  • The Testimony of the Hoofprints: Danish Legends About the Medieval Union Queen Margrethe
    John Lindow 2021: The Testimony of the Hoofprints: Danish Legends about the Medieval Union Queen Margrethe. Ethnologia Europaea 51(1): 137–155. DOI: https://doi.org/10.16995/ee.1899 The Testimony of the Hoofprints Danish Legends about the Medieval Union Queen Margrethe John Lindow, University of California, Berkeley, United States, [email protected] Barbro Klein’s “The Testimony of the Button” is still, fifty years after it appeared, a fundamental study of legends and legend scholarship. Inspired by Klein’s article, I analyze legends about “lord and lady” Margrethe (1353–1412), who reigned for decades as the effective ruler of the medieval union of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Proceeding through various groups of related legends, I show how these legends were adapted to Margrethe’s anomalous status as a female war leader, including their cross-fertilization with robber legends and the use of a ruse usually associated with male protagonists. This article ends by indicating the importance of place within history as articulated in legends.

  • Towards the Kalmar Union
    S P E C I A L I Z E D A G E N C I E S TOWARDS THE KALMAR UNION Dear Delegates, Welcome to the 31st Annual North American Model United Nations 2016 at the University of Toronto! On behalf of all of the staff at NAMUN, we welcome you to the Specialized Agency branch of the conference. I, and the rest of the committee staff are thrilled to have you be a delegate in Scandinavia during the High Middle Ages, taking on this challenging yet fascinating topic on the futures of the three Scandinavian Kingdoms in a time of despair, poverty, dependence and competitiveness. This will truly be a new committee experience, as you must really delve into the history of these Kingdoms and figure out how to cooperate with each other without sending everyone into their demise. To begin, in the Towards the Kalmar Union Specialized Agency, delegates will represent influential characters from Denmark, Norway and Sweden, which include prominent knights, monarchs, nobles, and important religious figures who dominate the political, military and economic scenes of their respective Kingdoms. The impending issues that will be discussed at the meeting in Kalmar, Sweden include the future of the Danish and Norwegian crowns after the death of the sole heir to the thrones, Olaf II. Here, two distant relatives to Valdemar IV have a claim to the throne and delegates will need to decide who will succeed to the throne. The second order of business is to discuss the growing German presence in Sweden, especially in major economic cities.

  • Learning from Scandinavia's Game of Thrones
    Learning from Scandinavia’s By John Bechtel, Freelance Writerr either heritage nor history are boring, arcane subjects best suited for Heritage is about memories and identities; it seductively promises to aging seniors with nothing better to do than take dreamy trips down answer the question, where do I belong? Heritage is about geography and nostalgia lane. The only thing that can be said to be boring about topography and landscapes of the familiar; it is about emotional attachments to history from time to time is its teachers, who fail to communicate that history land and language and places; it is about our personal history and experiences does in fact repeat itself, its lessons lost upon successive generations who with such places and things, especially from an early age. But our attitudes and cannot remember yesteryear’s unkept political promises and failed ideologies. longings are also affected by others, outsiders, who may visit but who never lived it, who have other memories of other places. Both the insider’s viewpoint History is a living art; what we do, think, and act out today is tomorrow’s and the tourist’s perceptions can be valuable, because there is a certain amount history. How can that be boring? History is about taking nothing for granted, of mythmaking and whitewashing in all heritage stories. To truly benefit making no assumptions about the present or the future. History is an antidote from our heritage, we need to do more than romanticize the past. We need to to overconfidence by today’s ideologues. History is about insatiable curiosity experience it as closely as possible to the way it was to live it, not just by the about how we got to where we are, and the interplay of ideas, people—human elites of the day, but at all levels of society.

And sometimes they say something back to me. This is not as strange as it sounds, nor is it an unheard of thing. Before maps the world was limitless. It was maps that gave it shape and made it seem like territory, like something that could be posses- sed, not just laid waste and plundered. Maps made places on the edges of the imagination seem graspable and placable.” Abdulrazak Gurnah, By the Sea This summer’s group exhibition at Kalmar konstmuseum takes its point of departure in demarcation lines and in the maps, networks, contexts and identities that can arise in a society in times of migration and refugee ship. Artists have challenged ideas about identity and belonging in all times and can give us new perspectives on questions of place and mobility. “When the Berlin Wall came down in 1989 there were 16 large border barriers between territories world- wide. Today there are 65 of them, either already existing or under construction.” This can be read in an article from the TT News Agency, from the end of last year. Meanwhile, there are almost 60 million refugees in the world. Many historical maps are artworks in themselves. Some maps have changed how we look upon the world. Other maps have been used in warfare, or as tools in the hands of colonial powers.

  • Sweden, Norway & Denmark Information
    Sweden, Norway & Denmark Information Sweden, Norway and Denmark are highlighted by charming, pristine cities, spectacular fjords, and a smorgasbord of cultural traditions. From Viking lore to pop culture icons and unmatched hospitality, these Nordic lands are sure to enthrall and delight. And with surroundings as serene as this, you’ll come to understand how they became host to the world’s most revered peace prize. History As merchant seamen, well known for their far-reaching trade, the Nordic Vikings dominated Europe in the eighth and ninth centuries. Many historians credit the Vikings with the first European discovery of the Americas, with the exploits of Leif Ericsson around 1000. In 1397, Queen Margaret of Denmark united Sweden (which included Finland), Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Greenland and other territories into the Kalmar Union. Tension within the countries gradually led to open conflict and the union split in the early sixteenth century. A long-lived rivalry ensued with Norway and Denmark on one side and Sweden and Finland on the other. During the seventeenth century, Sweden-Finland emerged as a great power. Its contributions during the Thirty Years’ War under Gustavus Adolphus determined the political, as well as religious, balance of power in Europe. At its zenith in 1658, Sweden ruled several provinces of Denmark, as well as parts of present-day Germany, Russia, Estonia and Latvia. In 1813, Sweden joined the allies against Napoleon, which resulted in the acquisiton of Norway from Denmark (an ally of Napoleon). The merger lasted until 1905, when Norway peaceably gained its independence. Sweden has not participated in any war in almost two centuries.

  • Language and Culture in Norway
    LANGUAGE AND CULTURE IN NORWAY EVAMAAGER0 Vestfold University College, Faculty of Education, Tjilnsberg (Noruega) PRESENTACIÓN Eva Maagerjil es profesora de lengua de la Universidad de Vestfold en Noruega. La Universidad de Valencia tiene establecido con esta universidad un convenio de intercambio de alumnos y profesores dentro del programa Sócrates-Erasmus. En este contexto hemos entablado relaciones prometedoras con profesores del área de lengua y literatura de dicha institución y estamos estudiando la puesta en marcha de un grupo conjunto de trabajo en tomo al bilingüismo. En una reciente visita a Valencia la profesora Maagerjil impartió una conferen­ cia sobre la diversidad lingüística y cultural en Noruega y su tratamiento en la escuela. En Noruega conviven diversos dialectos orales del noruego junto con dos versiones oficiales de lengua escrita y dos lenguas no indoeuropeas de las minorías étnicas lapona y finlandesa, a las que hay que añadir las múltiples len­ guas de las minorías de inmigrantes. El interés del tema, la singularidad del caso noruego y la oportunidad de estar preparando este número monográfico de Lenguaje y textos nos movieron a pedirle un artículo para incluir en nuestra revista. Creemos que puede constituir una interesante contribución al debate en tomo al tratamiento de la diversidad lingüística y cultural. Departamento de Didáctica de la Lengua y la Literatura.

  • 'King of Sweden, the Götar and the Wends'... What About the Finns
    ‘King of Sweden, the Götar and the Wends’... What about the Finns?: Investigating Finland’s absence from Swedish royal titulature in medieval and Early Modern Sweden Caroline Wilhelmsson University of Aberdeen Abstract: This article is about Swedish royal titulature and Finland’s absence from it. It is concerned with understanding why Finland, which was officially integrated into the Swedish kingdom in the thirteenth century, was never acknowledged in the short form of the Swedish royal title although others were, despite not being officially Swedish subjects. The article looks at the development of early medieval royal titles, including their meaning, and the context of their introduction and use. It then proposes several theories to try and address Finland’s lack of representation. These hypotheses require an investigation of alternative historical definitions of some of the ethnonyms used in royal titulature, and revaluate our understanding of Finland’s relationship with Sweden in the medieval and Early Modern periods. The study concludes that while a definite answer cannot be given, Finland’s native population might have been eclipsed from public view by the cultural Swedish elite. In addition, a historically negative reputation may have encouraged its exclusion from royal honours. It is also possible that Finland was included under a different terminology born out of the Early Modern Period’s reinterpretation of the past. Finally, evidence points to Finland being treated as its own entity separate from the rest of the kingdom. 46 Wilhelmsson, ‘Investigating Finland’s Absence from Sweden’s Royal Titulature’ 1. INTRODUCTION Upon his accession to the throne in 1973, the current Swedish monarch, Carl XVI Gustaf, altered his official title to become known only as ‘King of Sweden’.1 Until then, the monarch’s official, shortened title had traditionally been ‘(By God’s grace) King of Sweden, the Götar and the Wends’.2 Unsurprisingly, royal titles in Sweden have not always been the same throughout the centuries.
