Forna Götar & Svear ¨ FORNA GÖTAR & SVEAR Ett sammandrag av källor hörande till Sveriges tidiga historia Lars Bägerfeldt Forna Götar och Svear 2 Forna Götar och Svear. Ett sammandrag av källor hörande till Sveriges tidiga historia. Lars Bägerfeldt Falköping 2011. 3 Förord Denna skrift är en sammanställning av många av de skrivna källor som kan användas för att skaffa sig en uppfattning om Sveriges tidiga historia fram till 1200-talets slut. Avsikten är att snabbt få en uppfattning om vilka källor som finns och vad de har att berätta. Från början gjorde jag detta för min egen skull, varpå materialet växte fram från mina första studier i början av 1980-talet och var i princip färdig 20 år senare. De texter som berör goterna och den äldsta historien fram till folkvand- ringstiden har redan sammanställts, redigerats och givits ut. Den som är intresserad kan söka efter boken Längs Gotiska Vägar. En stor del av de berörda texterna i den skriften omfattar händelser ute i Europa och tiden fram till 500- talet. De källor som återstår omfattar främst skandinaviska händelser och tiden efter 500-talet. Någon skarp gräns mellan dessa delar finns inte. En motsvarande bearbetning är inte utförd för dessa källor i föreliggande arbete, utan ska ses som ett utkast eller kort och gott en personlig sammanfatt- ning för att snabbt kunna repetera och kontroller enstaka uppgifter. Den som är mer intresserad än vad denna skrift kan ge svar på får vända sig till andra avskrifter och sammanställningar eller originaltexter. Många gånger kan det också vara värdefullt med olika forskares kommentarer och åsikter, vilka bara sparsamt återfinns i texten nedan.

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.

  • Beowulf to Ancient Greece: It Is T^E First Great Work of a Nationai Literature
    \eowulf is to England what Hcmer's ///ac/ and Odyssey are Beowulf to ancient Greece: it is t^e first great work of a nationai literature. Becwulf is the mythical and literary record of a formative stage of English civilization; it is also an epic of the heroic sources of English cuitu-e. As such, it uses a host of tra- ditional motifs associated with heroic literature all over the world. Liks most early heroic literature. Beowulf is oral art. it was hanaes down, with changes, and embe'lishrnents. from one min- strel to another. The stories of Beowulf, like those of all oral epics, are traditional ones, familiar to tne audiences who crowded around the harp:st-bards in the communal halls at night. The tales in the Beowulf epic are the stories of dream and legend, of monsters and of god-fashioned weapons, of descents to the underworld and of fights with dragons, of the hero's quest and of a community threat- ened by the powers of evil. Beowulf was composed in Old English, probably in Northumbria in northeast England, sometime between the years 700 and 750. The world it depicts, however, is much older, that of the early sixth century. Much of the material of the poem is based on early folk legends—some Celtic, some Scandinavian. Since the scenery de- scribes tne coast of Northumbna. not of Scandinavia, it has been A Celtic caldron. MKer-plateci assumed that the poet who wrote the version that has come down i Nl ccnlun, B.C.). to us was Northumbrian.

  • The Nordic Cross Flag: Crusade and Conquest April 22, 2020 Show Transcript
    Season 1, Episode 5: The Nordic Cross Flag: Crusade and Conquest April 22, 2020 Show Transcript Welcome back to another episode of Why the Flag?, the show that explores the stories behind the flags, and how these symbols impact our world, our histories, and ourselves. I’m Simon Mullin. On the last episode, we discussed the Y Ddraig Goch – the red dragon flag of Wales – and the deep historical and mythological origins of the red dragon on a green and white ground. We traveled back nearly 2,000 years to the Roman conquest of Britannia and the introduction of the dragon standard to the British Isles by the Iranian-Eastern European Sarmatian cavalry stationed at Hadrian’s Wall. We explored how the dragon was adopted by the Roman army as a standard, and after their withdrawal from Britannia, its mythological rise as the symbol of Uther Pendragon and King Arthur, and then its resurrection by Henry VII – whose 15th Century battle standard closely resembles the flag of Wales we see today. National mythology plays a significant role in shaping our identities and how we see ourselves as a community and as a people. And, as we found in episode 4, these mythologies are instrumental in shaping how we design and emotionally connect to our national flags. We’re going to continue this theme about the cross-section of history, mythology, and national identity on the episode today as we discuss the rise of the Nordic Cross, a symbol that shapes the flags of all eight Nordic and Scandinavian countries today, and rules over nearly 28 million citizens speaking 15 distinct languages.

  • The Cimbri of Denmark, the Norse and Danish Vikings, and Y-DNA Haplogroup R-S28/U152 - (Hypothesis A)
    The Cimbri of Denmark, the Norse and Danish Vikings, and Y-DNA Haplogroup R-S28/U152 - (Hypothesis A) David K. Faux The goal of the present work is to assemble widely scattered facts to accurately record the story of one of Europe’s most enigmatic people of the early historic era – the Cimbri. To meet this goal, the present study will trace the antecedents and descendants of the Cimbri, who reside or resided in the northern part of the Jutland Peninsula, in what is today known as the County of Himmerland, Denmark. It is likely that the name Cimbri came to represent the peoples of the Cimbric Peninsula and nearby islands, now called Jutland, Fyn and so on. Very early (3rd Century BC) Greek sources also make note of the Teutones, a tribe closely associated with the Cimbri, however their specific place of residence is not precisely located. It is not until the 1st Century AD that Roman commentators describe other tribes residing within this geographical area. At some point before 500 AD, there is no further mention of the Cimbri or Teutones in any source, and the Cimbric Cheronese (Peninsula) is then called Jutland. As we shall see, problems in accomplishing this task are somewhat daunting. For example, there are inconsistencies in datasources, and highly conflicting viewpoints expressed by those interpreting the data. These difficulties can be addressed by a careful sifting of diverse material that has come to light largely due to the storehouse of primary source information accessed by the power of the Internet. Historical, archaeological and genetic data will be integrated to lift the veil that has to date obscured the story of the Cimbri, or Cimbrian, peoples.

The essay deals with an aspect of these poems, which I has not, so far as know, been treated systematically by- anyone who has previously written on the subject. Thus, in the absence of any model, I have had to work on independent lines, especially as regards the grouping and arrangement of different traditions, and the method of discussion followed in the several chapters. The actual arrangement has been adopted for convenience of discus sion, according to the nationality of the persons concerned, except in cases where a particular section forms a complete epic narrative with a personal (as opposed to a national) interest of its own: in these cases the tradition has been discussed under the heading of the poem in which it is contained, or that of the character round whom the narrative centres.

  • At Jómi Och Jómsborg: Slaviska Namn I Fornnordiska Källor? En Etymologisk Undersökning
    UPPSALA UNIVERSITET C-UPPSATS Institutionen för nordiska språk Svenska språket/Nordiska språk C Ht 2009 Aleksandra Petrulevich Rundelsgränd 6A 753 12 UPPSALA [email protected] At Jómi och Jómsborg: slaviska namn i fornnordiska källor? En etymologisk undersökning Handledare: Staffan Nyström Institutionen för nordiska språk Sammanfattning I denna uppsats undersöks ett flertal ortnamnsformer som förekommer i olika tyska, slaviska och skandinaviska källor och betecknar ett och samma ställe, nämligen staden Wolin belägen på sydspetsen av ön Wolin i polska Pommern. Syftet med arbetet är dels att fastställa etymologin av två av Wolin-namnen, at Jómi och Jómsborg, dels att förklara hur alla ortnamnsformer som betecknar staden Wolin hänger ihop och bestämma vilka faktorer som orsakade en sådan namnmångfald. Undersökningens material utgörs framför allt av de Wolin-namnformer som förekommer i de skandinaviska och de med dessa relaterade tyska källorna. Materialet analyseras i stort sett enligt den traditionella namntolkningsmetoden. Det visar sig att formen at Jómi sannolikt härstammar från det pommerska naturnamnet *Jǫma (˂ jǫma f. ’grop; dike’) som betecknade Stora bukten, en del av Szczecinbukten. Sammansättningen Jómsborg är en sekundär form som bildats från at Jómi enligt standardmodellen: dat. (at) Jómi > gen. Jóms + efterleden -borg. Alla ortnamnsformer som betecknar staden Wolin i primära källor är relaterade till varandra: vissa av dem är etymologiskt besläktade, vissa endast ”referentiellt”, dvs. de betecknar ett och samma ställe. Uppkomsten av ett så stort antal Wolin-ortnamnsformer kan i första hand förklaras genom att formerna i fråga har olika ursprung, att det fanns olika namnbrukarkretsar som använde olika former för att hänvisa till samma stad och att det uppstod olika stavningsvarianter och sammansatta namn under de primära formernas senare utveckling.
