I hope you appreciate the work we put into this committee and really make this committee your own. We tried to leave it as open ended as possible, I hope to see some collaboration among the members of the Alliance. As for my expectations for the committee, I neither expect nor want this to follow history in any way; however, I expect you to follow your character’s positions, and stay in character. I know the background guide and blurbs might be a bit confusing so if you have any questions at all, do not hesitate to shoot me an email. Outside of CMUNC, I am a Senior studying Materials Science and Engineering with minors in Thai and Sustainable Energy Systems. In addition to the Cornell International Affairs Society (CIAS), I am an Engineering Ambassador and I am involved in Swing Dance, the Food Recovery Network, and Engineers for a Sustainable World. Within CIAS I have competed in three Model UN competitions, and staffed four. I also was fortunate enough to visit China as a director for WEMUN, a high school model UN competition in Beijing, China. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions about CMUNC, college, or life in general. I am so excited to see what innovative ideas you will bring to the committee. Best of luck to all of you! Amanda Amornwichet The Viking Age Chair CMUNC 2021 4 From Your Vice Chair Dear Delegates, My name is Byron Sleight and I will be your Vice Chair for this committee. I hope you appreciate the work we put into this committee and hope that you will make it your own and hopefully learn some fun facts along the way. This is my first conference but not my first rodeo. After many years of hanging out and befriending most members of CIAS as Ben Inbar’s “zany” roommate, I have decided to participate in the legendary CMUNC. I look forward to sharing my love of Old Norse culture with all of you via this background guide, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Outside of CIAS I am a senior graduating this spring with a degree in physics, and after graduation plan on attending graduate school pursuing research in the field of quantum computing. I also may have accidentally obtained a minor in Astronomy. Around campus, I’m known for being the former president of Libertarians at Cornell and an undergraduate physics TA. I enjoy working out, hiking, and playing the drums. The Crisis Director, Chair, and I have started a band this semester and currently have a punk inspired cover of the classic indie track “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” in the works. I also hold the distinction of being the biggest Weezer fan here at Cornell, so if anyone has some hot takes about the Blue Album or any other of their fantastic albums please share them with me. Feel free to ask me any questions about Viking-Age Norway, politics, life, Weezer, or any aspect of our boundless but finite universe, feel free to send me a message. I hope you have as much fun as I am writing this! Bryan Sleight The Viking Age Vice Chair CMUNC 2021 5 From Your Crisis Director Dear Delegates, My name is Ben Inbar and it is my honor and pleasure to welcome you to CMUNC. I am a senior studying Mechanical Engineering and minoring in the Environment and Sustainability and History. Next year I am gonna be starting my Master’s of Engineering here at Cornell. Model UN has been a part of my life for the past 8 years ever since I joined my high school’s team for its inaugural year in 2013. Quickly being drawn to the faster paced Specialized and Crisis committees I went from being unsure if MUN was for me, to a seasoned and experienced Crisis delegate. I am now so incredibly excited to be able to give all of you the opportunity to debate, backstab, scheme, and compromise in what are truly some of the best and most imaginative committees I have ever been a part of creating. I joined the Cornell International Affairs Society my freshman year and it has quickly grown from something I did every Wednesday to an integral part of my Cornell experience. I have staffed Star Wars JCCs and AdHocs, Chaired and CD’ed committees ranging from the liberation and creation of Gran Colombia to a look into the fictional universe of Jurassic Park. I have also served on the secretariat of our Collegiate Conference as a USG, the Director General and this coming year as Secretary General. I am hoping to bring my experience and knowledge of MUN to all of my committees in order to make sure each and every one of you can have the same incredible experiences that I have had as a travelling delegate. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions about CMUNC, your committee, life, help with your Algebra II homework, or anything else you may need (Just put CMUNC - Vikings - Your Position Name). I love hearing from my delegates and since I won’t get to meet you all in person this year I would love any chance to get to meet all of you. Can’t wait to go raiding with you this April. Ben Inbar The Viking Age Crisis Director CMUNC 2021 6 Introduction As a short overview, please watch this video on the Vikings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc5zUK2MKNY The Vikings lived in Northern Europe, in a region called Scandinavia. The modern countries of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland compromise Scandinavia. About one quarter of the Scandinavian Peninsula, Europe’s largest peninsula, is located within the Arctic Circle. Various large bodies of water including the Baltic Sea, the Norwegian Sea, the Barents Sea, and the North Sea surround the peninsula. While hazardous ice flows threaten to wreck most ships which venture into these waters, the Vikings could navigate these waters without fear of destruction. A mountain range divides the Peninsula, creating a rough border between Sweden and Norway. Map of Scandinavia (Wikimedia Commons) At this time (800 A.D.), Scandinavia’s usable natural resources included timber, iron and copper. Southern Sweden contained the best spots of arable 7 land, where farming could occur. Many islands sat in the Baltic Sea, offering resources and potential opportunities for trade to many travelers. However, settlers who wanted to live and farm these islands could face a distinct possibility of flooding, making living in this area difficult. Hunter-gatherer tribes settled early Scandinavia and roamed the region. Soon enough, these people developed herding and farming techniques and communities in the Germanic Bronze Age. These civilizations gained complexity during the Iron Age. The Iron Age in Northern Europe had three phases: pre- Roman, Roman, and Germanic. During the time of the Roman Empire, the Scandinavian tribes barely made contact with the Romans. After Rome’s fall in 476 A.D., these tribes acquired Roman gold from other Germanic tribes who sacked Rome and brought their loot north. At this point in time, the Vikings most often lived as farmers, hunters, and fur trappers. A Reconstructed Lojsta Hall, from the Iron Age, in Sweden. (Wikimedia Commons) Looking to the era of the committee, the Vikings have amassed more power in the region, and have begun raids on the British Isles. In 793, longships 8 arrived at Lindisfarne in England and raided the monastery, claiming gold, jewels, books, and art for themselves. The Vikings murdered several monks and burned buildings to the ground. This only begins these types of adventures and the Vikings stand ready to take much wealth and excellent farmland. However, the tribes must band together in order to attain these unimaginable riches. You, the Viking clan leaders, stand on the precipice of power, fortune, and notoriety. A summit has been called, and will meet in the next year (800 A.D., the starting point for the committee) to discuss the possibility of inter-tribe alliances for greater conquest and control of Europe. Each of you must know the interests of his clan, and pursue them ruthlessly in search of glory and the favor of the gods. The rest of Europe sits weakly by, full of wealth, and ripe for the taking! May each of you find fortune on your voyages. Raids The Vikings considered raiding an honorable challenge to fight. The mainland would often know in advance of an incoming raid, and would prepare to retaliate and fight to defend their belongings.

  • The Influence of Old Norse on the English Language
    Antonius Gerardus Maria Poppelaars HUSBANDS, OUTLAWS AND KIDS: THE INFLUENCE OF OLD NORSE ON THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE HUSBANDS, OUTLAWS E KIDS: A INFLUÊNCIA DO NÓRDICO ANTIGO NA LÍNGUA INGLESA Antonius Gerardus Maria Poppelaars1 Abstract: What have common English words such as husbands, outlaws and kids and the sentence they are weak to do with Old Norse? Yet, all these examples are from Old Norse, the Norsemen’s language. However, the Norse influence on English is underestimated as the Norsemen are viewed as barbaric, violent pirates. Also, the Norman occupation of England and the Great Vowel Shift have obscured the Old Norse influence. These topics, plus the Viking Age, the Scandinavian presence in England, as well as the Old Norse linguistic influence on English and the supposed French influence of the Norman invasion will be described. The research for this etymological article was executed through a descriptive- qualitative approach. Concluded is that the Norsemen have intensively influenced English due to their military supremacy and their abilities to adaptation. Even the French-Norman French language has left marks on English. Nowadays, English is a lingua franca, leading to borrowings from English to many languages, which is often considered as invasive. But, English itself has borrowed from other languages, maintaining its proper character. Hence, it is hoped that this article may contribute to a greater acknowledgement of the Norse influence on English and undermine the scepticism towards the English language as every language has its importance. Keywords: Old Norse Loanwords, English Language, Viking Age, Etymology. Resumo: O que têm palavras inglesas comuns como husbands, outlaws e kids e a frase they are weak a ver com os Nórdicos? Todos esses exemplos são do nórdico antigo, a língua dos escandinavos.

  • Saami and Scandinavians in the Viking
    Jurij K. Kusmenko Sámi and Scandinavians in the Viking Age Introduction Though we do not know exactly when Scandinavians and Sámi contact started, it is clear that in the time of the formation of the Scandinavian heathen culture and of the Scandinavian languages the Scandinavians and the Sámi were neighbors. Archeologists and historians continue to argue about the place of the original southern boarder of the Sámi on the Scandinavian peninsula and about the place of the most narrow cultural contact, but nobody doubts that the cultural contact between the Sámi and the Scandinavians before and during the Viking Age was very close. Such close contact could not but have left traces in the Sámi culture and in the Sámi languages. This influence concerned not only material culture but even folklore and religion, especially in the area of the Southern Sámi. We find here even names of gods borrowed from the Scandinavian tradition. Swedish and Norwegian missionaries mentioned such Southern Sámi gods such as Radien (cf. norw., sw. rå, rådare) , Veralden Olmai (<Veraldar goð, Frey), Ruona (Rana) (< Rán), Horagalles (< Þórkarl), Ruotta (Rota). In Lule Sámi we find no Scandinavian gods but Scandinavian names of gods such as Storjunkare (big ruler) and Lilljunkare (small ruler). In the Sámi languages we find about three thousand loan words from the Scandinavian languages and many of them were borrowed in the common Scandinavian period (550-1050), that is before and during the Viking Age (Qvigstad 1893; Sammallahti 1998, 128-129). The known Swedish Lapponist Wiklund said in 1898 »[...] Lapska innehåller nämligen en mycket stor mängd låneord från de nordiska språken, av vilka låneord de äldsta ovillkorligen måste vara lånade redan i urnordisk tid, dvs under tiden före ca 700 år efter Kristus.

This me� culously researched book inves� gates the nature and signifi cance of this golden-hilted weapon and its likely rela� ves within Beowulf and beyond, drawing on the fi elds of Old English and Old Norse language and literature, liturgy, archaeology, astronomy, folklore and compara� ve mythology. In Part I, Pe� t explores the complex of connota� ons surrounding this image (from icicles to candles and crosses) by examining a range of medieval sources, and argues that the giant sword may func� on as a visual mo� f in which pre-Chris� an Germanic concepts and prominent Chris� an symbols coalesce. In Part II, Pe� t inves� gates the broader Germanic background to this image, especially in rela� on to the god Ing/Yngvi-Freyr, and explores the capacity of myths to recur and endure across � me. Drawing on an eclec� c range of narra� ve and linguis� c evidence from Northern European texts, and on archaeological discoveries, Pe� t suggests that the T image of the giant sword, and the characters and events associated with it, may refl ect HE an elemental struggle between the sun and the moon, ar� culated through an underlying W myth about the the� and repossession of sunlight.

  • Wessex and the Reign of Edmund Ii Ironside
    Chapter 16 Wessex and the Reign of Edmund ii Ironside David McDermott Edmund Ironside, the eldest surviving son of Æthelred ii (‘the Unready’), is an often overlooked political figure. This results primarily from the brevity of his reign, which lasted approximately seven months, from 23 April to 30 November 1016. It could also be said that Edmund’s legacy compares unfavourably with those of his forebears. Unlike other Anglo-Saxon Kings of England whose lon- ger reigns and periods of uninterrupted peace gave them opportunities to leg- islate, renovate the currency or reform the Church, Edmund’s brief rule was dominated by the need to quell initial domestic opposition to his rule, and prevent a determined foreign adversary seizing the throne. Edmund conduct- ed his kingship under demanding circumstances and for his resolute, indefati- gable and mostly successful resistance to Cnut, his career deserves to be dis- cussed and his successes acknowledged. Before discussing the importance of Wessex for Edmund Ironside, it is con- structive, at this stage, to clarify what is meant by ‘Wessex’. It is also fitting to use the definition of the region provided by Barbara Yorke. The core shires of Wessex may be reliably regarded as Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Berk- shire and Hampshire (including the Isle of Wight).1 Following the victory of the West Saxon King Ecgbert at the battle of Ellendun (Wroughton, Wilts.) in 835, the borders of Wessex expanded, with the counties of Kent, Sussex, Surrey and Essex passing from Mercian to West Saxon control.2 Wessex was not the only region with which Edmund was associated, and nor was he the only king from the royal House of Wessex with connections to other regions.

  • Stefan Arnason's Lineage on His Father's Side
    Stefan Arnason’s lineage on his father’s side This is an edited and translated version of a lineage that Judith Fulford (née Arnason) got from the Íslendingabók (see glossary below). I’ve also combine this with information found in the Book of Settlements, the Sturlunga and Njall Sagas, and information on Geni. Please let me know if you spot any errors or other issues. (Jon) The idea was to take Stefan Arnason’s direct patrilineal line back as far as it would go –– a line of fathers and sons with the names highlighted in red. I’ve also added dates of key events in Iceland’s history to try to put some of these lives into the context of the times they lived in. 1 Stefan Arnason (1882 – 1956) Born: August 6, 1882.

ANGLO-SAXON COINS FOUND IN FINLAND BY C. A. NORDMAN HELSINGFORS 1921 HELSINOFORS 1921. PRINTED BY HOLGER SCHILDT . PREFACE. The late Mr. O. Alcenius had designs on a publication treating of the Anglo-Saxon coins found in Finland, and to this end he compiled a list of the same. One part of this list containing most of the coins of Aethelred, along with a short introduction, was printed already, but owing to some cause or other the issue of the essay was discontinued some time before the death of the author. Although the original list has not now been found fit for use, 'the investigations of Mr. Alcenius have anyhow been of good service for the composition of this paper. The list now appears in a revised and also completed form. Further on in this essay short descriptions of the coin types have been inserted before the list of the coins of each king, and there has been an attempt made to a chronological arrangement of the types. Mr. Alcenius also tried to fix the relative and absolute chronology of the coins of Aethelred, but I regret to say that I could not take the same point of view as he as to the sequence of the types.

  • Prose Edda Part 3: Pp
    Prose Edda Part 3: pp. 70-89 XLIX. Then spake Gangleri: "Have any more matters of note befallen among the Æsir? A very great deed of valor did Thor achieve on that journey." Hárr made answer: "Now shall be told of those tidings which seemed of more consequence to the Æsir. The beginning of the {p. 71} story is this, that Baldr the Good dreamed great and perilous dreams touching his life. When he told these dreams to the Æsir, then they took counsel together: and this was their decision: to ask safety for Baldr from all kinds of dangers. And Frigg took oaths to this purport, that fire and water should spare Baldr, likewise iron and metal of all kinds, stones, earth, trees, sicknesses, beasts, birds, venom, serpents. And when that was done and made known, then it was a diversion of Baldr's and the Æsir, that he should stand up in the Thing,[legislative assembly] and all the others should some shoot at him, some hew at him, some beat him with stones; but whatsoever was done hurt him not at all, and that seemed to them all a very worshipful thing. "But when Loki Laufeyarson saw this, it pleased him ill that Baldr took no hurt. He went to Fensalir to Frigg, and made himself into the likeness of a woman. Then Frigg asked if that woman knew what the Æsir did at the Thing. She said that all were shooting at Baldr, and moreover, that he took no hurt. Then said Frigg: 'Neither weapons nor trees may hurt Baldr: I have taken oaths of them all.' Then the woman asked: 'Have all things taken oaths to spare Baldr?' and Frigg answered: 'There grows a tree-sprout alone westward of Valhall: it is called Mistletoe; I thought it too young to ask the oath of.' Then straightway the woman turned away; but Loki took Mistletoe and pulled it up and went to the Thing.

Volume 120, No. 1 Journal March 2020 Hello Fellow Vikings, Chief’s Now that all the holidays are over, I’m hoping everyone is happy and healthy! Corner Some of you are enjoying sunny weather in the South, and snow lovers are sticking it out in the North. Wherever you are spending the winter, Spring will be on the way soon! I do have to mention though, it has been a fairly easy winter… not too much snow, but a lot of sickness. Sometimes I feel like a broken record, as here we are again on surrenders. Executive Council has been working diligently to accomplish this task. Council has monthly meetings on the progress and looking at new strategies to try and locate policyholders. We have sent out repeated mailings to all Lodges. I encourage all Lodges to look at their lists and help us as much as they can. We know that we will not be able to find everyone, just remember that, “A good Viking, is an uninsured Viking.” Since September, we have had 200+ surrenders. We have also had a Melinda Worden number of donations through surrenders: Burn Camp – 14 donations, Scholarship - Grand Chief 17, and 8 donations to Language Camp. Big thanks to all of you who donated back to the I.O.V.!! On the upside, all Lodges of the I.O.V. are now in good standing.
