And then he learns the horrifying truth: he has been enlisted to combat a terror that slaughters the Vikings and devours their flesh. (more)

just curious why the movie is split into so many small parts. Is it because youtube will otherwise notice that a movie is posted if it's split into longer equal parts?

@dsbclt when I uploaded it originally YT had 5 minute limit. I would like to reupload it but the disc I had was destroyed by my dad when he borrowed it couple of years ago.........it was literary unplayable from all of the scratches on it. When I get a replacement I will gladly reupload it.

Please, no historical discussions on a fantasy movie, its worthless.

even though its fantasy...milling down a blade like that wouldve ruined its structure making it very weak.

@RedCastle5000  oh yes, that was part of the danelaw in 1066, it was where harald hardrede set off to to fight harold goodwinson in the north of england whilst william of normandy was getting ready to invade...if they had not had to march all the length of the country, William would have had a harder fight i think......

@aikigeorge3 The Shetland Islands off the northern tip of Scotland were also settled by the Vikings too.

@aikigeorge3 Back then entiry Scandinavia was christianised and had major civil wars or "crusades" towards the baltic/Finnish lands. So its highly unlikely that there were any Northmen in Constantinopel when the city fell.

@joonte1010 I did not say they were vikings, I said they were northmen, the Varangian Guard....1353 may

big scary broadaxe swinging tough guys...there was a really signifigant amount of traffic up and down the river systems between the Baltic and the Black Seas...those longships worked perfectly on those rivers....

by the tenth century, raiding was pretty much replaced by trade and settlements....but every now and then ....

@aikigeorge3 I dont think there were any Vikings in the final battle of Miklagård (Constantinopel) The last battle took place sometime between the 14th and 15th century, A couple of centuries after the Viking age had ended.

@joonte1010 the last men standing, that covered the last emperor's exit when the turks finally took MICKLEGARTH ( aka constantinople, byzantium, istambul.) were northmen...Swedes, Norskie, Danes, big scarey guys that were mercenaries that kept their word and bought the farm....Northmen ran Sicily for a while.

York, Liverpool, Dublin, Glasgow, Novgarod, were all viking towns....Orkney Islands were Viking country, Those guys got around. ya sure you betcha....uff da
