The medieval Scandinavians left an impact not just on Greenland and Iceland, but on France, England, Russia, Ireland, and even briefly North America. But how did Scandinavian society begin, and what incited its voyage across the seas? Who was Rollo "the Walker" and the Great Heathen Army? How did Thorgest shape the religion and culture of Ireland? From the Rus Vikings to Greenland explorers like Bjarni, Freydis, and Leif Erikson--aka "Leif the Lucky", we'll be following the Vikings and their impact on cultures around the world.
We really enjoyed revisiting this series and getting to implement the viewer feedback that Rob had previously only been able to address in Lies.

I absolutely love the updated full series. It’s your decision if you want to do more of it. Seriously, I like the full length videos since I get a full unstopped series of it
-
Honestly, I love this whole concept, and would adore it if you could do this for your entire backlog. A tad unreasonable, I know, but Extra History is a great way for me to pass the time while I'm washing dishes at my night job, but YouTube Autoplay doesn't always play what I want and individually selecting episodes I want can be a bit of a hassle. An hour long compilation is exactly what I need.
-
This could not have been more timely. I'm working on a personal project about Vikings. Thank you for posting this!
-
The idea that so much violence was precipitated by lactose intolerance definitely feels like history.
-
I absolutely LOVE this style!! The more series we can get in uninterrupted longforms like this, the better, as far as I'm concerned.
-
My complaint about YT for the day is: that, while we here in this home will watch this at least one more time, i can only 'like' it once.
-
Wait, Rollo did 911?
-
1 hour of Vikings! How cool!
-
Parceling out content in smaller chunks when it's brand new is really fun. But once a series is out then I think more compilations should be made. I rewatch EH content all the time, videos in this format (once fully released) would be great for me
-
I loved that intro, this is a amazing video idea! 😺
-
The idea of vikings getting baptized as often as they could for free robes sounds hilarious.
-
Words cannot even explain how much I adore this channel mannnn!! The art style is incredible, and I learn so much more history here than anywhere else!!
-
Re-uploading the older videos all together in a large format is a genius move. And it seems to work out great for other channels with multi part content ! Hope to see more.
-
No way. PLEASE let this be the beginning of a series in and of itself
-
Can't believe you guys finally made a Complete series on EH so I don't need to skip the episodes between😍😍😍 Do the rest for us, please!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍

💥There is one telltale lasting inheritance from the norwegian north-american short stay: The Maine Coone. The largest of all cat breeds, long thick fur and genetically the closest relative to the Norwegian Forestcat, the Sibirian and the Persian (which is an English breed, weirdo English people and naming), all amazingly beautiful longhair cats. And as most of us know: Cats couldn't care less about human rules and borders... It is considered the only truly American breed which is absolutely true since its forefathers have been living there for more than a 1000 years...💥
-
Love how you guys are expanding your basis of operations! ♥
-
Over an hour of EH?! YES PLEASE ❤❤❤❤❤
-
This channel is just so perfect: the balance of history and comedy with a impeccable narrative. 51:53 really got me rolling on the floor. Please keep up with more videos like this (and I'm opting to watch this instead of studying for my exams next week).
