  • Creating Holy People and Places on the Periphery
    Creating Holy People and People Places Holy on theCreating Periphery Creating Holy People and Places on the Periphery A Study of the Emergence of Cults of Native Saints in the Ecclesiastical Provinces of Lund and Uppsala from the Eleventh to the Thirteenth Centuries During the medieval period, the introduction of a new belief system brought profound societal change to Scandinavia. One of the elements of this new religion was the cult of saints. This thesis examines the emergence of new cults of saints native to the region that became the ecclesiastical provinces of Lund and Uppsala in the twelfth century. The study examines theearliest, extant evidence for these cults, in particular that found in liturgical fragments. By analyzing and then comparing the relationship that each native saint’s cult had to the Christianization, the study reveals a mutually beneficial bond between these cults and a newly emerging Christian society.

From the demigods of old to the cinematic action stars of today, there is something that intrigues us about these noble and often solitary saviors. When considering epic heroes such as Gilgamesh and Beowulf, it is readily apparent that these men are products of patriarchal societies, and, consequently, masculinity is an inherent consideration when defining heroism. Recent criticism and re-visioning of ancient heroes has yielded some fascinating commentaries, especially in terms of gender theory.

  • PROCLAMATION 5722—OCT. 5, 1987 101 STAT. 2213 Leif Erikson
    PROCLAMATION 5722—OCT. 5, 1987 101 STAT. 2213 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of Oc­ tober, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twelfth. RONALD REAGAN Proclamation 5722 of October 5,1987 Leif Erikson Day, 1987 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Our Nation sets aside October 9 each year to honor Leif Erikson and to cel­ ebrate our country's Nordic heritage. Almost a thousand years ago this young Viking explorer set out from Norway to convert Greenlanders to Christianity. He eventually reached North America and brought back re­ ports of places he called Helluland, Markland, and Vinland. The explorers, missionaries, settlers, and adventurers who followed him in later centuries shared his bold spirit. The memory of Leif Erikson continues to inspire all who would chart new territory for the good of mankind. Many who settled in North America were Nordics. Like "Leif the Lucky" they displayed great determination and courage as they came to a new world. They and their descendants have truly contributed much to our na­ tional heritage; the strength of character and spirit of adventure they trace to their ancestors, including Leif Erikson, are traits Americans will always revere as quintessentially American. In honor of Leif Erikson and our Nordic American heritage, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved on September 2, 1964 (78 Stat. 849, 36 U.S.C. 169c], has authorized the President to proclaim October 9 of each year as "Leif Erikson Day." NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 9, 1987, as Leif Erikson Day, and I direct the appropriate government officials to display the flag of the United States on all government buildings on that day.

  • The Vineland-Excursions of the Ancient Scandinavians
    THE VINELAND-EXCURSIONS OF THE ANCIENT SCANDINA VIANS DY E. LØFFLER. 1883. Before having the honour of giving a short account of the early discovery of America by the Scanclinavians, I must be permitted to remark, that the greater part of what I am going to relate here we may take for granted to be known to Scan­ dinavian historians and archæologists. As, however, foreign scientists can less easily avail themselves of the original sources, the old sagas, and as the knowledge of foreigners of the dis­ covery of America before Columbus, especially the Scandinavians' Vinelancl-excursions, must be founded on an old work: "Anti­ qvitates Americanæ", I believe that a cfitical review of the facts related in the original sagas will not be out of place in this assembly. The 15111 and 16th centuries were, as is well known , a period of great naval expeditions, discoveries, and conquests, un­ dertaken principally by Spain and Portugal. The 9'", 10•" and, to some extent, the 11th centuries were of similar importance to the Scandinavian countries, and numerous viking-fleets left their 65 homes to make conquests and to gain spoil and glory on foreign shores 1• Normandy and England had to submit to the domi­ nion of the Dan es , Ireland and Scotland felt the weight of the Norsemen's swords , and Swedish emigrants went eastward into Russia, where they formed strongholds in Novgorod and Kijev2• Distant lceland , which perhaps was discovered first by Irish monks 3, was afterwards colonized by Norwegians 4, and from thence Erik the Red went, after previous explorations , in the year 986 to South Greenland , where he settled in Brattahlid 5.

Francis The Western Norse Settlement in Greenland disappeared suddenly, probably in 1342. Research in the area includes medieval sources, archeological studies of the ruins, climatic data from the Greenlandic icecap, oral stories from the Inuit in Greenland and Canada, and possible sightings of ancestors of the Norse in the Canadian Arctic. Feeling threatened both physically by the Thule (ancestors of the Inuit) and a cooling climate, and economically by the Norwegian crown, the Roman Catholic Church, and the Eastern Settlement in Greenland, the Western Settlement voluntarily left en masse for the new world, probably in 1342 based on sailing dates. _______________________, Committee Chair Candace Gregory-Abbott _______________________ Date iv PREFACE I was volunteering on a trip from Hudson Bay to Baffin Island with Students on Ice in 2007, when I heard the zodiac driver say, “there is a Viking trading site in the South Savage Islands.” That made me curious, as trading sites take time and trust to develop.

  • Review of David M. Krueger. Myths of the Rune Stone. Futhark 11
    David M. Krueger. Myths of the Rune Stone: Viking Martyrs and the Birthplace of America. Minneapolis and London: University of Minnesota Press, 2015. 214 pp. ISBN 978-0-8166-9691-8 (hardcover), 978-0-8166-9696-3 (paperback). $24.95. Reviewed by Henrik Williams The Kensington runestone is perhaps the worldʼs most famous runic monument, or rather its most infamous. Since its reported discovery in the autumn of 1898 on a property in Minnesota by Swedish-American farm-owner, Olof Öhman, it has been the subject of public scrutiny, particularly since the founding of a Runestone Museum in Alexandria, Minnesota, in 1958. Although the stone is by no means the only North American object bearing or thought to bear runes (see below), it is in many ways the most important. It is nearly impossible to calculate how many books, articles and especially news stories have been published in the 122 years since the Kensington rune- stone was first made public, and interest shows no signs of abating. The latest TV pro duc tions about the runestone include a 2012 documentary by the Norwegian Broad casting Corporation (NRK) entitled Schrödingers katt: Kensington steinens gåte, as well as several pseudo-scientific series devoted in part or whole to the rune stone. The latest contribution isThe American Runestone “starring” Peter Stormare, who is also the director of what seems to be a two-season produc tion with twelve episodes (so far). Runologists have wisely declined to play any part in this pseudo-documentary. Stormareʼs infotainment docudrama has met with little or no acclaim in serious media, but like its forerunner Holy Grail in America (2009) and the subsequent series America Unearthed (2012–), both mentioned by Krueger (pp.
