PuTNAM'S SONS, 1<)00 (For tbe United States of America) TO · CHRISTIAN BORS KNIGHT OF ST, OLAF, WASA, AND THE NORTH STAR, CONSUL OF NORWAY AND· SWEDEN IN NEW YORK, THIS HISTORY OF HIS NATIVE LAND IS DEDICATED BY HIS FRIEND THE AUTHOR PUBLISHER'S NOTE IN issuing an edition for t~e Story of the Nations Series of Boyesen's " Norway " the publisher is very sensible of the loss he sustains in· the fact . t~at the gifted author is no longer alive to revise and com­ plete the work. A concluding chapter bringing the modern history-political and literary-up to the present time has, however, been supplied by the kindness of Mr. C. F. Keary, author of the "Vikings in \Vestern Christendom," and other works connected with Norse history and literature, as well. as of numerous works in other fields. Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen was born at Frederiksvarn in Norway, on the 23rd of September, 1848, and received his education in his mother country. He graduated at the University of Christi<.>,nia in 1868, and the year following he emigrated . to America, which was to be henceforth his home. He was appointed Professor of German at Cornell University in 1874, and retained that post till 1880, when he became Gebhard Professor of German and of Scan­ dinavian Literature at Columbia College, New York. Arriving in America with an adequate knowledge of the language, he soon became a proficient in English, and began to write in that language. Hi~ first and best known novel, "Gunnar : a Tale of xi xii PUBLISHER'S NOTE Norse Life," was published the year of his election to the Cornell professorship ; and from that time till his death he wrote voluminously, essays, novels, short stories, and poems. "Idylls of Norway" is the title of his book of verses; "Gunnar" and " Falcon berg" are· two of his novels; ·"Tales from Two Hemi­ spheres," "Norseland Tales," and "Ilka on the Hilltip," &c. (the last is the best known of the three), are among his collections of short stories ; and his essays <?n " Goethe and Schiller," and on "Scan­ dimivian Literature,"· are the most important of his literary studies. It has not been thought advisable-and it certainly was not necessary-to make any material changes in the body of the book as in its latest edition (1897) it left ·the author's hands shortly before his death. B9yesen ·professedly followed in this history very strictly the Saga literature of his own country ; and there are necessarily some points in which these narratives come in conflict with the chronicles of other lands or give a somewhat different complexion to the facts J:han they do.. The account of the Battle of Stamford Bridge may be cited as a case in point. But, in the first place, such instances are few ; and in the second place, the high value of the Saga literature of Norway precludes all attempt to find any substitute for it for the history of Scandinavia. The revision of the ·text has therefore been confined to a few verbal alterations .and the modernisation of one or two names. PREFACE. IT has been my ambition for many years to write a history of Norway, chiefly because no such book, worthy of the name, exists in the English language. When the publishers of the present volume proposed to me to write the story of my native ~and, I there. fore eagerly accepted their offer. The story, how· ever, according to their plan, was to differ in some important respects from a regular history. It was to dwell particularly upon the dramatic phases of his­ torical events, and concern itself but slightly with the growth of institutions and sociological phenomena. It therefore necessarily takes small account of pro­ portion. In the present volume more spa~e is given to the national hero, Olaf Tryggvesson, whose brief reign was crowded with dramatic even~s, than to kings who reigned ten times as long. For the same reason the four centuries of the-Union with Denmark are treated with comparative brevity. Many thing happened, no doubt, during those cen­ turies, but "there were few deeds." Moreover, the separate history of Norway, in the time of her degra­ dation, has never proved an attractive theme to, xiii xiv THE STORY OF NORWAY. Norse historians, for which reason the period has been generally neglected. · The principal sources of which I have availed my­ self in the preparation of the present volume, are Snorre Sturlasson : Norges Kongesagaer (Christiania, 1859, 2 vols.); P. A. Munch: Det NorskeFolks Hi's­ tort'e (Christiania, 1852, 6 vols.); R. Keyser: Efter­ ladte Skrifter (Christ!ania, 1866, 2 vols.); Samlede Afhandlinger (1868); J. E. Sars: Udsi'gt O'l'er den Norske. Historic (Christiania, 1877, 2 vols.); K. Maurer: Di'e Bekelzrung des 'Norwegischen Stammes ·zum Chri'stenthume (Miinchen, 1856, 2 vols.), and Di'e Entstehung des Isliindi'schen Staatcs (M finch en, I 8 52); G. Vigfusson: Sturlunga Saga(Oxford, 1878,2 vols.); and Um tfmatal { Islmdinga sogum i fornold (con­ tained in Safn til sogu Islands, 1855); G. Storm: Snorre Sturlasson's Hz'stori'eskri'vning (Kjobenhavn, 1878): C. F. Allen: Haandbogi' Ftedrelandets Hz'storze (Kjobenhavn, 1863); besides a large number of scat­ tered articles in German and Scandinavian historical magazines. A question which has presented many difficulties is the spelling of proper names. To adopt in every i~stance the ancient Jceland\c form would scarcely be practicable, because the names in their mo<Jernized forms are usually familiar and easy to pronounce, while, in their Icelandic disguises, they are to English readers nearly unpronouncable, and present a needlessly forbidding appeatance. Where a name has no well-recognized English equivale.nt, I have therefore adopted the modern Norwegian form, which usually differs from the ancient, in having • dropped a final letter. Thus Sigurdr (which with an PREFACE. XV English genitive would be Sigurdr's) becomes in modern Norwegian Sigurd, Eirikr, Erik,etc. Those surnames, which are descriptive epithets, I have translated where they are easily translatable, tilUs writing Harold the Fairhaired, Haakon the Good, Olaf the Saint, etc. Absolute consistency would, however, give to some names a too cumbrous look, as, for instance, Einar the Twanger of' Thamb (Thamb being the name of his bow), and I have in such instances kept the Norse name (Thambars­ kelver). It is a pleasant duty to acknowledg~ my indebted­ ness for valuable criticism to my friends, E. Munroe Smith, J. U.D., Adjunct Professor of History in · Columbia College, and Hon.

  • Number Symbolism in Old Norse Literature
    Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Medieval Icelandic Studies Number Symbolism in Old Norse Literature A Brief Study Ritgerð til MA-prófs í íslenskum miðaldafræðum Li Tang Kt.: 270988-5049 Leiðbeinandi: Torfi H. Tulinius September 2015 Acknowledgements I would like to thank firstly my supervisor, Torfi H. Tulinius for his confidence and counsels which have greatly encouraged my writing of this paper. Because of this confidence, I have been able to explore a domain almost unstudied which attracts me the most. Thanks to his counsels (such as his advice on the “Blóð-Egill” Episode in Knýtlinga saga and the reading of important references), my work has been able to find its way through the different numbers. My thanks also go to Haraldur Bernharðsson whose courses on Old Icelandic have been helpful to the translations in this paper and have become an unforgettable memory for me. I‟m indebted to Moritz as well for our interesting discussion about the translation of some paragraphs, and to Capucine and Luis for their meticulous reading. Any fault, however, is my own. Abstract It is generally agreed that some numbers such as three and nine which appear frequently in the two Eddas hold special significances in Norse mythology. Furthermore, numbers appearing in sagas not only denote factual quantity, but also stand for specific symbolic meanings. This tradition of number symbolism could be traced to Pythagorean thought and to St. Augustine‟s writings. But the result in Old Norse literature is its own system influenced both by Nordic beliefs and Christianity. This double influence complicates the intertextuality in the light of which the symbolic meanings of numbers should be interpreted.

    Papers from the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences 14 Á austrvega Saga and East Scandinavia Preprint papers of The 14th International Saga Conference Uppsala, 9th–15th August 2009 Volume 2 Edited by Agneta Ney, Henrik Williams and Fredrik Charpentier Ljungqvist in cooperation with Marco Bianchi, Maja Bäckvall, Lennart Elmevik, Anne-Sofie Gräslund, Heimir Pálsson, Lasse Mårtensson, Olof Sundqvist, Daniel Sävborg and Per Vikstrand http://www.saga.nordiska.uu.se Gävle: Gävle University Press, 2009 Eymundr, Ingigerðr, Yngvarr enn víðförli, Anunder a Ruzzia: Swedish Princes in Russia in the 11th Century Savva Mikheev According to the epilogue of the Yngvars saga víðförla Yngvar was a grandson of Olaf Skötkonung. Fiodor Braun (1910) suggested that the protagonist of the saga was a son of Emund the Old, the elder son of Olaf Skötkonung. His hypothesis was based on the Swedish runic in- scriptions mentioning sons of Emund and brothers Anund, Eric, Hakon, Yngvar and Ragnar (U 513, U 540, Sö 279). Brauns supposition accounts for the scale of the Yngvar’s campaign. Many runestones erected in Svealand were dedicated to its participants. Elena Mel’nikova (1976) suggested that Yngvar’s campaign should be dated 1043 when Vladimir, son of Yaroslav the Wise and Ingigerd, Olafs daughter, attacked the Greeks. Yng- vars saga mentions a warrior named Valldimar. It seems that Yngvar and his brother-in-arms Vladimir were cousins. Eymundar þáttr Hringssonar as well as Yngvars saga describes a campaign in the East with the Scandinavians involved in it. After several battles Emund stays in Russia as a local king. According to the prologue of the Eymundar þáttr Emund had Norwegian origin.

His reign was marked by aggressive military campaigns and conquest, particularly in the Norse-dominated parts of the British Isles, where he extended his rule to the Kingdom of the Isles and Dublin. His daughter, Ragnhild, was born in 1090. As the only son of King Olaf Kyrre, Magnus was proclaimed king in southeastern Norway shortly after his father's death in 1093. In the north, his claim was contested by his cousin, Haakon Magnusson (son of King Magnus Haraldsson), and the two co-ruled uneasily until Haakon's death in 1095.
