The largest islands are Zealand, Funen and the North Jutlandic Island. Herning is in the region of Midtjylland, on the Jutland peninsula, located approximately 190 miles from Denmark's capital city of Copenhagen . Herning was established at the beginning of the 19th century as a commercial centre providing goods and services to the farmers in the area. A thriving textile industry later developed in and around the town leading to Herning now housing some of the biggest fashion companies in Denmark. With the Danish Military Command at Karup less than half an hour away, Herning is the ideal place to hold IDLS2020.

We are aware, unfortunately, that this may not be the case for each person hoping to attend IDLS2020, if lockdown and travel restrictions remain more stringent in some countries more than others. We are very grateful for the ongoing support of our exhibitors who continue to register and plan for the conference and so far we have not experienced any substantial impacts. The rules in Denmark currently are: • Wash hands often, and/or use sanitizers • Cough or sneeze into your sleeve • Avoid handshakes, hugs, and kisses on cheeks • Keep the social distance (1 meter) • If you feel any symptoms that can arouse suspicion on COVID-19 – Stay at home Currently there is no requirement in Denmark to wear facemasks indoors or outdoors. In terms of the Conference, the following rules/measures will apply: • A maximum of 500 people in attendance • In session, delegates will need to sit 1 meter apart • The distance from a speaker on stage to the audience will be at least 2 meters • In the exhibition hall the current requirement is 2 meters distance between delegates • There will be easy access to sanitizers for cleaning hands • Lots of signage in English to remind you of the rules If you would like to keep up to date with the latest rules and restrictions in Denmark, you might find this page updated by the Danish police informative.

The material she has employed has generally been Danish but the perspective of the research and the scope of its results have normally been of rele- vance for the whole of the Germanic language area. Through her yearlong involvement in ICOS, Vibeke Dalberg has become well- known and highly respected as an onomastician. For those who do not read Danish, however, much of her work and some of her most significant papers have remained a closed book. To remedy this state of affairs, friends and colleagues at Vibeke’s former place of work, the Name Research Section at the University of Copenhagen, have wished to mark her 70th birthday by arranging for ten important papers to be translated into English.

Maths Bertell Viking Age Föglö – a travel route and its population From the 13th century, three place names are mentioned from the islands of Åland: todays Lemböte, Föglö and Kökar. Lemböte and Kökar are known for their medieval churches and Kökar with an additional Fransciscaner monestery. Of the three, Föglö has no obvious landmark motivating its mentioning. From archaeological evidence, we know that these places have been populated for from at least bronze age. Föglö has traces from Bronze Age, Early Iron Age and the Middle Ages, but the Viking Age seems to be missing.

For five years (1888-1892) the cave was excavated and emptied of 4 metres of cultural deposits spanning some 6000-7000 years. Stora Förvar is normally discussed in connection with the rich finds from the middle Neolithic pitted-ware culture, but early on it was established that the cave had also been utilized in the late Iron Age.

Corsi May, 2014 ABSTRACT This dissertation advances the study of the cultural integration of Denmark with continental Europe in the Middle Ages. By approaching the question with a view to the longue durée, it argues that Danish aristocratic culture had been heavily influenced by trends on the Continent since at least the Roman Iron Age, so that when Denmark adopted European courtly culture, it did so simultaneously to its development in the rest of Europe. Because elite culture as it manifested itself in the Middle Ages was an amalgamation of that of Ancient Rome and the Germanic tribes, its origins in Denmark is sought in the interactions between the Danish territory and the Roman Empire.
