They were the dreaded forces on the fringes of civilization, the bloodthirsty warriors who defied the Roman legions and terrorized the people of Europe. They were the Barbarians, and their names still evoke images of cruelty and chaos. But what do we really know of these legendary warriors?

From the frigid North Sea to the Russian steppes, this ambitious series tells the fascinating stories of four of the most fabled groups of fighters in history, tracing 1,000 years of conquest and adventure through inspired scholarship and some of the most extensive reenactments ever filmed.

Amazing how much detail and imagination portrayed as fact. A good story but there should be a disclaimer as this is from the History Channel. This seems based on the scant texts there exists and as mentioned by others ignores more recent DNA finds. The languages are quite amusing and quite rightly kept at low volume. Having said that, I enjoyed the series and am able to take with a generous pinch of salt.

Why every time when i watch a movie about 'barbarians' some irritating guys always seem to complain about who we descent from with bloodgroup this and bloudgroup that...

We al descend from hairy monkeys ho scratched their asses with out shame...

So get over with it!! I'm blond and green-eyed does this mean i descent from a Saxon?? or a viking or someone else? NO!! It's possible but... you know this is crap!!

If you're white this doesn't mean that you are a saxon! There are white people in SPAIN!

@SpadaccinoLuciano cave? no tonight ill be sleeping in your villa that i took from you after i chased your ass back to Byzantium. >:D

[SpadaccinoLuciano]

@metalhealth1980 BE PROUD OF BEING A SCUMBAG BARBARIAN!? I think NOT. Latin genes are dominant, so we're still Latins. You go sleep in your cave now. Bye bye.

[metalhealth1980]

@SpadaccinoLuciano lol you are fucking stupid, just watch the documentary on the lombards, they took over the whole boot of italy, so face it you are a cracker. so just shut up a be proud.

[SpadaccinoLuciano]

@metalhealth1980 No, they arent. You Crackers just cant handle the fact taht youre too stupid to do anything on your own, so you steal from others. Next you'll be saying the Chinese are white. We'll still be laughing at you behind your backs, though, so keep playing the fool.

[metalhealth1980]

@SpadaccinoLuciano lol, there were tons of germanic people that went into italy, and it must have left a big mark on the population because and every italian i meet in person looks white. north africans are white people, so you are just kidding yourself.

[shortist2003]

@12345678909269 That is like asking whether or not Americans are white. It depends.

[SpadaccinoLuciano]

@12345678909269 You display the ignorance of whites that makes it clear you never should have risen above barbarian status.

[12345678909269]

@SpadaccinoLuciano Allright Allright, your not white we get it. Go back to Africa then

[SpadaccinoLuciano]

@12345678909269 Yes, but Latin genes are dominant, it would take several generations to "whiten" them, which is why most Spaniards, Southern French, and Italians are darker skinned with latin features. We're still Latin, and we're still not white.
