  1. I noticed you didn't mention the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, the Welsh Chronicles and a number of other histories that are contemporary to the Norse Sagas. Also, if you are interested, the British History Podcast covers this period quite extensively, and it makes for some really interesting listening (if you have the time). I think the key takeaway is that there were Vikings like there were Romans - it tends to be a catch-all phrase to describe a certain group of people who lived a certain way. This term, however, ignores the fact you had Norwegians, Danes, Swedes, etc. (rather like using Roman ignores the fact there were Etruscans, Latins, etc. in Italy, and later other peoples became "Roman" during the Empire).

  2. And like most nobility, in order to keep the wealth within their social class, they would have married other nobles. So you have a definite distinction between the majority of the the Norman ruling class and the Celtic and Anglo-Saxon lower classes, with little mixing between the two groups (at least officially).

  3. Have you given any thought to examining the Spanish Civil War in more depth? It is an almost forgotten war, but one that had major consequences later on.

  4. Very interesting video, but you didn't really answer the question as to whether the EU makes war impossible.

  5. The movie also made the case against him more ambiguous by not mentioning his other previous work.

  6.  @buckeyezak89  Problem is that the C in "C is for cavalry" and the K in "K is for Klu Klux Klan" are taken.

  7. The absence of this background history from the movie makes it seem more likely that Tom Horn was set up. Having seen this video and getting the missing details of his life, I can now see how the film makers skewed the movie to throw doubt on the verdict.
