Viking Dead

History Documentary hosted by Jeremy Freeston, published by UKTV in 2018 - English narration



Information
------------------------------

Welcome to a world of secret graves, mysterious death ships, newly-discovered skeletons, missing fortresses, and lost Long Ships. In this series, leading archaeologist Tim Sutherland travels to Scandinavia, Estonia, Britain and beyond to get new insights into the world of those they called the North Men - The Vikings. Sutherland follows the trail of the Vikings and tries to solve many of the legendary mysteries surrounding the warriors from the north. He is investigating gruesome raids such as the one on Lindisfarne in 793 AD and discovering ship graves off Estonia that reveal violent warrior burials.
From around 700AD to the Norman conquest of England in 1066, the Vikings of the Nordic lands raided and traded across northern, central, eastern and western Europe to create a feared and notorious empire. Now, almost two millennia after their often-terrifying reign, Yesterday uses the modern age to uncover secrets from the Viking Age. By investigating burial sites, The Viking Dead asks who the Norsemen really were, what the truth was about the raids and battles, and what every-day life in a Viking settlement entailed.

1)  The First Viking Raid on Lindisfarne
The First Viking Raid: Lindisfarne was a peaceful, holy island, until the Vikings arrived. Tim Sutherland joins archaeologists as they uncover the realities of the Viking raid.
In 793, Scandinavian sailors reached the island of Lindisfarne. They brutally plundered the monastery there and murdered the clergy. This raid is considered to be the beginning of the Viking Age. In the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, written a century later, it is said that pagans murdered wildly and plundered without hindrance. Archaeologists want to substantiate the historical description of the catastrophe with material evidence and find ancient bones. The excavation team cleared the surface of stones and found various bone fragments and several skulls in a lower layer - almost everything was in disarray. But there were also finds of skeletons, which could indicate a Christian burial. Carbon dating shows that they come from the early Middle Ages and therefore fit into the Viking Age. Are these dead victims of the first raid on Lindisfarne?
