  • Prisoners of War in the Baltic in the XII-XIII Centuries
    Prisoners of war in the Baltic in the XII-XIII centuries Kurt Villads Jensen* University of Stockholm Abstract Warfare was cruel along the religious borders in the Baltic in the twelfth and thirteenth century and oscillated between mass killing and mass enslavement. Prisoners of war were often problematic to control and guard, but they were also of huge economic importance. Some were used in production, some were ransomed, some held as hostages, all depending upon status of the prisoners and needs of the slave owners. Key words Warfare, prisoners of war. Baltic studies. Baltic crusades. Slavery. Religious warfare. Medieval genocide. Resumen La guerra fue una actividad cruel en las fronteras religiosas bálticas entre los siglos XII y XIII, que osciló entre la masacre y la esclavitud en masa. El control y guarda de los prisioneros de guerra era frecuentemente problemático, pero también tenían una gran importancia económica. Algunos eran empleados en actividades productivas, algunos eran rescatados y otros eran mantenidos como rehenes, todo ello dependiendo del estatus del prisionero y de las necesidades de sus propietarios. Palabras clave Guerra, prisioneros de guerra, estudios bálticos, cruzadas bálticas, esclavitud, guerra de religión, genocidio medieval. * Dr. Phil. Catedrático.

  • How to Legitimate Rebellion and Condemn Usurpation of the Crown: Discourses of Fidelity and Treason in the Gesta Danorum of Saxo Grammaticus
    HOW TO LEGITIMATE REBELLION AND CONDEMN USURPATION OF THE CROWN: DISCOURSES OF FIDELITY AND TREASON IN THE GESTA DANORUM OF SAXO GRAMMATICUS Lars Hermanson The Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus’s voluminous work Gesta Dano- rum, composed c. 1190–1210, tells the story of the Danish people from pre- historic times until Knud VI’s conquest of Pomerania in 1185. Here I will deal with the period c. 1146–1178, in which Saxo tells how Duke Valdemar gained the throne and how he later had to defend his position against his kinsmen who tried to usurp the crown. Saxo Grammaticus and the Historical Background Ever since the assassination of Valdemar’s father Knud Lavard in 1131, Denmark had been a country torn by civil wars, as different branches of the royal family vied for the kingship. The Scandinavian bilateral system of kinship implied that the combatants’ hereditary claims were more or less equal. They were all descendants of King Svend Estridsen, who dur- ing the later part of the eleventh century had restored and enlarged the royal patrimony (see Figure 1: Descendants of Svend Estridsen). In order to gain the upper hand over their opponents, the contenders each cre- ated action groups composed of hand-picked kinsmen and allies from among the leading magnates of the realm.1 During the 1140s and 1150s the most powerful aristocratic network was the Trund clan, first and foremost represented by the renowned Archbishop Eskil. The “Trunds” possessed large estates and occupied high offices within the church and the royal administration. Between 1146 and 1157 a fierce war was fought between kings Svend Grathe (Erik Svendsen’s lineage) and Knud Magnussen (Niels Svendsen’s lineage).

  • 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.

ORFIELD PART II* LOCAL GOVERNMENT In 1841 local government was reformed by introducing parish councils to which the peasants elected some representatives. 233 In turn the parish councils elected members of the county councils. The pastors were no longer to be chairmen of the parish councils, but continued to be members ex officio. The right to vote was extended to owners of but 1.4 acres. The councils were created to deal with school matters and poor relief; but road maintenance, public health, business and industrial licenses, and liquor licenses were also within their province. The right to vote in local elections was long narrowly restricted. Under legislation of 1837 the six largest cities other than Copenhagen chose coun- cilmen on a property basis permitting only seven per cent of the population to vote. Early in the nineteenth century rural communities began to vote for poor law and school officials.

  • Bronze Bowls in Thirteenth-Century Estonia
    GIFTS OF THE KING. “HANSEATIC” BRONZE BOWLS IN THIRTEENTH CENTURY ESTONIA: SIGNS OF DANISH CRUSADES? BALTICA 24 BALTICA TOOMAS TAMLA, HEIKI VALK Abstract The Virumaa province in northeast Estonia is the area with the biggest concentration of ‘Hanseatic bowl’ finds in Europe. The finds originate mostly from deposits, often consisting of sets of numerous items. This article suggests a connection between ARCHAEOLOGIA these finds and the Danish crusade to Estonia in 1219, interpreting the bowls as the king’s gift to new subjects for their loy- alty, also looking at a possible broader context, and drawing hypothetical parallels with the Danish crusade to Samland and Prussia in 1210.

Hun var en af de mange adelsdøtre, derfor anses for et ejendommeligt tilfælde, at som Svend Estridsens fik barn med. Erik Ejegod er Skjalms børn øjensynligt ejede hele herredsbyen sandsynligvis vokset op i Slangerup hos moderen, Jørlunde med den store frådstenskirke, som lå kun da faderen rejste rundt i landet, som kongerne 3 kilometer fra torpen Slangerup. Sammenfaldene gjorde på den tid. kan skyldes, at en kvinde på kongens mors side blev gift med Skjalm eller hans far, så landsbyen blev mødrene arv i Hvide-slægten. Hvorfor nævnte Saxo aldrig årsagen til fællesskabet mellem de to slægter, som han ellers svælgede i? Ærkebispens Saxo ville næppe skrive sort på hvidt, at den svenske kong Sverker, som Hviderne på den tid støttede i tronkampe, i så fald var født i strid med reglerne om kirkeligt incest, der forbød ægteskab inden for 7 slægtsled - selv om de var ved at blive lempet. Dette kan være årsagen til, at Figur 1. Jørlunde Kirke opført ca. 1100 helt i frådsten. sammenhængene er så uklare og udokumenterede, trods en måske enkel og sandsynlig forklaring. Hvideslægtens stamfar, Skjalm Hvide, som levede omkring år 1100, antages at komme fra Alsted Uanset årsagen til ejerskabet ser det ud til, at Herred ved Fjenneslev og Sorø, hvor sønnerne Hviderne bredte sig over hele Naturparken, hvor de oprettede Sorø Kloster. kunne hindre trafik på hovedruterne nordfra mod Roskilde og Ringsted – og måske opkræve afgifter Der ses i de følgende 100 år et tæt sammenhold ved tunneldalenes få overgange.

  • Venerunt Fratres Predicatores
    CM 2011 ombrukket7_CM 22.03.12 12:50 Side 5 Venerunt fratres predicatores Notes on Datings of the First Dominican Convent Foundations in Scandinavia JOhNNy GRANDJEAN GøGSIG JAkObSEN Barely had the Order of Preachers been established in 1216, before learned Scandinavians living abroad started to join the order. Many of them were sent back home to help founding convents of friars Preachers in what was to become the order’s province of Dacia. This early phase of Dominican history in Scandinavia is relatively well described from a Dominican chronicle, from a number of annals and a handful of extant letters. All this notwithstanding, the exact years in the chronology of events have been a matter of some scholarly discussion. In this article, the author aims to offer an overview of facts, problems and theses, providing new evidence to settle some of the old questions – as well as questioning some of the settled beliefs. At the fourth Lateran Council in 1215 it was decided that the world now had all the religious orders it needed. The very year after, Pope honorius III gave his approval for the foundation of yet another order, although officially at first only as a congregation within the Augustinian order of canons regular: Ordo Predicatorum, the Order of Preachers. The reason for this papal change of mind was a hard felt need for a new institution within the Western Church, a corps of teachers and preachers, partly to take up the theological fight against heretic movements, but even more importantly also to comply with Canons 10 and 11 of the council in 1215 regarding an urgent need to improve theological training of secular priests at the cathedral schools and to endorse much more preaching of the Gospels to people in the dioceses.
