East Danes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Since Dane was used as a generic expression for Scandinavian, it can be hypothesized that the name East Dane of the runic poem refers to Scandinavians living east of the Danes proper (i.e. East Dane is an Anglo-Saxon ethnonym which was used in the epic Beowulf as a kenning for the Geats, the people of Götaland in southern Sweden. For he paid to the gods abominable offerings, by beginning to slaughter human victims. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/East_Danes

Kingdom of Northumbria (Viking Age) The Danes returned to York for a year in 869 and from here set off on the successful conquest of East Anglia in 870, but their expansion was kept in check in the south of England by Alfred the Great, the King of Wessex. Secondly the encouragement of a religious community with its roots deeply planted in Northumbria's golden age of Christianity may have encouraged the Angles of Bernicia to support the Danes or at least be less hostile towards them. One major target for the Danes was the Norwegian colony at Dublin in Ireland, established by the Norse in 841 and captured by the Danes for a short period in 851. www.thenortheast.fsnet.co.uk /VikingNorthumbria.htm

ALFRED - LoveToKnow Article on ALFRED After the final dispersal of the Danish invaders Alfred turned his attention to the increase of the navy, and ships were built according to the king's own designs, partly to repress the ravages of the Northumbrian and East Anglian Danes on the coasts of Wessex, partly to prevent the landing of fresh hordes. Alfred had been on his way to relieve his son at Thorney when he heard that the Northumbrian and East Anglian Danes were besieging Exeter and an unnamed fort on the coast of North Devon. While he was negotiating with Haesten the Danes at Appledore broke out and struck north-westwards, but were overtaken by Alfred's eldest son, Edward, and defeated in a general engagement at Farnham, and driven to take refuge in Thorney Island in the Hertfordshire Colne, where they were blockaded and ultimately compelled to submit. www.1911encyclopedia.org /A/AL/ALFRED.htm

Northmen in Great Britain According to the terms of the Treaty of Wedmore, the Danes promised to leave Wessex and to settle in parts of England to the north and east of Wtaling Street, the old Roman road. In 866 A.D. the "Grand Army" of the Danes under the leadership of Guthrum landed on the coast of East Anglia. Ethelred fought the Danes in defence of Wessex and was killed in battle. web.udl.es /usuaris/m0163949/northmen.htm

Tranquebar : The Danish East India Company 1616 - 1669 That the Danes acted as neutral third parties in local trading, and took part in the regional trading structure on a par with local merchants, was doubtless of great importance to the continued viability, such as it was, of the Danish colony. During 1621, the Danes began what was to be their main occupation in Tranquebar for years to come; the ship København was sent from Tranquebar to Tenasserim (or Mergui) on the west coast of Thailand, whence a load a malayan pepper was freighted to Tranquebar. After 1625, the Danes ceased trading for themselves on the Tranquebar-Tenasserim route; instead, portuguese goods was carried, and the Danish ships thus functioned as neutral third parties in the comprehensive trading network that criss-crossed the Bay of Bengal. www.scholiast.org /history/tra-narr.html

Handbook of Texas Online: DANES Danes were rapidly assimilated in terms of learning English, marrying outside their own groups, and adopting local habits intentionally. Until around 1950 the ratio of native-born Danes to the population of Texas was always fairly constant-about one to 3,000. By 1850 a sprinkling of Danes had arrived, some fifty individuals officially in that year's census, probably a low count that quickly grew. www.tsha.utexas.edu /handbook/online/articles/view/DD/ptd1.html

Holy Cross War - ThroneWiki Whilst the Danes were away, the remnants of the Swedish Baltic fleet attempted to capture the ferries linking Denmark to Skåne. Though the Danes had smashed the strongest force that Sweden could raise against them in the north, they had failed to capture the Swedish Imperial Government, which had spent a dreadful winter and the early months of 1714 being evacuated from doomed Riga, back to Stockholm, its seat of old. The wars in the north and the east continued to benefit the Company hugely, with vast sums pouring into their coffers from the supply of arms, men and munitions to the embattled parties. test.throneworld.com /wiki/index.php/Holy_Cross_War

From the Viking Invasion to the Norman Conquest The peace of Tiddingford was confirmed between King Edward the Elder and the Danes both with the East Anglians and the Northumbrians.

Anglo Saxon Chroniclers Garb The World The Danes, however, still remained behind; for their king was wounded in the fight, so that they could not carry him. Then went the Danes from their three ships to those other three that were on their side, be-ebbed; and there they then fought. Then went they out to the men that sat on the eastern side of the river, and fought with them; but the Christians had the victory. www.garbtheworld.com /pgs/hist/aschron6.shtml

Untitled Page During the reign of King Edward the Elder in the early tenth century, the Danelaw – that is, the area of England controlled by the Danes – was steadily and systematically reconquered, beginning with East Anglia. No part of the country was more exposed to the pagan attacks than the small kingdom of East Anglia, and the old King Offa of East Anglia resolved to go on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land to pray for the forgiveness of his sins and the safety of his kingdom. But in 865 the pagan Danes, led by the three brothers Hinguar, Healfdene and Hubba, again invaded England, bent on revenge for the death of their father Ragnar Lodbrog at the hands of the English King Alle of Northumbria. www.russianorthodox-roac.com /34.html

Fact and Fiction in the Legend of St. Edmund, by Dorothy Whitelock He says that the Danes left the body lying, but took away the head, and hid it in the bramble thickets in Hellesdon wood, so that the survivors might not give decent burial to the body with the head. The East Angles, moved by fear of the pirates who were often ravaging, and of neighbouring kings, now that Offa was dead, consented to elect Edmund. He says: ‘a great heathen army came to England and took up winter-quarters in East Anglia; and there they were supplied with horses, and the East Angles made peace with them.’ It was as a mounted land-force that the Danish army moved for the next few years. www.wmich.edu /medieval/research/rawl/edmund/whitelock.html

BBC NEWS Middle East Danes prepare for snow in Iraq Baking in the heat and dust outside Basra, the 380-odd Danes could have been forgiven for thinking the lawnmowers also included in the cargo were a mirage.

Explanatory Notes on Beowulf OE Scucc survives in East Anglia as the name (Old) Shuck or Shock applied to a supernatural creature sometimes classified with 'Black Dogs' (see Brown)--of the 'Barguest' variety, of which Brown says '[it is] a shapeless monster struggling to present itself in a variety of images a subconscious, partly chthonic entity' (189). [1680] Köberl argues that this 'Lord of the Danes' is not identical with the latter mentioned woroldcyninga (i.e. Further, the references to their idol-worshipping and damning prayers to the 'Gastbona' are in sharp contrast to the actions of Beowulf when he arrives to succour these much-harried Danes. www.heorot.dk /beowulf-rede-notes.html

BBC NEWS World Middle East Danes show suspect Iraqi shells Results of more extensive tests should be available in about two days, the Danes said on an official website quoted by the Reuters news agency.
