  • I'm finding the un-melodic avant garde jazz sax emotionally unsettling and completely at odds with the content of the documentary. Soundtracks really can make or break films. I want to learn from this historian, I just wish I could turn off the the creepy, distracting "music".

  • lol so early Britian was pretty much the Romans and the Saxons playing tennis with the Celts XD

  • How the Irish Saved Civilization by Thomas Cahill is a fantastic book on this topic of monastic scholarship, for anyone interested

  • @leananshae you can: read the books

  • The Saxons went from living with the Romano-British in the hundreds to taking over huge areas of Britain.

  • I wish people would stop refering to the Danes as 'vikings'. The word 'viking' is a verb and means to go plundering. They were Danes. Period.

  • @leananshae . Then you better stop watching the documentary, better read the book...

  • @leananshae Next time you create a historical documentary you can add your own musical taste. Unitl then quit your bitching.
