Скачать или смотреть The Viking Island TRAP | Battle of the Dyle 891 | A GoodKnight Story for Sleep

In 891 A.D., near Leuven in the Low Countries, a Frankish army under King Arnulf confronted the Viking Great Army on a fortified island in the flooded Dyle River, where rising water and marshland shaped every decision.
This GoodKnight story explores the Battle of the Dyle, a rare moment in medieval warfare when a river became a weapon and a natural fortress turned into a deadly trap.

Confident that mud, marsh, and swelling floodwaters made their position untouchable, the Vikings believed no Christian army would dare assault their island stronghold. But under Arnulf of Carinthia, the Franks defied tradition, dismounted their cavalry, and advanced on foot through water and mire, turning the river itself into an instrument of destruction.

Walk beside our silver-armored GoodKnight as discipline and heavy armor collide with ferocity and desperation, as ramparts are breached, longships burned, and thousands of Northmen are driven into the flooded waters they trusted for protection. Chroniclers would later write that the bodies of the dead clogged the flow of the Dyle itself.

Told with calm, measured narration and immersive medieval atmosphere, this long-form historical journey is designed for sleep, deep focus, or quiet reflection. Slow pacing, evocative detail, and grounded history carry you through one of the most haunting and decisive defeats of the Viking Age.
