  • Pagan to Christian
    FROM ODIN TO CHRIST Pagan to Christian o the Vikings living and travel- ling in a Europe that was almost entirely Christian, con- version did not come äs a single explosive event. If we think of the earlier Situation in England, where Christianity obliterated virtually all recorded knowledge of pagan thought and practice, the way in which some Norsemen remained coolly balanced between two re- ligions, examining the merits of both, and in some cases trying to get the protective benefits of both, is a fascinating study. It is presum- ably one of the results of this detachment, that even after conversion there is still this willingness among the converted to re- member and write about paganism rather than discarding it simply äs error, idolatry and devil-worship. The transition period between paganism and Christianity leaves traces in carving, literature and metalwork. Whether Vikings first started to wear a Thor's hammer round their necks because Christians wore pendant crosses and crucifixes, or whether the tradi- tion is independent of Christian influence, cannot now be determined. But certainly there was enough of a market for both for one enterprising smith to leave behind him in Denmark a single soapstone mould for the production of both cross and hammer amu- lets. Most of the surviving pendants are clearly identifiable äs either hammer or cross, but there are examples where the design of the one seems to have influenced the other, even one example where we are not sure which it was meant to be. Whether the canny Viking who wore it intended the ambiguity is not certain.

This is a fourteenth century depiction of the royal martyr saints on a rood screen in Catfield Church, Norfolk) ii © Samuel Patrick Bidwell 2017 Across the North Sea and Back Again: A Comparative Study between the Cults of St. Olav and St. Edmund Samuel Patrick Bidwell http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo iii Abstract The medieval cult of saints community was a dense, pervasive network that spread across the vast expanse of Latin Christendom. Saints were international in nature and as such could be easily transported to other geographical regions and integrated into the local culture. This thesis comparatively analyses the cults of St. Olav and St. Edmund and their respective primary hagiographical texts. The aim of this study is to determine to what extent Archbishop Eystein Erlendsson constructed his twelfth century text, Passio et miracula Beati Olavi, with reference to the hagiographical motifs surrounding the cult of St. Edmund and its central manuscript, Passio Sancti Edmundi. The interconnectedness of the cults of these royal martyr saints will be discussed in relation to dynastic promotion and royal patronage, their portrayal as both saints and warriors, shared miracles and exile.

  • Studies in English Language and Early Literature in Honour of Paul Christophersen
    No. 8 August 1981 Studies in English Language and Early Literature in Honour of Paul Christophersen Edited by P.M. Tilling The New University of Ulster ISSN 0308 - 2075 ] D.J. Beard 13 A >A BITU ENGI JARN A Brief Note on the Concept of Invulnerability in the Old Norse Sagas D. J. Beard During his description of the battle of Hafrsf jord, the author of Grettis saga writes: Haraldr konungr Iag3i at skipi )joris haklangs, J?vi at J>orir var inn mesti berserkr ok fullhugi. Var pai in haröasta orrosta af hvarumtveggjum. ba het konungr a berserki sina til framgöngu. beir varu kallaäir ulfheBnar, en a ba bitu engi j arn, en er beir geystust fram, ba heizt ekki viö. (Grettis sagaf eh. 2) . The use of a very similar phrase to describe the invulnerability of King Harald's berserks in the description of the battle of Hafrsfjord contained in Egils saga may possibly be due to both descriptions being taken from a common source, but the fact remains that the idea that 'iron could not bite1 on a berserk is very common in the Sagas. This type of invulnerability is also associated with 'semi-troll' men and certain heroes. The idea of a warrior such äs a berserk, who fought in a state of frenzy, being accredited with invulnerability is hardly surprising. During a frenzied fighting fit (berserksgang) such a warrior would likely be unaware 14 D.J.

    Issue 63: How the Vikings Took up the Faith Conversion of the Vikings: Did You Know? Fascinating and little-known facts about the Vikings and their times. What's a Viking? To the Franks, they were Northmen or Danes (no matter if they were from Denmark or not). The English called them Danes and heathens. To the Irish, they were pagans. Eastern Europe called them the Rus. But the Norse term is the one that stuck: Vikings. The name probably came from the Norse word vik, meaning "bay" or "creek," or from the Vik area, the body of water now called Skagerrak, which sits between Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. In any case, it probably first referred only to the raiders (víkingr means pirate) and was later applied to Scandinavians as a whole between the time of the Lindesfarne raid (793) and the Battle of Hastings (1066). Thank the gods it's Frigg's day. Though Vikings have a reputation for hit-and-run raiding, Vikings actually settled down and influenced European culture long after the fires of invasion burned out. For example, many English words have roots in Scandinavian speech: take, window, husband, sky, anger, low, scant, loose, ugly, wrong, happy, thrive, ill, die, beer, anchor. … The most acute example is our days of the week. Originally the Romans named days for the seven most important celestial bodies (sun, moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn). The Anglo-Saxons inserted the names of some Norse deities, by which we now name Tuesday through Friday: the war god Tiw (Old English for Tyr), Wodin (Odin), Thor, and fertility goddess Frigg.

  • Perspectives on Power a Study of the Political Landscape on the North West Coast of Norway in the Viking Period
    Perspectives on Power A study of the political landscape on the North West coast of Norway in the Viking period. Christian Giffen Sæbø Masteroppgave ved institutt for arkeologi, konservering og historie. Vår 2017 UNIVERSITETET I OSLO II Forord Jeg vil benytte anledningen til å først og fremst takke min veileder Hans Jacob Orning for mange gode, støttende og oppmuntrende innspill som gjorde denne oppgaven mulig. Hver eneste time med veiledning gjorde meg mer og mer inspirert for mitt eget tema, noe jeg ikke kan takke nok for. Fylkeskonservator i Møre og Romsdal, Bjørn Ringstad, fortjener også en stor takk for hjelpen med de arkeologiske kildene. Hans tilbakespill og faglige kompetanse ga oppgaven et stort løft på området der en historiker ofte kan gå seg litt vill. Jeg vil også takke Lisa Virginia Benson ved Arkeologisk bibliotek i Oslo for hennes hjelp til å finne frem til de riktige kildene. Til slutt vil jeg også takke familie og venner som har vært en uvurderlig støtte gjennom hele prosessen. Takk til mamma, pappa og farfar som har vist stor interesse for hele mitt arbeid. Min fantastiske samboer, Reidun Brandt, fortjener også en takk for å ha vært den nærmeste støttespilleren min. Min mor og Reidun fortjener en spesiell takk for å ha lest gjennom oppgaven og luket bort de fleste språklige feilene. Christian Giffen Sæbø Oslo, mai 2018 III IV Sammendrag Oppgaven belyser maktsentre på Nordvestlandet i vikingtid, ca 800-1030. Ved å bruke sagalitteratur, arkeologiske kilder og lovverkene som ble utvidet av Håkon den gode, ser jeg på maktinndelingen av området som strekker seg fra Nordfjordeid i sør til og med Kuløya i nord.

  • 1. the Fugitive
    1. The fugitive HARALD SIGURDSSON was a half-brother of King Olaf the Saint; they had the same mother' Harald took part in the Battle of Stiklestad where King Olaf was killed.' Harald was wounded in that battle, but managed to escape, along with many other fugitives. In the words of the poet Thjodolf Arnorsson: 3 I heard that the storm of arrows Raged around King Olaf, And the king's young brother Fought beside him bravely. I. Harald was the son of Sigurd Sow. Sigurd Sow (Halfdanarson) was one of the petty kings in tenth­ century No(way; he ruled over Ringerike. Harald Sigurdssoo's mother was Queen Asu Gudbrand's-daughter; her first hosband. before Sigurd Sow. was King Harald of Westfold, and their son was Olaf Haraldsson (St Olaf). 2. King Olaf Haraldsson (St Olaf)) was King of Norway from 1016 to 1030, when he was killed at the Battle of Stiklestad. near Trond­ heim. Norway was still semi-pagan when Olaf Haraldsson came to the throne, and during his reign he fought ruthlessly against heathen practices. Eventually. the chieftains and farmers rebelled against him; King Olaf was driven from Norway, but later returned with a ragtag army. At Stiklestad he fought his last battle against over­ whelming odds during an eclipse of the sun (31 August 1030). and died a martyr to the Christian faith. Miracles were reported within a few hours of his death. and he quickly came to be regarded as a saint; his cult spread through Scandinavia and western Europe. and also to Iceland and the British Isles.

  • Dublin, Norwegians, Anglo-Saxons, Danes, Tristram and Medieval Nuns in Notebook VI.B.18
    GENETIC JOYCE STUDIES – Issue 16 (Spring 2016) Dublin, Norwegians, Anglo-Saxons, Danes, Tristram and Medieval Nuns in Notebook VI.B.18 Viviana Mirela Braslasu and Geert Lernout Buffalo Notebook VI.B.18 was filled in the spring and early summer of 1927, when Joyce had just started on chapter I.6, while revising and correcting the other chapters of Book I for publication in transition. The sources in this notebook seem to have been mostly historical, but they vary widely. Since the first of the questions to be answered in I.6 was about the “myther rector,” quite a lot of these notes have to do with the city and county of Dublin and the Scandinavian history of the British isles. The first extended set of notes was taken from The History of the City of Dublin: From the Earliest Accounts to the Present by John Warburton, James Whitelaw and Robert Walsh. The two volumes were published on 1818. The clergyman and philantropist James Whitelaw, who had earlier made a census of the Dublin population, collaborated on this history of the city with John Warburton, deputy keeper of records in Dublin Castle and the manuscript was later completed by John Walsh. Although mostly based on earlier studies, the book was widely read. Joyce makes use of the earliest chapters of the first volume and then suddenly stopped after filling no more than three notebook pages. The next source is another older history, this time of the whole county of Dublin, published in 1838 by the Dublin lawyer John D’Alton.
