	Gutasaga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Gutasaga is a saga treating the history of Gotland before its Christianization.
		Historically, the Goths followed the Vistula, but during the Viking Age, the Dvina-Dniepr waterway succeeded the Vistula as the main trade route to Greece for the Gutar (or Gotar in standard Old Norse), and it is not surprising that it also replaced the Vistula in the migration traditions.
		The Gutasaga contains several referenses to the relationship between Gotland and Sweden, and asserts that it is based on mutual agreements, and notes the duties and obligations of the Swedish King and Bishop in relationship to Gotland.

	Gotlander - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Their oldest history is retold in the Gutasaga, where it is related that because of overpopulation one third of the Gutar had to emigrate and settle in southern Europe.
		The fact that the ethnonym is identical to Goth may be the reason why they are not mentioned as a special group until Jordanes' Getica, where they may be those who are called Vagoths (see Scandza).
		Before the 7th century, they made a trade and defence agreement with Swedish kings, according to the Gutasaga.
