A History of the V-5 L. The Scandinavian Community, t: Diversity and Unity (1 )o ,^o r* ouR AccouNT oF THE scANDTNAVTAN pEopLEs we have assumed that despite a threefold division inro Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians, and the internal division ofeach ofthese into tribes and regions, with a more or less constant pattern of neighbourly aggression, dynastic struggle, extra-territbrial con- quest, and folk migration--despite these things we have assumed that Scandinavia is an entity and have talked ofit as such. Before proceeding with the political history of the peoples we had better ask ourselves why. First there is the geographical position ofthe three countries in the north ofEurope. They are grouped together, it is true; but the grouping is less neighbourly than that of the countries of the British Isles, or the city states of Italy. The old Cimbric peninsula, modern Jutland, is an extension of the north German pliin, and a long run of wars from the beginning of the ninth ceniury to the middle of the twentieth has failed to draw what nature left undrawn, a definitive frontier. The flat and Grtile countryside of the Danish isles from Fyn to Z,ealand, of Bornholm, and Skine in Sweden, has more in common with lands south of the Fehmarn Belt and the Baltic than with Norway and Swedish Norrland. On the peninsula itse[ the upturned keel of mountains running south from Finn- mark almost to Stavanger and Vdrmland made vast areas ofeastern and western Scandinavia almost inaccessible to each other through- out the Middle Ages.l Eastwards there is no natural division r The two best lines of land communication between Norway and Sweden vere the Trondheim qap and the area south of Lake Miosa. There are two well-known accounts oTth. hardships to be encountered frtm both natives and 60 A Hittorl of tbe Vikingt between Sweden and Finland: the chief virtue of the Muonio and Torne rivers as a frontier is that they happen to flow into the head of the Gulf of Bothnia. It is arsuable that in terms of mass the Scandinavian peninsula withoui Denmark but with the Kola peninsula and ihe territory west of a line drawn from the head of kandalaks Bay to the head of the Gulf of Finland would be more coherent and-form a more logical entitY than the three-nationed Scandinavia we know. But logil counts for little in the affairs ofmen, and it is unlikely that a grouping of Baltic nations rather than Scandinavian -o,tld ht,r" piesented"the medieval world or posterity with a tidier or more geniil spectacle. And if there is little obviously compulsive to unity-in thJ geographical situation of the viking nations, neither is the nature of theircountries notably similar. The following account of how it looked to a near contemporary is taken from Saxo's Prelace to his Danish History, written shortly after the year I2OO. The extremes, then, of this country [Denmark] are partly bounded by a frontier ofanother land, and partly enclosed by the waters ofthe adlacent sea. The interior is washed and encompassed by the Ocean; and this, through the circuitous winds of the interstices, now straitens into thJnarrows of a firth, now advances into ampler bays, forming a number of islands. Hence Denmark is cut in pieces by the intervening waves of ocean, and has but Gw portions of firm and continuouJterritory; these being divided by the mass ofwaters that break them up, in ways varying with the different angle ofthebend ofthe sea. Ofill theseJutland, being the largest and first settled, holds the chief place in the Danish kinsdom. It both lies foremost and stretches iurthest, reaching to th"e frontiers of Teutonland, from contact rvith which it is severed by the bed of the river Eyder.

  • Adam of Bremen on Slavic Religion
    Chapter 3 Adam of Bremen on Slavic Religion 1 Introduction: Adam of Bremen and His Work “A. minimus sanctae Bremensis ecclesiae canonicus”1 – in this humble manner, Adam of Bremen introduced himself on the pages of Gesta Hammaburgensis ecclesiae pontificum, yet his name did not sink into oblivion. We know it thanks to a chronicler, Helmold of Bosau,2 who had a very high opinion of the Master of Bremen’s work, and after nearly a century decided to follow it as a model. Scholarship has awarded Adam of Bremen not only with a significant place among 11th-c. writers, but also in the whole period of the Latin Middle Ages.3 The historiographic genre of his work, a history of a bishopric, was devel- oped on a larger scale only after the end of the famous conflict on investiture between the papacy and the empire. The very appearance of this trend in histo- riography was a result of an increase in institutional subjectivity of the particu- lar Church.4 In the case of the environment of the cathedral in Bremen, one can even say that this phenomenon could be observed at least half a century 1 Adam, [Praefatio]. This manner of humble servant refers to St. Paul’s writing e.g. Eph 3:8; 1 Cor 15:9, and to some extent it seems to be an allusion to Christ’s verdict that his disciples quarrelled about which one of them would be the greatest (see Lk 9:48). 2 Helmold I, 14: “Testis est magister Adam, qui gesta Hammemburgensis ecclesiae pontificum disertissimo sermone conscripsit …” (“The witness is master Adam, who with great skill and fluency described the deeds of the bishops of the Church in Hamburg …”).

  • King's Rune Stones
    29 Minoru Ozawa King’s Rune Stones A Catalogue with Some Remarks Minoru OZAWA For those who are interested in Danish history the Jelling dynasty from the second half of the 10th century to 1042 has had a special meaning. The successive 6 kings, i.e. Gorm the Old (–958), Harald Bluetooth (–987), Swein Forkbeard (–1014), Harald (–1018), Canute the Great (–1035), and Hardecnut (–1042), transformed a small Danish kingdom into one of the most influential states in Northern Europe in the 11th century.1 After Gorm and Harald made steadier the foundation of the kingdom the following kings expanded their stage of activty westward to gain booty with their army. In 1013 Swein conquered England to take the crown into his hand and, after his sudden death, his son Canute reconquered the kingdom to be the king of England in 1018 and king of Norway later in 1028. At the time the Jelling dynasty reigned over three kingdoms which surrounded the North Sea.2 While it is important to reevaluate the rule of the Jelling dynasty from the viewpoint of European political history, we should remember another important activity by the Danes: raising rune stones in memory of the dead. According to Sawyer’s catalogue, the corpus consisting of 200 rune stones is left to the present days as stones themselves or drawings in early modern age in the territory of medieval 1 Concerning the basic information of the Jelling dynasty, see Thorkild Ramskou, Normannertiden 600–1060.

  • The First Sparks and the Far Horizons Stirring up the Thinking on the Earliest Scandinavian Urbanization Processes – Again
    The First Sparks and the Far Horizons Stirring up the Thinking on the Earliest Scandinavian Urbanization Processes – Again BY MATS MOGREN Mogren, Mats. 2013. The First Sparks and the Far Horizons. Stirring up the Thinking on Abstract the Earliest Scandinavian Urbanization Processes – Again. Lund Archaeological Review 18 (2012), pp. 73–88. The author stresses the need for new input into research on Early Medieval (6th–11th century) urbanization processes in Scandinavia. A multi-pronged approach is suggested, where the societal structure of the region and period must be re-evaluated using hitherto relatively untried theoretical tools, such as a heterarchical perspective, the heterogenetic- orthogenetic conceptual pair, and a deconstruction of the bewildering concept of central place. It also includes a necessary critique of the “power paradigm”, current for 30 years. It is further stressed that comparative material should be sought globally. The Swahili coast of East Africa and maritime Southeast Asia are presented as the most operative comparison regions, due to a number of similar traits shared by the three areas. Network building with the chosen areas aims at a shared future understanding of the causes of the first sparks of urbanization.

  • Common Reed for Thatching in Northern Germany: Estimating the Market Potential of Reed of Regional Origin
    resources Article Common Reed for Thatching in Northern Germany: Estimating the Market Potential of Reed of Regional Origin Lea Becker, Sabine Wichmann and Volker Beckmann * Faculty of Law and Economics & Institute of Botany and Landscape Ecology, University of Greifswald, Soldmannstr. 15, D-17489 Greifswald, Germany; [email protected] (L.B.); [email protected] (S.W.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-3834-420-4122 Received: 1 October 2020; Accepted: 12 December 2020; Published: 16 December 2020 Abstract: Reed has a long tradition as locally available thatching material, but nowadays thatch is a globally traded commodity. Germany and other major importing countries such as the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Denmark rely on high import rates to meet the national consumption. This study aimed at providing a detailed picture of the thatching reed market in Northern Germany and at assessing the market potential for reed of regional origin. A written survey among all thatchers in Northern Germany was carried out in 2019, arriving at an effective sample of 47 out of 141 companies. The results revealed that for the responding companies the majority of the reed (59%) was used for rethatching roofs completely, 24% for newly constructed roofs, and 17% for roof repairs. Reed from Germany held a low share of 17% of the total consumption in 2018. Own reed harvesting was conducted by less than 9% of the responding companies and given up during the last decades by another 26%. The total market volume of reed for thatching in Northern Germany was estimated for 2018 with a 95% confidence interval at 3 0.8 million bundles of reed with a monetary value at ± sales prices of ¿11.6 2.8 million.
