the famous Danish king Knut, the king that ruled much of Scandinavia while he ruled England, he seemed to be creating this giant theoretically had it continue. You could have had this giant northern block of nations, right? He sort of the Nazis iconic dream of, you know, the Nordic peoples ruling over vast areas, but this Danish king's mother had the Nazis done the classifying would have been seen as an hunter mention, a subhuman. Knut's mom was from a Slavic people. She was the daughter of, well, you, my history books often say Polish king, but this predates the creation of a real Poland, but it's a Slavic king and Knut's parents married, uh, into a dynastic marriage. And that's the other thing you forget. It's not just people at the lower end of society, the slaves mixing their DNA into the gene pool, royal marriages of the sort that were famous a hundred, 200 years ago, where you would marry, you know, your son off to another king's daughter to try to cement a dynastic relationship that's been going on from time immemorial.
