox Russia along the entire western border of Russia, starting from the Carpathians and up to the Finnish The bay...
Are you swedish
Quill? Because your accent sounds swedish or baltic?. Just curios! and very nice video you made here :) And of course i subscribed
That's correct, I'm Swedish.
@@quillinkhistory9539 Hvad med en video om Skånekrigen 1675-1679? Du laver gode videoer. Tak!
Go Denmark! Whooo!
Honestly, though, living in Denmark...This is going to go downhill fast...
What's wrong in Denmark?
@@quillinkhistory9539 "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" - Hamlet.
Narh, nothing is actually wrong here, we just like complaining... Compared to most everywhere else in the world though, we're pretty well off.
My history teacher once described Danish history as something like.
"We had a great run with the vikings, then people figured out where we lived and that was the end of that... Then we had a great time after the plague, nothing like the death of half the country to redistribute the wealth and bring people together."
Danish history often described the 15-16'th century as a Danish Golden Age. Pretty far fetched if you ask me..
@@TheIfifi That's interesting. When I read Swedish history in elementary school Denmark often came up, usually as the enemy of Sweden, with example's like Christian II, the Scania wars, Valdemar II sacking Visby e.tc but we never really learnt about northern European history from Denmark's perspective. I didn't know the 15- 16th century was seen as a Danish golden age. Was it because you we're at the head of the Kalmar union? I'm also kind of curious, how did you remembered Sweden portrayed in danish history classes?
@@quillinkhistory9539 the arch enemy 😅
@@TheIfifi Well our kings were always sitting back to enjoy their life instead of building an empire, Denmark was extremely powerful and even won wars to Sweden, they could have conquered the Baltic ses
Great video. I would like to explain two things:
1. I would like to know where you found name Bogislaw. I never heard that form of name ( in Poland he is known as Bogusław I, where ł is read like English w and w is read like v).
2. In the name Jaromar, you read J like y in yellow.
3. We can't all pronouce everything correct.
Thanks for the feedback, and I'm happy to hear you liked the video. Names can be tricky to get right when editing. The misspelling with the name Bogislav was because I copied how they had spelled the name in Wikipedia since it's faster than trying to dig up how they spelled the name in the literature I'm using. Regarding the pronunciation of names, I usually go with what it sounds like in English, and my Swedish dialect will effect how I pronounce names which makes some mispronunciations hard to avoid.
@@quillinkhistory9539 I assume the next episode is about Knud den store, (Cnut the great) ?
@@niko1ndex That's a good question. I think it will focus a bit on king Knud, and also a loot on Valdemar II. Who will get the most focus will depend on what is the main focus on the literature I'm using.
Wait, a little question: So all the region of Wendia and Pomerania and stuff was already part of the Holy Roman Empire, despite being pagan?
I don't think the emperor claimed the land of the Oborite tribes(the land covered in blue), which was the main pagan area in the region at the time, was a part of the Holy roman empire. The duchy a Pomerania and Saxony, however, was officially a part of the empire. Exactly what territory was and was not within the empire is something that the literature is seldom clear about. I hope that answered your question.

You don't attack Odins sons at sea. There is a reason why we became great under our Viking-age and Middle-age. 🇩🇰
Why is Wilhelm the bastard on the thumbnail?
It was the best copy-right free portrait of a Medieval king available.
Think you can find copy right free sketches in Saxo’s books
Why do you always end your words with a long pronounciation? For example when you say a word that end with e you say eeeeeee
Weird.
English is not his first language. The narration is clear enough so does it really matter?
@@superviewer lol that doesn't mean it's an accent, he just speaks in a special way and i am asking why, it's not an accent and i know what accents are
Very strange, pretentious, and distracting enunciation in this video’s narration. I am *NOT* talking about the narrator’s *ACCENT*: that is NOT the problem at all. It is the bombastic and condescending *TONE* that is both annoying and quite distracting from what *OUGHT* to be historically significant and fascinating content
