Jul 7, 2008 - Harold Godwinson and William were from the same stock as the Danes but neither were Norse both were Christian not Pagan.The music to this film is inappropriate.Fallen vikings went to Asgard first not Vanhalla.Before the battle of Hastings, Harold defeated Harald at the battle of Stamford Bridge and with his defeat ,the last viking army was banished from these lands ,so perhaps your song should be devoted to the fallen at Stamford Bridge .(although they were no longer Pagan themselves)

Jul 7, 2008 - "The music to this film is inappropriate."- You mean the lyrics. I know history but this video is about Harold and Hastings not vikings. I like Manowar so I have chosen their music because they sing about warriors ethos. Their song in this movie is a metaphor. That was my intention:) There is no Manowar's lyrics about Hastings :(

Jul 7, 2008 - dude... read up on wikipedia. William is decanted of King rollo from møre a small place in Norway, at that time viking norse. He raided the franks often and made a deal with the frank king Charlemagne that he would stop the raiding and become a vassal under Charlemagne and the duke of Normandy

jupes70 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - SetherenRollo's origins have been the matter of debate between Danish and Norwegien/Icelandic historians for many years.While I should have said William is of either Danish or Norwegian stock it was wrong to say he is Danish in origin it is also wrong to say he is definitavly of Norwegian stock

Jul 7, 2008 - While I agree the theme of the song isn't entirely fitting, it is still an excellent music video, and I enjoyed it. Good work, Merlin. Harold Godwinson and Hereward the Wake are true English heroes!

yeahbuddy2 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Correction, Charlemagne was dead by Rollo's time. It was Charles III the Simple who sold Normandy to Rollo.

Jul 7, 2008 - I think a tribute shouls be made of the last Saxon King, Egbert,he was put on the throne whilst William made his way to London, he spent his life trying to get his throne back. He died at over 80 yrs of age

Jul 7, 2008 - It's a part of a movie which you can see on the museum's exhibition in town Battle (where battle of Hasting took place)

MerlinMenOuoR Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - that's right. I admire him. He's life was a constant struggle.
