	The Heruls / Eruli / Heruli / Heruler
		It is unknown if the Heruls being mentioned a few years later at the mouth of the Rhine were a group of mercenaries being resettled by the Romans or another branch of one of the people joining the Heruls.
		The only archaeological site to match these Heruls at the Scandinavian Peninsula was the unusual and mythical Uppsala in Uppland north of the Goetes, where the big royal mounds were erected in the 6th century.
		As the Heruls in case of an integration in Uppland must have been a minority and this was their second settlement only scattered finds from their past can be expected in Uppsala.

	Heruliis
		The Heruls, an old German tribe, that possibly emigrated from Själland, Denmark during the first centuries A.D. - perhaps driven away by the Danes.
		The Heruls in Scandinavia are not indentified in the works of the geographers or historians written before 550 AD, when Jordanes in The origin and deeds of the Goths tells of them in association with the origin of the Goths.
		Later in the sixth century, the remaining tribe of the Heruls at the Balkan lost their king, and sent for a new king with the right ancestory from their northern tribe settlement - wherever this was.

		The Heruls are first mentioned by Roman writers in the reign of Gallienus (260-268), when they accompanied the Goths ravaging the coasts of the Black Sea and the Aegean.
		The mixed warbands managed to sack Byzantium in 267, but their eastern contingent was virtually annihilated in the Balkans at the Battle of Naissus (Serbia) two years later, the battle that earned Marcus Aurelius Claudius his surname "Gothicus." A western contingent of Heruli are mentioned at the mouth of the Rhine in 289.
		These Heruls are usually regarded as Western Heruls; their settlements are assumed to have been somewhere at the lower Rhine.

	History and Origins of the Swedes
		The Heruls then, gradually returned to their ancestral land, beginning in the 2nd century AD after they built a fleet of 500 sailing ships, and terrorized all of the lands and peoples of the Black Sea and parts of the Mediterranean, even the Romans.
		The Romans noted that "the Heruls, a Scandinavian people, together with the Goths, were, from the 3rd century, ravaging the Black Sea, Asia Minor and the Mediterranean." The Romans called the Scandinavian region "Thule", while Greeks knew it as "Scandia", and others called the area "Scandza".
		The Herul brought with them a few Roman customs, one being the Julian calendar, which is known to have been introduced to Scandinavia at this time, the early 6th century.

	The Origin of Svear Reasons and prelude to the Viking age
		The Heruls, a Scandinavian people which together with the Gutans, or Goths as the Romans called them, were, from the 3rd century, ravaging the Black Sea, Minor Asia and the Mediterranean.
		After having been subdued firstly by the Goths and later by the Huns, those Heruls formed in the middle of the 5th century a state in upper Hungary.
		Some of the Heruls settled in Illyria under the protection of the Caesar of the Eastern Empire, but another part could not, says Prokopios, decide whether they should cross the Danube but decided instead to settle in the furthest parts of the, in that time, inhabited world.

		Well, he was not a Herul himself, but he was king of a large group of Heruls.
		Thus, we should probably use terms like 'the Odoaker Heruls', 'the Danube Heruls', the 'Rhineland Heruls' etc. Julian II and his follower called themselves > Erulicus, You probably mean Justinus II, as Julian ruled in the mid 4th century.
		Overall, there can hardly be any doubt that the Heruls were scattered around the region after their defeat of 508/9.

	LISTSERV 14.4
		The common opinion is that the Heruls probably lived somewhere in southern Denmark - Northern Germany (I can't find that Procopius claims that they originated from Thule) and when the Goths moved from the Vistula area to the Black Sea area the Heruls followed in their steps.
		The Heruls as well as part of the Goths (Ostrogoths) were subdued by the Huns.
		He thinks of the Heruls, that had emigrated to the south of Russia and to start with had been under the Ostrogoths and the Huns but after the fall of the Hun Empire had erected an independent state on the north side of the Danube on the border of present time Mähren and Hungary.

		My poor Heruls woke up just in time to be simultaeously taken in front and flank and ignominiously broken while his rampaging knights burst in amongst the routing archers to crash into the Burgundians made nervous by all the screams drifting through the misty air.
		My Heruls were out on my right flank; they were just there to keep his horsies on his left honest while the Alamanns did their dirty work.
		As it is, the Heruls got a lot of PiPs, so I sent them to occupy the hill on the right and distract him from the main issue.

	Article - The Heruls / Eruli / Heruli / Heruler
		If the first Heruls had their settlements at the lower Dnepr they could easily be mixed with some of the Sarmatian Alans or in the theory also with the Bosporani, who probably had an Iranian background too though being hellenised for centuries.
		As the Heruls had no written language it is obvious that a Greek or Roman listening to the Goths and Heruls around 268 AD in pluralis could write the name as "Heruli" or "Eruli".
		As the Heruls disappeared as a name in the 6th century most later scholarly spelling may be due to the traditional Latin spelling after 365 AD when "H" was used in the name.

		The Heruls, a Scandinavian people which together with the Gutans, or Goths as the Romans called them, were, from the 3rd century, ravaging the Black Sea, Minor Asia and the Mediterranean.
		There are several accounts about how the Heruls ravaged the shores of the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, alone and together with the Goths, why they must have been skillful seafarers.
		Some of the Heruls settled in Illyria under the protection of the Caesar of the Eastern Empire, but another part could not, says Prokopios, decide whether they should cross the Danube but decided instead to settle in the furthest parts of the, in that time, inhabited world.

	The Battle of Cremona - 544 AD
		Knowing the strength of the Goths lay in hand-to-hand combat, but their weakness in their ill-discipline, he planned to assault their centre, withdraw, and tempt the Goths forward, where they could be taken in the flank by the Lombards and Bloody John's men.
		The Heruls charged forwards into the Gothic line, impacting at the junction of Bessas' bucellarii and the leftmost elements of Uriah's mounted nobles.
		The weight and numbers of Uriah's horse had thrown back the Heruls to their front, and soon they were pressing upon the Byzantine reserve line, and Narses' guards were hard pressed beating off Gothic nobles eager to cut down the Byzantine general.

	The Battle of Syria,
		Behind the light horse were the Heruls and Skiri, veterans of Nikolos' previous victories, girt in bright mail carrying long spears and deadly swords, fearing no enemy.
		The Equites fared no better; the swiftness of the Heruls charge and the ferocity of the Skiri meant they had no time to throw their javelins before the Germans were upon them and in their ranks.
		In this frenzy the Equites remaining to Atulf were ridden down and the survivors scattered to the four winds sent on their way by the arrows of the Equites Sagittarii.

	The Ten Horns of Daniel 7
		East German Tribes: Bastarnae, the Gepids, the Rugians, the Heruls, the Scirians, the Vandals, the Burgundians, and the Goths (in the second century the Goths gradually divided into an eastern branch known as the Ostrogoths, and a western branch known as the Visigoths).
		The second part of their theory involves the idea that three of the ten kingdoms were destroyed so that a new kingdom could emerge.
		Of the proponents of the ten kingdom theory, none of the three that were cited at the beginning of this article list a reference for the idea that in 493 the Heruls were destroyed.

	Goths, Franks, and Justinian's Empire 476-610 by Sanderson Beck
		The Heruls had been granted land in Illyria, where their practices of killing the old and sick and letting wives hang themselves at their husbands' funerals were modified when they were converted to Christianity after Justinian became Emperor in 527; then they were given better land in Second Pannonia.
		Seeing Narses leaving, the Heruls also departed and sold their slaves and animals to Uraias in Liguria for gold, promising not to fight the Goths.
		Yet this opening enabled the two flanks of the imperial army to aim their arrows at the backs of the Alamanni fighting the other flank, and they were slaughtered with few Roman losses.

		Here is how Dr. Mervyn Maxwell, a theologian and historian, described the results in volume 1, page 129, of his book God Cares: "The Catholic emperor Zeno (474-491) arranged a treaty with the Ostrogoths in 487 which resulted in the eradication of the kingdom of the Arian Heruls in 493.
		And the Catholic emperor Justinian (527-565) exterminated the Arian Vandals in 534 and significantly broke the power of the Arian Ostrogoths in 538.
		Thus were Daniel's three horns' the Heruls, the Vandals, and the Ostrogoths--'plucked up by the roots.'

		Now you can see the Alans thunder into the second line of Huns, with the Heruls keeping pace with them: but the Hunnic line is fighting like wild men, slaying Alans left and right, even riding down a stray company or two of Heruls.
		Now the Alans have broken, and the battered Huns are falling on the flank of the Heruls, just as their Gothic allies have finally slipped the reins of restraint and dashed into the Herul front.
		Ahh, the Huns are broken at last, enough casualties to demoralise them, but not before they had rent a great hole in the Herul lines, large enough to have sent the Heruls reeling back in demoralisation.

		Around 500 BC there was an unknown people - the Heruls - living in south eastern Scandinavia, mainly in the north eastern corner of Scania (Skåne and Blekinge).
		Eventually some of the Heruls migrated westwards in Scandinavia and inhabited the coast land of what is now Norway and some even took the long step to Iceland where many traces are found.
		As always, as far as the pre-Sweden history in Scania is concerned, the academia of the Scanian University appears to be regarding the subject as untouchable, perhaps in some kind of fear for reprisals from Stockholm.

		With the assertion that it probably is the Heruls or Jarlar, as certain linguists translate Heruls with, mentioned by Prokopios, that establish the Ynglinga dynasty, in what we now call the Svea state, and become what we later call Svear, quite a lot of pieces fall into place.
		We must remember that the Heruls were a warlike people used to the sea, and such a people does not just disappear from history as earlier Swedish historians have treated them.
		Off course it is not strange that historians and linguists in vain have tried to find information about the Svear in Roman sources as the Romans had other names for the places and peoples up in the North.
