It was captured by Ivar the Boneless, son of Ragnar Lodbrok, son of Sigurd Ring, Swedish king at Uppsala. Not a Dane.

>>53926447
It was given to Norway by the Danish. We were the first vikings to the touch England anyways, so it's only fair we got a piece of the cake.

>The invaders are usually identified as Danes, although the tenth-century churchman Asser stated that the invaders came "de Danubia", which translates as "from the Danube", the fact that the Danube is located in what was known in Latin as Dacia suggests that Asser actually intended Dania, a Latin term for Denmark.[6]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigurd_Hring
>Sigurd Hring (Old Norse: Sigurðr hringr (Hringr meaning 'Ring')) (fl.ca 750) was a legendary Swedish king mentioned in many old Scandinavian sagas. According to Bósa saga ok Herrauds, there was once a saga on Sigurd Hring, but this saga is now lost. In the old sources, he is notable for winning the Battle of the Brávellir against Harald Wartooth and for being the father of Ragnar Lodbrok.

>>53926712
Ragnar Lodbrok is a fictional character.

>>53926545

Everyone was called Danes, more or less, by the English. Ragnar Lodbrok and his sons, however, were Swedish by blood and later ruled certain lands in that capacity. The great heathen army was composed of Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians alike, anyway (in whatever capacity such abstractions existed then). Yes, they all more or less came from Denmark, or Jutland, because that was a good place to launch such campaigns and raids.

Obviously you wish to appropriate the history of others because Sweden has barely has any history worth mentioning. It must suck, so I understand your efforts.

The "viking" influences stemmed predominantly from Norway and Denmark and the respecitve cultures merged and expanded (and conquered). They have nothing to do with Sweden outside of the residual appropriation.

>>53926770

Not exactly. It's semi-legendary history. There was a person, or several people, who gave rise to this, however. Ragnar's sons, and the house that he spawned, however, can certainly be considered real. We refer to it as the House of Munsö, or Björn Ironside's house (because of the above), into which the first proper kings of Sweden were born.

England, Israel, Europe, Canada, "America", some irrelevant islands (not Britain), African shitholes, Indochina...

>>53927041
The problem is, his sons aren't really his sons.

Also, Halfdan didn't just stroll into England and conquer what is now Yorkshire on his own. He did it with Danish muscle, regardless of his ancestry, so it should be considered a Danish accomplishment.

>>53926942

You realize that there are lots of written accounts of Swedish raids and exploits in England, right?

And besides, your national epic is about a Swedish hero anyway. Get your own heroes, m8.

>>53927210
>The problem is, his sons aren't really his sons.

Nevertheless, they are considered Swedish. At least by our accounts and the Icelandic sagas. The Danish accounts probably differ, of course.

And as for the army, as I have previously pointed out, it was far from exclusively Danish.

I have told you what I know of this, and you don't care to listen, apparently. That's all I can do. Aside from hoping that you read up on what I've said. You could even read the sagas themselves -- there are excellent translations. The fornaldar sagas (the ancient sagas) in particular concern ancient Swedish history, of which Ragnar Lodbrok's saga, is part.

You could also read up on Beowulf, if you like. He was half-Geatish, half-Swedish. Which I guess is how you could characterize the modern Swedish nation, actually.

But, all of this kind of assumes that you have an interest in history. Which isn't a given.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiberno-Roman_relations
>There is some evidence of possible exploratory expeditions during the time of Gnaeus Julius Agricola, although the interpretation of this is a matter of debate amongst historians. In places like Drumanagh (interpreted by some historians to be the site of a possible Roman fort or temporary camp) and Lambay island, some Roman military-related finds may be evidence for some form of Roman presence.[7] The most commonly advanced interpretation is that any military presence was to provide security for traders, possibly in the form of an annual market where Romano-British and Irish met to trade. Other interpretations, however, suggest these may be merely Roman trading outposts, or native Irish settlements which traded with Roman Britain. Later, during the collapse of Roman authority in the 4th and 5th centuries, Irish tribes raided Britain and may have brought back Roman knowledge of classical civilization.
>However, whether this is evidence of trade, diplomacy or military activity is a matter of controversy. It is possible that the Romans may have given support to Túathal, or someone like him, to regain his throne in the interests of having a friendly neighbour who could restrain Irish raiding.[9]
>It is also speculated that such an invasion may have been the origin of the presence of the Brigantes in Ireland as noted in Ptolemy's 2nd century Geography. The Brigantes were a rebellious British tribe only recently conquered in Agricola's time. The dispossessed nobility may have been ready recruits for Tuathal's invasion force, or the Romans may have found it a convenient way of getting rid of troublesome subjects, just as Elizabeth I and James VI & I planted rebellious Scots in Ireland in the 16th and 17th century.
