Talk:Battle of Fýrisvellir

Article name
Why isn't this article named in English Battle of the Fyris Fields? SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:57, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Or Battle of Fyrisvallarna as it is known in Swedish? I will move this soon unless somebody objects. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 10:53, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Fantastic
I totally love it when historically contested events find new support. There are so many extreme and categorical positions taken by hypercritical historians that I can't help wondering what is their goal, really, beyond showing that humanistics is mostly about feelings and emotions.--Berig (talk) 16:29, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, the discovery of the location of Jomsborg idenpendently by two (or three ?) different researchers was announced allready in the autumn of 2018. The complete text for Gesta Wulinensis ecclesiae pontificum was discovered in autumn 2019, and the discovery was made public in january 2020. Gesta Wulinensis confirmed the location of Jomsborg, that the researchers had figured out on basis on various techniques. Apart from the video, where Rosborn tells about the battle of Fýrisvellir and other things, there are also a more detailed discussion on the matter on Facebook. It's all very exiting, and it's rather unusual to find such a detailed new account on Nordic history from the 10th century, and not mentioning all the other historical medieval documents, that was saved in this archive.

 * These discoveries must be the greatest in Norse studies since L'Anse aux Meadows in 1960. It is indeed very exiting, and I look forward to Rosborn's book.--Berig (talk) 12:14, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
