		The uual Scandinavian name was Jórsalaland, literally, "the land of Jerusalem"; the Holy City itself was Jórsalir or Jórsalaborg.5 One of the earliest northern pilgrims to visit Jerusalem and the Holy Places, circa 990, was Icelander Thorvald the Far-travelled, a distinguished Viking before his conversion by a Saxon bishop, Frederick.
		Unfortunately, Eirik never reached the Holy Land; he fell ill of a fever and died in Cyprus, and was buried, according to Abbot Nikolás, in the church at Baffa, where there was a Varangian garrison.19 His queen, Bodhild, died soon after, but not before reaching Palestine with the rest of the Danish company.
		It would be foolish to suggest that the northern converts came to the Holy Land merely as a continuation of their pagan activities.
