i heard intresting thing some time ago...everyone who have read Orkneyinga saga knows that Norrje is named after finnish king Nor, but why is it Nor(way)/Nor(veg)...because it's way to Finland which was rich place when hunns?(hunnit) spread fear in the middle Europe...if you wanted to trade with finns you had to use Norway...

...just wanted to discuss about history and stuff...:cool:

That's quite interesting, I didn't know that. I think I'll have a look into this Orkneyinga Saga.

Håpp!
A question for mr.Moloturpa:
Is this saga to be found somewhere in the internet?
If yes,where?
It would be very interesting to read more about that....

If anyone is interested on the abovementioned topic,I found by accident (really!!!) these pages,which should give some information about the Finland/Norway-thing.

And yes,it seemed that there was no link in English. :(
Sorry for you folks out there.

OK - here's a website I came across - in english - about the Orkneyinga Saga for anyone who is interested.

www.orkneyjar.com/history/saga.htm

There's also many books available on the subject from Barnes & Noble, Amazon, etc.
