Comments about certain points in the video.

0:23 - These aren't the actual crests of the families.

2:40 - Although to be fair trading with the English wasn't always smooth sailing.

4:44 - It use to be so much colder in the past then today that the Themes flowing through London would freeze over and markets where set on top of it.

6:25 - Some Icelandic nationalists (the Fjölnir group) did not want Reykjavík as the location for the newly established Althing due to the perception that the city was too much influenced by Danes.

10:52 - There where actually 4 parts to the cod wars, each pertaining to a different part in the conflict but they all ended in the Icelandic victory.
