	Freyr Summary
		Adam of Bremen (IV:26), writing around 1070 and using eyewitness accounts, describes the triad of gods worshiped at the time in the temple at Uppsala.
		Adam of Bremen (IV: 27) reported that at times up to seventy-two bodies of men, horses, and dogs would hang together in a grove near the temple at Uppsala, but he did not say which victims were dedicated to which gods.
		Adam was probably eager to shock his readers with tales of pagan lewdness while Snorri treats the mythology with the sympathy of an antiquarian and aims to entertain his audience.

	English Influences in the Church in Scandinavia before 1066
		The purpose of this paper is to correlate secondary references in English sources and archaeological evidence with Adam of Bremen and the sagas to examine the role of English churchmen in the conversion history of Scandinavia.
		Adam admitted that he did not know the location of many of the bishops that were later consecrated for Denmark and speculated that the rude state of Christianity in the country forced the bishops to go anywhere they might be accepted.
		Adam's claim that Svein renounced Christianity was probably based on his toleration of paganism due to his dependence on the military support of pagan Danes and on his rejection of the ecclesiastical authority of Hamburg-Bremen.

	Vinland - LoveToKnow 1911
		The word first appeared in print in Adam of Bremen's Descriptio Insularum Aquilonis, an appendix to his Gesta Hammaburgensis Ecclesiae Pontificum, published by Lindenbrog in 1595.
		The fact that the Icelandic sagas concerning Vinland are not contemporaneous written records has caused them to be viewed by many with suspicion; hence such a significant allusion as that by Adam of Bremen is not to be overlooked.
		To the student of the Norse sources, Adam's reference is not so important, as the internal evidence of the sagas is such as to give easy credence to them as records of exploration in regions previously unknown to civilization.

	Bremen Piracy and Scottish Periphery
		Bremen produced little which Scottish merchants could not obtain elsewhere and, despite the fame of its breweries, it was the rival beers of Hamburg and Stralsund that seem to have supplied the Scottish market with what, in any case, remained something of a luxury product for most Scots.
		According to the crown's letter to Bremen, although the Scottish embassy was to include urban representatives, it was to be led by a royal nominee, Thomas Preston.
		Bremen had something of a reputations the difficult daughter of the Hansa: its merchants had been excluded from Hanseatic privileges for a lengthy period from 1284, and then again briefly in 1427, for recalcitrance in adhering to Hanseatic policies.

	Adalgar: Third archbishop of Hamburg-Bremen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Bremen had originally been under the jurisdiction of Cologne; but this relation was dissolved on the reestablishment of the archbishopric of Hamburg in 848; and Pope Nicholas I. had confirmed the subordination of Bremen to Hamburg in 864 (see ANSGAR; HAMBURG, ARCHBISHOPRIC OF).
		On the basis of its report, Formosus decided that Bremen should be united to Hamburg so long as the latter had no suffragan sees, but should revert to Cologne when any were erected, the archbishop of Hamburg meanwhile taking part in the provincial synods of Cologne, without thereby admitting his subordination.
		From the way in which Rimbert's biographer and Adam of Bremen speak of him, he seems to have been a man of some force, but perhaps not strong enough for the difficult times in which his activity was cast.
