Talk:Wægmunding

Swedes??
Factual accuracy dispute on section On the ethnic identity of the Wægmundings:

Doesn't sound a reasonable assumption. First, we cannot refer to the Swedish people of today, since such a nationality didn't exist until, say 1400ths (Engelbrecht rebellion, Charles IV Bonde), in embryonic form, not until say the 1100ths... So we may assume: Between sviar and west geats we cannot reasonably choose, since that would be erecting speculation to facts! We should instead choose unknown as the proper choice, not any pseudofact. Said: Rursus ☻ 10:04, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * geats, either east geats, or west geats, since the competing clans were the Wulfings occupying the east geatish position, west geats remains,
 * sviar used to be referred to as Swedes in English, ...
 * Doesn't look controversial. Have you seen Beowulf (2007 film)? They even let the Waegmunding Wiglaf state that his mother lives in Uppland.--Berig (talk) 19:34, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
