	Svear
		The Svear were an ancient people of Scandinavia, dwelling on the eastern coast of Sweden in the area of Uppsala and Stockholm, in the area around the shores of Lake Mälaren, the ancestral home of the original Swedes.
		They gave their name to the nation of Sweden, which in the Swedish language is Sverige, from Svea riket, the kingdom of the Svear.
		In literature, the Svear are named in the Old English epic Beowulf as Sweonas, and by the Roman author Tacitus under the name Sueones in his Germania.

	The Expeditions of the Svear (700CE-1000CE), Chapter 3
		The Svear were far away from most of the populations in Europe and the rest of Scandinavia, and it was this intervening distance and wilderness that isolated them from the influence of continental Europe.
		Svear, like other Scandinavian cultures, also had an organized system of laws and met in more or less organized assemblies.
		As a result of the raiding nearby, the Byzantine as long as the Svear did no damage locally and shared the gains with the rulers, In 907 Svear who arrived with merchandise and caused no violence in the city or countryside, were rewarded by the emperor with six months of provisions (Davidson 1976 : 90).

	Suiones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Suiones, Swedes, Svíar or Svear, were an ancient Germanic tribe in Scandinavia.
		As the dominions of the Swedish kings grew, the name was applied also to include the Geats during the Middle Ages, but later it returned to referring only the people inhabiting the original tribal lands in Svealand, in opposition to the Geats.
		In modern Scandinavian, the adjectival form svensk and its plural svenskar/svensker have replaced the name svear and is, today, used to denote all the citizens of Sweden in opposition to ancient tribal Swedes, the svear.

	Essä: Mellan svear och daner - Tvärsnitt
		I det av Vetenskapsrådet finansierade projektet "Mellan svear och daner" tar de ett samlat grepp om de processer som bidrog till att Skandinavien förvandlades från ett förhistoriskt utkantsområde till en del av den tidigmedeltida europeiska kulturen.
		I dag talas det ofta om globaliseringens effekter och om den komplexa, hastigt föränderliga värld vi lever i.
		I en kommande bok - Between Svear and Danes in the Dark Ages - presenterar vi en rad nya teorier om den roll skandinaviska samhällen spelade i 200-700-talets Europa och en modell som visar hur olika ändringar skulle kunna hänga samman.

		The name of the Geats lives on in the Swedish counties of Västra Götaland and Östergötland, the Western and Eastern lands of the Geats, as does the city Göteborg, known in English as Gothenburg.
		It is also based on the fact that in Beowulf, the Geats live east of the Daner and in close contact with the Svear, which fits the historical position of the Gautar.
		However, since the 19th century, several other nations have been suggested to correspond to the Geats, such as the Danes (Curt Weibull), the Jutes (Pontus Fahlbeck 1884), the Goths and the Gotlanders.

	Svear - Wikipedia, den fria encyklopedin
		Den allmänna uppfattningen är att svear tidigast troligen refererade till befolkningen i östra Svealand, men senare fick utsträckt betydelse och kom att användas som ett samlingsnamn för alla invånare på den östra halvan av den Skandinaviska halvön, för att på så sätt särskilja dem från daner och norrmän.
		Adjektivformen av svear, dvs svensk används idag som beteckning för medborgare i landet Sverige.
		Detta kväde handlar dock i huvudsak om danerna och geaterna (de flesta utländska historiker är idag överens om att det är götarna), men beskriver ingående konflikterna mellan götar och svear och i slutet förutspås det att götarna ska bli anfallna av svearna ännu en gång.
