Ivar the Boneless is renowned as a fearsome Norse leader who invaded England and Ireland. But beyond the myth-making, who was Ivar really? Was he a son of the legendary Ragnar Lothbrok? How did he get his not very fearsome name? What was his role in the infamous Great Heathen Army and the Viking invasion of England?Dr. Eleanor Janega returns to the bloody, brutal, and often baffling world of the Vikings with Professor Clare Downham to try to uncover the truth behind one of the most mysterious and fearsome figures in Norse history.MORE:Ragnar Lothbrok: The Viking Legend:https://shows.acast.com/gone-medieval/episodes/ragnar-lothbrok-the-viking-legendHow to Live Like a Viking:https://open.spotify.com/episode/7DTRpIGPS9ygGa6pjodHnfGone Medieval is presented by Dr. Eleanor Janega.

Send me a messageIn early 871, Wessex stood on the brink. The Great Heathen Army—an alliance of Viking warriors—had already devastated Northumbria and East Anglia, and now turned its full fury toward the last unconquered Anglo-Saxon kingdom. After a Viking victory at the Battle of Reading, King Æthelred of Wessex and his younger brother, Prince Alfred—later known as Alfred the Great—rallied their forces for a decisive counterstrike.Become A PatronMake A DonationSupport the show

Send me a messageIn the year 865, a new and terrifying force arrived on English shores—not a raiding party, but a full-scale invasion. The Great Heathen Army, a coalition of battle-hardened Viking war bands, swept across the land with ruthless efficiency. Northumbria, divided by internal strife, fell quickly. East Anglia offered tribute—then resistance—and paid dearly for it. These early campaigns would shatter Anglo-Saxon unity and mark the beginning of a long and brutal struggle for control of England. This is the story of when those English Anglo Saxon kingdoms first came face-to-face with the Great Heathen Army..Become A PatronMake A DonationSupport the show

The Great Heathen Army that devastated England in the 860s and 870s was, tradition claims, spear-headed by three of the sons of Ragnar Lothbrok. As discussed last time, legend had it that they invaded to avenge their father's execution at the hands of King Ælle of Northumbria. It is not clear how true this is. But it does serve to lead us into a consideration of three of the most prominent Vikings in Anglo-Saxon history.  Credits –  Music: 'Wælheall' by Hrōðmund Wōdening https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQfdqIyqJ4g&list=LL&index=5&ab_channel=Hr%C5%8D%C3%B0mundW%C5%8Ddening Social Media -  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/anglosaxonengland Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Anglo-Saxon-England-Podcast-110529958048053 Twitter: https://twitter.com/EnglandAnglo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anglosaxonenglandpodcast/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzyGUvYZCstptNQeWTwfQuA  Learn more about your ad choices.

The Viking Age, spanning roughly from the late 8th century to the early 11th century, was marked by the Scandinavian Norsemen's explorations, trade, and raiding across wide swaths of Europe. Among the territories they influenced, England stands out prominently. The Vikings didn't just raid; they settled, integrated, and even ruled parts of England, leaving a lasting legacy on its culture and history. The first recorded Viking raid in England was the attack on the Lindisfarne Monastery in 793 AD. This event is often considered the beginning of the Viking Age. The brutality and suddenness of the attack shocked the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and marked the start of numerous raids along the English coast. In 865 AD, a large Viking force known as the Great Heathen Army, led by Ragnar Lothbrok's sons—particularly Ivar the Boneless, Halfdan Ragnarsson, and Ubbe—invaded England. Over the next several years, they systematically attacked and conquered several Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, including Northumbria, East Anglia, and much of Mercia. The Viking invasions led to the establishment of the Danelaw, a region of England under Viking control. The term "Danelaw" refers both to the geographical area and the set of legal principles under which the Vikings governed. This area included modern-day York (then Jorvik), East Anglia, and the Five Boroughs (Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Nottingham, and Stamford). Ragnar Lothbrok: Although much of his life is shrouded in legend, Ragnar is said to have been a fearsome Viking chieftain and warrior. His sons continued his legacy in England. Ivar the Boneless: Known for his cruelty and strategic acumen, Ivar played a significant role in leading the Great Heathen Army and establishing Viking rule in England. Guthrum: Another prominent Viking leader, Guthrum, converted to Christianity after being defeated by Alfred the Great. He was baptized as Æthelstan and ruled East Anglia until his death. Alfred the Great, the King of Wessex, is renowned for his defense against the Viking invasions. After several defeats, Alfred managed to turn the tide at the Battle of Edington in 878 AD, where he defeated Guthrum. The subsequent Treaty of Wedmore led to Guthrum's conversion to Christianity and a temporary peace. Over time, the Anglo-Saxons gradually regained control over Viking-occupied territories. Edward the Elder and his sister, Æthelflæd, played crucial roles in reclaiming lands from the Vikings. By the mid-10th century, King Edgar the Peaceful ruled a unified England. In the early 11th century, the Viking influence surged again with Sweyn Forkbeard, who became King of England in 1013. His son, Cnut the Great, ruled a vast North Sea Empire that included Denmark, Norway, and England. Cnut's reign (1016-1035) is often seen as a period of stability and integration of Viking and Anglo-Saxon cultures. The Viking presence in England significantly impacted its language, culture, and legal systems. Many English words of Norse origin entered the language, and Viking place names are common in the areas they settled. The Vikings also influenced the development of the English navy and military tactics. The Viking Age left an indelible mark on English history. From fearsome raiders to rulers and settlers, the Vikings' legacy can be seen in the cultural and historical tapestry of England. Their story is one of conquest, integration, and lasting influence.

East Anglian history poses a particular problem for historians of Anglo-Saxon England. The Kingdom of East Anglia was one of just four kingdoms still in existence when the Great Heathen Army landed in England in 865, but hardly anything written records have survived from its time as an independent kingdom, most likely due to its having suffered the bulk of the Army's initial onslaught which seemingly destroyed the kingdom's major religious and administrative centres.  Credits –  Music: 'Wælheall' by Hrōðmund Wōdening https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQfdqIyqJ4g&list=LL&index=5&ab_channel=Hr%C5%8D%C3%B0mundW%C5%8Ddening Social Media -  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/anglosaxonengland Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Anglo-Saxon-England-Podcast-110529958048053 Twitter: https://twitter.com/EnglandAnglo  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anglosaxonenglandpodcast/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzyGUvYZCstptNQeWTwfQuA  Learn more about your ad choices.

Bluetooth The King Ragnar Lodbrok was a legendary Norse king, conquering parts of Denmark and Sweden. And if we're to believe the songs, he led some of the best raids against the Franks and the the loose patchwork of nations Charlemagne put together called the Holy Roman Empire.  We use the term legendary as the stories of Ragnar were passed down orally and don't necessarily reconcile with other written events. In other words, it's likely that the man in the songs sung by the bards of old are likely in fact a composite of deeds from many a different hero of the norse.   Ragnar supposedly died in a pit of snakes at the hands of the Northumbrian king and his six sons formed a Great Heathen Army to avenge their father. His sons ravaged modern England int he wake of their fathers death before becoming leaders of various lands they either inherited or conquered. One of those sons, Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye, returned home to rule his lands and had children, including Harthacnut. He in turn had a son named Gorm.  Gorm the Old was a Danish king who lived to be nearly 60 in a time when life expectancy for most was about half that. Gorm raised a Jelling stone in honor of his wife Thyra. As did his son, in the honor of his wife. That stone is carved with runes that say: “King Haraldr ordered this monument made in memory of Gormr, his father, and in memory of Thyrvé, his mother; that Haraldr who won for himself all of Denmark and Norway and made the Danes Christian.” That stone was erected by a Danish king named Herald Gormsson. He converted to Christianity as part of a treaty with the Holy Roman Emperor of the day. He united the tribes of Denmark into a kingdom. One that would go on to expand the reach and reign of the line. Just as Bluetooth would unite devices. Even the logo is a combination of runes that make up his initials HB. Once united, their descendants would go on to rule Denmark, Norway, and England. For a time. Just as Bluetooth would go on to be an important wireless protocol. For a time.  Personal Area Networks Many early devices shipped with infrared so people could use a mouse or keyboard. But those never seemed to work so great. And computers with a mouse and keyboard and drawing pad and camera and Zip drive and everything else meant that not only did devices have to be connected to sync but they also had to pull a lot of power and create an even bigger mess on our desks.  What the world needed instead was an inexpensive chip that could communicate wirelessly and not pull a massive amount of power since some would be in constant communication. And if we needed a power cord then might as well just use USB or those RS-232 interfaces (serial ports) that were initially developed in 1960 - that were slow and cumbersome. And we could call this a Personal Area Network, or PAN.  The Palm Pilot was popular, but docking and pluging in that serial port was not exactly optimal. Yet every ATX motherboard had a port or two. So a Bluetooth Special Interest Group was formed to conceive and manage the standard in 1988 and while initially had half a dozen companies now has over 30,000. The initial development started in the late 1990s with Ericcson. It would use short-range UHF radio waves in the 2.402 GHz and 2.48 GHz bands to exchange data with computers and cell phones, which were evolving into mobile devices at the time. The technology was initially showcased at COMDEX in 1999. Within a couple of years there were phones that could sync, kits for cars, headsets, and chips that could be put into devices - or cards or USB adapters, to get a device to sync 721 Kbps. We could add 2 to 8 Bluetooth secondary devices that paired to our primary. They then frequency hopped using their Bluetooth device address provided by the primary, which sends a radio signal to secondaries with a range of addresses to use. The secondaries then respond with the frequency and clock state. And unlike a lot of other wireless technologies, it just kinda' worked. And life seemed good. Bluetooth went to the IEEE, which had assigned networking the 802 standard with Ethernet being 802.3 and Wi-Fi being 802.11. So Personal Area Networks became 802.15, with Bluetooth 1.1 becoming 802.15.1. And the first phone shipped in 2001, the Sony Ericsson T39.  Bluetooth 2 came in 2005 and gave us 2.1 Mbps speeds and increased the range from 10 to 30 meters. By then, over 5 million devices were shipping every week. More devices mean we have a larger attack surface space. And security researchers were certainly knocking at the door. Bluetooth 2.1 added secure simple pairing. Then Bluetooth 3 in 2009 bringing those speeds up to 24 Mbps and once connected allowing Wi-Fi to pick up connections once established. But we were trading speed for energy and this wasn't really the direction Bluetooth needed to go. Even if a billion devices had shipped by the end of 2006. Bluetooth 4 The mobility era was upon us and it was increasingly important, not just for the ARM chips, but also for the rest of the increasing number of devices, to use less power. Bluetooth 4 came along in 2010 and was slower at 1 Mbps, but used less energy. This is when the iPhone 4S line fully embraced the technology, helping make it a standard.  While not directly responsible for the fitness tracker craze, it certainly paved the way for a small coin cell battery to run these types of devices for long periods of time. And it allowed for connecting devices 100 meters, or well over 300 feet away. So leave the laptop in one room and those headphones should be fine in the next.  And while we're at it, maybe we want those headphones to work on two different devices. This is where Multipoint comes into play. That's the feature of Bluetooth 4 that allows those devices to pass seamlessly between the phone and the laptop, maintaining a connection to each. Apple calls their implementation of this feature Handoff.  Bluetooth 5 came in 2016, allowing for connections up to 240 meters, or around 800 feet. Well, according to what's between us and our devices, as with other protocols. We also got up to 2 Mbps, which dropped as we moved further away from devices. Thus we might get buffering issues or slower transfers with weaker connections. But not outright dropping the connection. Bluetooth Evolves Bluetooth was in large part developed to allow our phones to sync to our computers. Most don't do that any more. And the developers wanted to pave the way for wireless headsets. But it also allowed us to get smart scales, smart bulbs, wearables like smart watches and glasses, Bluetooth printers, webcams, keyboards, mice, GPS devices, thermostats, and even a little device that tells me when I need to water the plants. Many home automation devices, or IoT as we seem to call them these days began as Bluetooth but given that we want them to work when we take all our mostly mobile computing devices out of the home, many of those have moved over to Wi-Fi these days. Bluetooth was initially conceived as a replacement for the serial port. Higher throughput needs moved to USB and USB-C. Lower throughput has largely moved to Bluetooth, with the protocol split between Low Energy and higher bandwidth application which with high definition audio now includes headphones. Once the higher throughput needs went to parallel and SCSI but now there are so many other options.  And the line is blurred between what goes where. Billions of routers and switches have been sold, billions of wireless access points. Systems on a Chip now include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth together on the same chip. The programming languages for native apps have also given us frameworks and APIs where we can establish a connection over 5G, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth, and then hand them off where the needs diverge. Seamless to those who use our software and elegant when done right. Today over four billion bluetooth devices ship per year, growing at about 10 percent a year. The original needs that various aspects of Bluetooth was designed for have moved to other protocols and the future of the Personal Area Network may be at least in part moved to Wi-Fi or 5G. But for now it's a standard that has aged well and continues to make life easier for those who use it.

Balls. Guts. Manlihood.  Testicular Fortitude on the Manlihood ManCast is where we take a look at men who have beat the odds, men whose courage has left a lasting legacy. The Vikings, feared and ruthless raiders, who plundered and pillaged their way through Europe, spreading terror and destruction wherever they went. But among their ranks stood one warrior who rose above the rest, a man who was as feared as he was respected, a man known as Ivar the Boneless. Ivar, son of Ragnar Lothbrok, was a Viking chieftain of Danish origin, whose life story is suffused with legend. He was a man who sought not only to plunder but to conquer. In 865, Ivar and his brothers Halfdan and Hubba invaded Great Britain at the head of a large Viking force, known as the Great Heathen Army. Their motivation was to avenge their father, who had died after being captured while raiding the kingdom of Northumbria. After capturing the capital city of York in 866, Ivar led his army to Nottingham, in the kingdom of Mercia. But the Mercian king Burgred called upon Wessex for assistance, and King Aethelred I and the future King Alfred soon arrived to besiege Nottingham. The Danes withdrew to York without a fight. Ivar and his brothers remained in York for about a year, before returning to East Anglia where they defeated King Edmund in battle. Ivar did not participate in the Viking campaign to take Wessex from King Alfred in the 870s. Instead, he renewed his partnership with Olaf the White and entered what is now Scotland. Their army overran and destroyed Dumbarton, capital of the Strathclyde kingdom, in 870. The following year the two returned in triumph to Dublin. Ivar, by then known as 'king of the Norsemen of all Ireland and Britain,' died in 873. The meaning of Ivar's peculiar nickname, 'the Boneless,' is not known with any certainty. It might refer to a hereditary skeletal condition such as osteogenesis imperfecta, or to an inability to walk. It stands in contrast to modern times, when pain or any kind of disability almost gives us an excuse to surrender. Ivar isn't known for his kindness, or his goodness. He was fierce and brutal. He took what didn't belong to him. He ruled and reigned in the very ways a viking would expect. As with many of the men we highlight here, we can learn from their moral weakness as much as we can learn from their strength. In the face of that debilitating pain, Ivar the Boneless was a Viking warrior unlike any other, a man of courage, strength, and determination, whose legacy lives on to this day.

Amon Amarth has launched a new album for 2022, titled The Great Heathen Army. The album is a great opportunity to catch up with the group's guitarist and discuss the finer points of the album, guitar playing and other topics.

Mattias ringde upp Olavi från Amon Amarth som är albumaktuella med albumet The Great Heathen Army.

Welcome back everybody to another episode of the great metal debate podcast. My name is Xander and I am a Die Hard fan of the Swedish melodic death metal band called Amon Amarth. I have been a super fan since the Year 2006 when I first discovered them on their album with Odin On Our Side. I remember the very first song I ever heard from these guys, it was "Runes To My Memory". I was pretty much sold on these guys after I heard their second single from that album called "Cry of the Blackbirds". But today we will be talking about the brand new album called the Great Heathen Army. This is the band's 12th studio album and I have pretty much concluded with their previous record that this band gets better and better each time they release a new album. Having said that, Berserker is one of my favorite albums from them despite it being very recent. To me, this new album hasn't exactly dethroned Berserker but it still ranks very high to me. I am one of those rare type of metalheads who can learn to appreciate new material from a well-established band. Most people lose interest in bands after they release their third to fifth album. In fact, I have a friend on Facebook who told me a few days ago that he stopped listening to them after the versus The World album in 2004 which I find completely shocking. Several months ago Metal Blade Records treated us all to a new music video for a song called "Put Your Back Into The Ore". It was a fantastic song but I think that all of us Amon Amarth fans were disappointed to find out that the song was only released as a single and not a part of the brand new album. With that being said it is time for us to talk about each of the brand new songs track by track. Starting off strong we have a song called "Get in the Ring". This is a very unusual title for a song from a Viking metal band but once you read the lyrics you'll understand that it is indeed about Vikings and not about a modernized blood sport. Next up we have the album title track "The Great Heathen Army". This band continues to impress me with their guitar riffs that always sounds fresh and groovy. And then we have my personal favorite song on the album "Heidrun" which is definitely one of the catchier tracks and the main riff sounds very folky, almost Fintroll-ish. "Odin Owns You All" is another stand out followed by "Find A Way Or Make One". "Dawn of the Norsemen" makes you feel like you're riding on a horse Galloping into a battle ready to die in a fight to be granted passage into Valhalla. The song itself is a very typical formula for the band with its long-standing Viking theme. "Saxons And Vikings" is definitely one of my most favorite songs on the entire album with the opening chug riff in the rhythmic drumming to kick things off. This song features the lead singer of the power metal band known as Saxon. It is really neat to mix power metal vocals with death metal vocals. Surprisingly it is a fantastic combination with a super melodic riff and a face melting guitar solo. "Skagul Rides With Me" seems like a very forgettable fuller track and things really slow down both musically and vocally for the final song "The Serpent's Trail". Overall this is another great album but do I consider it the best? No I do not. But it is still definitely Worthy of the box set that I got for this album which includes a poster, a puzzle, trading cards, a bottle topper, a patch and the CD. It is a good collector's item to own if you are a die-hard fan of Amon Amarth! So how would I rate this album? It is really good but far from perfection, so with that being said I have to give this an 8.5 out of 10. Be sure to check out Amon Amarth's music videos on YouTube and you can listen to their music anywhere else. I'm on Amarth is signed with metal blade records so if you would like to support them by buying their merch you can do that website as well as indiemerch.com.

Just like the marauding Vikings which dominate their music, Amon Amarth have conquered lands without fear or remorse – but more so sonically rather than by the force wielded by their ancestors.Since forming in Sweden in 1992 the band have swept all before them with a blending of ferocious yet melodic tidings awash with the majesty of Viking history, folklore and culture. Their music is as authentic as it is passionate, overpowering all before it and embedding a way of life into a musical landscape.Amon Amarth have emerged from a tumultuous two years for the world as a whole in the only way they know how – triumphantly and with a fresh slab of heaviness from which to launch their assault.With ‘The Great Heathen Army' set to invade on August 5, guitarist Olavi Mikkonen sat down with HEAVY to discuss another impending victory."It's a new album,” he declared. “We haven't really changed too much, but I think the album is a little heavier, and a little darker compared to previous. Hopefully the fans are gonna love it the way we do."Mikkonen has been quoted as saying The Great Heathen Army is “a darker, more death metal sounding album”, to which he elaborates, simplifying the remark. "We are back in B tuning. Berserker was a higher tuning so we're back where we've always been. Also, I think musically it's a throwback to what we did 10 or 15 years ago."In the full interview, Olavi talks more about the direction of the album, the darker elements that run through it, the subject matter and how much emphasis is placed on being historically accurate, the early days of the band, how they have changed musically over the years, upcoming tours and more.

In this episode Shawn discusses Viking Age England from 787-878 CE in part 1 of the series as told by the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. He briefly discusses the first centuries of Anglo-Saxon England in the lead up to the Viking Age. He then goes on to discuss the Viking Age itself along with the early raids, and the lead up to the arrival of the Great Heathen Army in 866. One by one the kingdoms fell, until the last Kingdom of Wessex, and its King Alfred defeated the pagan general Guthrum in a decisive battle.In the episode Shawn discusses the ambition of Alfred's Grandfather, King Ecbert, (the same dude from "Vikings" the tv show), who for a brief time in the early to mid 800s subjected the rest of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms to his rule.Between Two Ravens is a podcast about the psychological significance of Norse Mythology.

A coward thinks he'll always liveIf he keeps himself from strifeOld age leaves no rest and peaceThough spears may spare his lifeJag minns att jag satt och våndades över alla negativa reaktioner jag skulle få. Det var 2013 och jag behövde klara en deadline för en rapport i ett kontroversiellt ämne, men fick bara mer skrivkramp. Jag drack ett par öl, blev lite berusad, men skriva gick inte. Men så hörde jag strofen ovan i låten Live without regrets av Amon Amarth. Den hjälpte mig där och då. Ren magi. Låten sattes på repeat, och jag blev klar med min rapport i tid. Orden har stannat kvar hos mig – med sångaren Johan Heggs death growl. I dagens podd pratar jag med just Johan Hegg, som sagt är han sångare i Amon Amarth. Genren är death metal, även om tematiken som bandet använder har gjort att det ibland kallas “vikingametal”. Det är också mer melodiöst än mycket annan death metal, vilket tilltalar mig. Amon Amarths låtar kretsar, som ni förstår, runt vikingar och fornnordisk mytologi. Just nu är de aktuella med en ny skiva med titeln The Great Heathen Army som släpps den femte augusti (förbeställ här!). Jag har fått privilegiet att lyssna på skivan på förhand och kan avslöja att den är en av deras starkaste, även om det är så jag brukar känna när de släpper en ny skiva. För jag är inte objektiv för fem öre: om jag fick ta med mig musik från ett enda band till en öde ö hade det varit Amon Amarth. Gärna den nya skivan. Dagens samtal handlar om vilka vikingarna var, några särskilt viktiga scener ur deras låtar med betydelse för historien, varför man alltid kan upptäcka något nytt i fornnordisk mytologi och hur den kan inspirera oss i dag samt vad det innebär att vara ett metalhead. Deras turné inleds i september och den 24:e kommer de till Hovet i Stockholm. Hoppas vi ses där! Jag mottar inga statliga bidrag eller annan finansiering, utan förlitar mig helt på er läsare och lyssnare.

The Vikings shot onto the international scene when they ransacked, burned, looted and slaughtered their way through the peaceful monastic community on the island of Lindisfarne in 793 AD. But it wasn't an isolated incident.  It began the so-called Viking Age and 300 years of bitter warfare between Anglo-Saxon and Viking for control of the fertile land of England.  For 60 years after Lindisfarne the Vikings contented themselves with raiding and terrorising the coastal communities and riverways of Anglo-Saxon England, but by 865 their thoughts had turned to invasion. The Sea Wolves were coming to stay.   Subscribe to us here on your favourite podcast channel, follow us on Instagram and Facebook @bitesizebattles, and visit our website at www.bitesizebattles.com.

 King  Æthelred of England really did not have the wherewithal to successfully deal with the Danish/English tension that he had inherited with the throne, which had been caused by Viking raids for about 100 years,  notably established by what the English called The Great Heathen Army, which took over much of England.  Oh, too bad. One solution, he thought, was to kill off all the Danes in England.  This did not work. For one thing, the Danes did not in fact get killed off, though the English did kill some of them -- notably in Oxford, where they burnt the church down with Danish settlers gathered inside. For another thing, the Vikings invaded again, not long after the Massacre. The throne of England went back and forth between the English and Danes, after that, for some decades, until, in 1066, the Normans would invade and take everything over, establishing a NEW Viking dynasty, one which spoke French. And liked to write history.

Join our raiding party as we dive into the Great Heathen Army!!!

In 865 AD Britain was invaded by the Great Heathen Army an alliance of Scandanavian warriors determined to conquer the kingdoms of East Anglia, Northumbria, Merica and Wessex. Over the next few years, all of those kingdoms would fall to the Viking forces with the exception of Wessex. In May 878 Alfred the Great defeated the Vikings at the Battle of Edington. However, despite this defeat, the Vikings did not leave, but rather reached an agreement with Alfred allowing them to retain control of much of the north and east of England in what would become known as the Danelaw. Professor Cat Jarman joins Dan as they travel across the country exploring the key sites of the Viking conquest and looking to discover what may still be to discover about the Great Heathen Army.

Sophie (age 7) and Ellie (age 5) tell the story of the start of the Viking Age, from the attack at Lindisfarne to the creation of the Danelaw.----more---- Our story starts with the attack on the Lindisfarne monastery in 793AD. The monastery is famous for its treasures and how it helped Britain become Christian. No one is expecting an attack. So when the first heavily armed Vikings storm ashore it is a complete surprise. Monks are killed and enslaved, their treasures are stolen and altars destroyed. People around England and the world are stunned. The Viking Age has begun. The Vikings are the words given nowadays to the people who lived in Denmark, Sweden and Norway a thousand years ago. However, back then people called them the Danes or the Northmen. They invented new ships called the Longship which had a flat bottom so it could go up rivers or straight onto beaches, but also had a keel so it could make long sea journeys.  No one knows why the Vikings started to expand. Some think it was because of over population, some think it was just because their neighbours were weak, others think it was because of their shipbuilding technology, others think it was just to get richer. However, not all Vikings were raiders. They had inventors, explorers and traders too. At first their raids were just trying to take money and slaves. However, over time they became more ambitious. The Vikings decided to conquer England. The Great Heathen Army full of Vikings marched into England. Kingdoms tried to pay them to go away with gold. This was called Danegeld. The Vikings conquered East Anglia and killed its King horribly. Then they conquered Northumbria and Mercia. Only Wessex stood against them led by its King, Alfred the Great. The Vikings attacked Alfred one Christmas when there was supposed to be a peace. Alfred fled to the marshes. But he regrouped and fought back. A peace was made between the Danes and the Saxons. The Danes took the North and East of England. It was called the Danelaw. Many of the place names today are Viking ones. We pause our episode there. Next week we will talk about the exploration of the Vikings as they sail to the Americas and to Constantinople; how they conquered all of England; and about the Danish Gods.

This week Neil winters with the Great Heathen Army, the mighty Viking force that was poised, ready to sweep across the British Isles.After the Vikings defeated the powerful Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Mercia they chose to over-winter their army in its capital, Repton in Derbyshire.It was here they rested and recuperated, plotting and planning their next military moves. It was also where they buried their dead. The grave of a formidable Viking, known as the Repton Warrior, who died of terrible injuries was found here, buried with his battle sword. The Vikings, who had died in battle were heading for Valhalla, but come the good weather their comrades were intent on pressing on and conquering the whole of the British Isles.Also discovered at Repton was a mass Viking grave of great significance. At its centre was, what's thought to be, the grave of one of the Great Heathen Army's leaders - the legendary warrior, Ivar the Boneless.Check out, NEIL OLIVER LOVE LETTER – the series INSTAGRAM account See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Great Heathen Army was a mighty force of Viking warriors assembled for the invasion of England. Led by legendary Viking warriors such as Ivar the Boneless, Ubba, Halfdan and Bjorn Ironside, the Great Heathen Army triggered a significant shift in Anglo Saxon history that left a permanent mark on the country.

Welcome back, in this episode Khalid will take you through possibly the most significant Viking archaeological site in Britain and explain the techniques Archaeologists use, as well as what these discoveries teach us about the Great Heathen Army. Then we'll explore a time where Anglo-Saxon Britain teetered on the edge of total annihilation and Alfred the Great was forced to earn his name.   Follow the host https://twitter.com/KhalidWinter Directed by Emily Ling Williams

Discussion of the Viking Raids in England, France and Frisia before the Great Heathen Army period. Charlemagne, Alcuin and and other European reactions, the founding of Normandy. With digressions on the St. Brice's Day massacre and the great Forkbeard.The Vikings conquered England?

Despite the corona quarantine, I've managed to record a new episode! In the year 865, a large force of Vikings invaded the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. Everyone was robbed, and those who didn't submit to Scandinavian rule were also killed. King Edmund of East Anglia was turned into a pincushion by Ivar the Boneless. Only Wessex continued to defy the onslaught. Its teenage king Alfred fought the Viking forces that are known to history as the Great Heathen Army.  

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we go back to Viking days and look at the life of one of their most important conquerors, Ivar the Boneless. Ivar was made popular by his fictional portrayal in the TV show Vikings, but he was a real guy back in the 9th century. His claim to fame? Conquering all of England with a Great Heathen Army. Oh, and spoiler alert: even though we don’t talk about the TV show directly very much (though Brad throws out a major spoiler about a death in the show), the history we discuss will ruin things about the show. So, be warned. Ivar the Boneless is an interesting figure from history, not just because he conquered all of England, but because finding the facts through the fiction is difficult. Much of what we know about him today came from Sagas, Viking epic poems whose job was entertainment more than accuracy. Sifting through the tall tales for the truth can prove difficult. Even the truth behind his name is a mystery. Some legends say he was deformed and had gristle for bones. Others say it was a curse as predicted by his mother the witch, Aslaug. Some even think he suffered from gigantism or earned the name because he had no sexual appetite. Regardless of why he's called that, what we know for sure is that he was a tactical genius. His small band of Vikings fought in battle after battle, and they won against all odds in foreign territory. His father, Ragnar Lothbrook was killed by a king in England, and many thing that Ivar’s entire war in England was simply a revenge battle. Others think he was too tempered and tactical for such a purely emotional response, but either way, the way he killed the king who supposedly murdered Ragnar was especially brutal. So, how close is the TV show to the supposed reality? What are the differences between the sagas and the facts we know? How did he a kill another British king in such an awful way that the man became a religious martyr? How long did it take Ivar the Boneless to conquer all of England, and why did he want land when all other Vikings before him only wanted loot? What happened when he finally conquered everything all the way to Scotland? How did he finally die, and why do archaeologists think he was disemboweled in spite of the historical accounts? Listen, laugh, learn.  

... and welcome back to the history of the British isles podcast

In this episode, we tackle the life of Ragnar’s fiercest and most complex son, Ivar the Boneless. We begin with an investigation into Ivar’s birth and enigmatic nickname. From there we trace the path of his illustrious military career. Our journey will take us from Denmark to Ireland, where Ivar conquers Dublin and goes head to head with the High King of Ireland, Mael Sechnaill. From Dublin, we’ll follow Ivar to Anglo-Saxon England with the Great Heathen Army. There Ivar and company topple kingdom after kingdom with ruthless efficiency. Join us as we dive deep into the medieval chronicles, legends, and tales to uncover the stories behind Vikings’ most compelling character, Ivar the Boneless, King of the Vikings in Ireland and Britain.
