	Wollin - LoveToKnow 1911

		Jomsburg had been founded and built by King Harald Bluetooth of Denmark, who possessed a great earldom in Wendland.
		There was a very fine harbour or dock made within the Burgh, in which three hundred longships could lie at the same time, all being locked within the strongly built walls of granite with their massive gates of iron.
		The Jomsburg vikings were a well disciplined company of pirates who made war their exclusive business, living by rapine and plunder.

	Early Kings of Norway - Chapter V.
		The Jomsburgers, one might fancy, after this sad clap went visibly down in the world; but the fact is not altogether so.
		Perhaps it might be the Jomsburgers; perhaps also not; for there were many pirate associations, lasting not from century to century like the Jomsburgers, but only for very limited periods, or from year to year; indeed, it was mainly by such that the splendid thief-harvest of England was reaped in this disastrous time.
		Whether our refitted Jomsburgers had the least thing to do with it is only matter of fancy, but if it were they who here again got a good beating, fancy would be glad to find herself fact.

	The Story of the Ere-Dwellers: Chapter 29
		(1) "He was in Jomsburg when Styrbiorn the Strong won it." This passage, together with its context, must refer to a lost saga of Biorn the Broadwickers' champion.
		The capture of Jomsburg by the Swedish prince Biorn, generally known as Styrbiorn, with the surnames of "Svia kappi" (Swedes: champion), or "Sterki" (the Strong), is set forth in the fragmentary record known as "Thattr Styrbjarnar Svia kappa" (Fornmannasogur, v, 245-51).
		No sojourn with Palnatoki or the Jomsburg vikings of any considerable duration could have taken place, for by the utmost stretch the year of Biorn's going abroad cannot be put earlier than 984.

	Styrbiorn the Strong / Eric Rucker Eddison. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		A genial, cultured British civil servant, Eddison also wrote three other novels, known as the Zimiamvian Trilogy, only loosely connected to The Worm Ouroboros, and although recently reprinted they are not up to the standards of his magnum opus.
		The story tells of young Styrbiorn, exiled from Upsala by his uncle, King Eric, and of his battles and deeds of valor, his betrayal by his uncles wife, his allegiance with the fierce Jomsburg viking Palnatoki and his men, and his final great battle to overthrow Eric and claim his inheritance as King of Sweden.
		Styrbiorn The Strong is a book that will thrill and delight any admirer of E. Eddison and of heroic fantasy.
