Cheers, Phil. To add to the above postings I would suggest going to "Henry V11" on this site about a wooden round table that was scientifically found to be a total fake, yet some say "it's a copy of an earlier one", but there is no proof of that what-so-ever.

Much later he was known as "Eric Bloodaxe" but while he lived he was just known "Eric the Dane". Books after c1700 call him Eric Bloodaxe the Viking, indeed an invention just like some other Danes given a second-name, e.g., Harolds "blue-tooth", etc. Note: the Sagas were written later from handed-down spoken traditions, but added-too and some are a contradiction of much earlier contemporary Mss, one example being the A.S. Chronicles anal AD 867. Dave. There was an Eric who became a king in York and coins found of this person give his name "eric".

Vic was an early word used, e.g., a channel-dyke to moor-up a boat, but the name Viking was invented by English writers no earlier than c.1700. Contemporary manuscripts such as those known by the title Anglo-Saxon Chronicals when correctly translated give us words such as "Danes", "the Danish Host", etc., yet there is another example in the continuation of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicals for the year 1066, indeed a correct translation is Harold and the "Norwegians", - the name Viking was never used. An early part of what became England when won and settled by invading Norsefolk became known by the title "The Danelaw" because then it was under their rule. It was not "The Vikinglaw". Also, the early Anglo-Saxon kings paid the invaders money or gold to not invade or pillage their land and this payment was called "The Danegeld", not "Viking-geld", but often the payment was to no-avail. The Normans (Norse or North-men) came in 1066 from an area where they had earlier settled. It became known as Normandy not Vikingdy. Serious academics will agree that the terms "Viking and Vikings" are an invention. .......................

Interesting to note how much modern Europe owes the Vikings politically, geographically, and culturally. The very place William called home, Normandy, still carries the name of the Norsemen. So in a way, England was actually attacked by two Viking leaders. Just look at the Bayeux Tapestry: it depicts the Norman force crossing the English Channel in Viking longships. The Vikings were everywhere throughout Europe, Russia and the Mediterranean for several centuries before Stamford Bridge and Hastings. Harald's defeat at Stamford Bridge seemed to signal the waning of Viking expansionism and plunder. Fascinating article about a great battle later overshadowed by an even greater battle.
