On the Viking trail. After Steepholm, (see earlier post) we then went on the trail of Ubba, (9th-century Viking and one of the commanders of the Great Heathen Army that invaded Anglo-Saxon England in the 860s). He has two potential burial spots one is near 'Bloody Corner' Bideford, Devon or on Lundy Island in the Bristol Channel. On Lundy two unusual graves were discovered and It has been suggested that they are the graves of Vikings, those owing to the discovery of possible Viking glass beads. A visitor to the island has also suggested that the remains are of Danish origin. After the battle of Kenwith Castle in 894 the raven standard was taken and (H)Ubba slain. It was Danish custom to remove their dead and Lundy was the nearest point

This little Island in the Bristol Channel, UK is where my personal Viking odyssey really began. The Vikings took refuge on Steep Holm during the summer of 914 and then carried out raids on the coast of Somerset at Watchet and Porlock, according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. At the end of the 12th century, there was a small priory of Canons Regular of St Michael on the island. Since visiting there in 2022 i've made it my lifes mission to visit as many Viking 'territories' as possible......from small beginnings come epics!

I was thinking if Greenland did join the USA it would then mean it would be an actual FACT that the Vikings did settle in the USA!? 🤪🤣

From filming Amon Amarth's Saxons and Vikings

THE LONE VIKING AT STAMFORD BRIDGE (NORSE) The lone Viking was an unnamed berserker warrior who is remembered in the Viking sagas for his impressive last stand at the Battle of Stamford Bridge, between the Norwegian Vikings led by Harald Hardrada and the English army of Harold Godwinson. Taking place during the Viking invasion of England, Harald and his vikings were suddenly attacked by a large army led by Harold in an effort to free York from the occupation of the Vikings. Left unarmed and unprepared, Harald tried to regroup his surprised army and retreat back to form a defensive line. As they fall back, the only barrier standing between the English and the unprepared Vikings was a small wooden bridge. Unfortunately for the English, Harald sent his berserker to guard that bridge and buy Harald time to arm and ready his army. Filled with bloodlust by drinking his potion and praying to Odin, the berserker took on the whole English army only by himself (which numbered 15,000). The English charged the Viking to gain access to Harald Hadrada, but the berserker killed many of them with his great axe and sword. He held the bridge for a considerable amount of time, and killed over 40 English soldier single-handedly. The berserker however, finally succumbed to the English when a soldier rowed to the bottom of the bridge, and stabbed the viking in the groin, mortally wounding him. The Vikings were soon defeated when the English poured into their position. His sacrifice was in vain, as Harald Hadrada and many of his vikings were soon slain afterwards, marking the end of the Viking Age. https://hubpages.com/education/The-Lone-Viking-Warrior-on-Stamford-Bridge https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Stamford_Bridge
