Sveriges gränser från 1150 till idag

Det er virkeligt godt lavet. Elsker Sverige, Norge og Findland. Fedt at være Nordisk.

Love it! Learning Swedish and history at the same time. A lovely combination!

Wildeshausen is so only about 400 km from my home :) Can't believe it used to belong to Sweden! Greetings from Belgium.

Nu kan vi göra som Ryssland o hävda våran rätt till vissa områden. Vi har ju historiska rättigheter.

Ingermanland is where I, my dad, my granddad and also my great granddad were born. That feeling when the author is speaking about your homeland

damn mate finally a channel that focuses on Scandinavia. I speak Swedish on an OK level and wanna get into Finnish too so I hope you'll be making more sick videos like this.

Valdigt interessant! Som en finsk-amerikan med svensk ursprung, allting med Sverige intresserar mig.

Skitbra gjort! Hoppas det kommer fler videor om gränsändringar eller svensk historia.

Tack för den här videon som är mycket informativ och har också hjälpt mig att förbättra min svenska :)

Awesome. It was interesting for me because it's the first time I've ever heard Swedish but understood a lot of what was said without subtitle help. Really beautiful language 👍

Tack för denna video!

Grymt bra video och väldigt detaljrik sammanfattning. Tusen tack!!

Riktigt bra. Denna bör många fler (historielösa) människor se.

Ångermanland was settled by Norse speaker long before 1150 AD! You can see this in both placenames, placename patterns and archelogical findings. In fact during the first half of the milennia what is today Hälsingland, Medelpad, Ångermanland and parts of Jämtland were its own petty kingdom (the area north of the border forest of Ödemården, desolcated forest, and south of Skuleskogen, Skule forest). The burial mounds along Selånger in Medepad from this era rival that of the mounds in old Uppsala in riches and in wealth - it was not some poor back water area. After the eviromental catastrophy around 536AD and thereafter (several vulcanic eruptions and the following years of global vulcanic winter) the settlments in the north looses their elite characteritics and the population was notibly decreased but never vanished. The political entity was splintred and you can see this when King Sverre of Norway ride first through Hälsingland and the up to Jämtland where he in 1177(?) conqured Jämtland at the battle of Storsjön (on the ice). Here Hälsingland and Jämtland acts as two different political entites, both governed by so called "folk-republics" (similar to Iceland). However it is worth knowing that Jämtland, and most likely the rest of the middle north area as well in some shape or form, was at times paying tribute to the Swedes in exchange for protection from the Norwegian kings, not rarely based in Trondheim at the time. However the Norwegian king Olaf the Holy was held in very high regard and is said to have promoted church building in the whole river vally of Ljungan on his way to the battle Stikkelstad where many men from the area joind him. Had he not died there who knows if the area would perhaps become under Norwegian rule. We know that in the 1200-ish the Swedish king considered the area his subjects. But in his letters he is begging the area to pay tribute, pay taxes and provide military men. A medeival king do not beg and it clearly show that the inhabitants of this area thought of themselves as independent no matter what the king himself thought. It was not until 1320AD that Swedish taxcollectors stopped being killed on the spot and the area started to become a integrated part of the Swedish kingdom. If you swap the area "Ångermanland" out with "Västerbotten" though then the word "colonize" is a somewhat better fit as the majority of norse/Swedish placenames are of a younger date in this area. However you miss quite a big political entity in the region and that is the Finnish speaking Kvens/Kväner who is most likely from whom the elite known as "Birkarlar" (likely meaning merchants who trade with, and later collected tax from, the Sami) came. Along the coastline there had also been home, seasonal amd permantly, to Norse speaking coastal fishers. There is at that many different entities inside what we today just call Sami. So lumping all this groups, with different languages, lifestyles and culture into one with the missrepresetative lable "Sami" is bordeline disrespectful and carry in it self a bad aftertaste of a colonial mindset. That this ares were incoperated into the Swedish kingdom is a fact. If it was voluntarely or involuntarely or both at the same time is a complex issue. However the choices of words are important and using "colonised" indicates that there was no Norsepeaking people there before this date, which is false. The very name "Ångermanland" is old Norse in origin (meaning "the fjord mens land") and even have a flavour of west Norse (like Norwegian; compare "ånger" with Norwegian "anger", as in Stavanger, as the word for "fjord") rather the east Norse (like the Swedes). Infact the dialects of the whole area has flavours of west Norse that the rest of the east coast do not have.

Tack! Så intressant!
