Agnafit (original) (raw)
Agnafit (Old Norse: [ˈɑɣnɑˌfit]) or Agnefit was the name of a location where Lake Mälaren met the Baltic Sea. In the 14th century, an addition to the Historia Norwegiae described Agnafit as being where Stockholm had been founded. Some say that it was a fishing village located on the island Stadsholmen, before Stockholm was founded in 1252. Snorri attributes the name to king Agne and fit ("wet meadow"), but toponymists have suggested that Agne- can be derived from the practice of baiting fishing tools at the location.

| dbo:abstract | Agnafit (Old Norse: [ˈɑɣnɑˌfit]) or Agnefit was the name of a location where Lake Mälaren met the Baltic Sea. In the 14th century, an addition to the Historia Norwegiae described Agnafit as being where Stockholm had been founded. Some say that it was a fishing village located on the island Stadsholmen, before Stockholm was founded in 1252. It is moreover mentioned by Snorri Sturluson in the Heimskringla (Ynglinga saga) as the location where the Swedish king Agne was hanged by his captive bride Skjalf in his golden torc. She had been captured by Agne in Finland, and after Agne's execution she escaped with her thralls. Later in the Heimskringla (the Saga of Olaf Haraldsson), Snorri writes that king Olaf Haraldsson was captured by the Swedes in Mälaren and had to dig a channel at Agnafit to escape into the Baltic Sea. Snorri attributes the name to king Agne and fit ("wet meadow"), but toponymists have suggested that Agne- can be derived from the practice of baiting fishing tools at the location. The location is also mentioned in Ásmundar saga kappabana and in Orvar-Odd's saga. In the latter saga, it is mentioned in the Swedish hero Hjalmar's deathsong. He sang that he would never more see his beloved princess whom he bid farewell at Agnafit: When Orvar-Odd returned to Uppsala, the princess committed suicide and was buried with Hjalmar in the same barrow. (en) Agnafit ou Agnefit est l'ancien nom de l’endroit où le lac Mälar rencontre la mer Baltique. Au XIVe siècle, un paragraphe de l’Historia Norwegiae décrit Agnafit comme le lieu où Stockholm a été fondée. Certains disent que c'était une ville de pêcheurs située sur l'île de Stadsholmen, avant la fondation de Stockholm en 1252. Ce lieu est également mentionné par Snorri Sturluson dans Heimskringla (la Saga des rois de Norvège) comme l'endroit où le roi de Suède Agne a été pendu par sa jeune épouse à l'aide de son torque d'or. Capturée par Agne en Finlande, après l'exécution de son mari elle put s'échapper avec ses serfs. Plus loin dans Heimskringla, l'auteur écrit que le roi Olaf II de Norvège a été capturé par les suédois sur le lac Mälar. Il aurait dû creuser un canal à Agnafit pour s'échapper vers la mer Baltique. Snorri Sturluson explique l'étymologie du terme Agnafit comme un assemblage du nom du roi Agne et de fit (« prairie humide »), les toponymistes, quant à eux, suggèrent que Agne- pourrait provenir de l'usage d'outils de pêche à l'appât à cet endroit. Le lieu est également mentionné dans Ásmundar saga kappabana et dans Orvar-Odd's saga. Dans cette dernière, Agnafit est mentionné dans la chanson de la mort du héros suédois Hjalmar. Il chante qu'il ne pourrait jamais plus voir sa princesse bien-aimée à laquelle il fit ses adieux à Agnafit. Quand Orvar-Odd retourne à Uppsala, la princesse s'est suicidée et a été enterrée avec Hjalmar dans la même fosse. (fr) Agnafit o Agnefit è il luogo in cui il lago Mälaren si incontra con il mar Baltico. Nel XIV secolo un'appendice alla Historia Norvegiæ descriveva Agnafit come luogo di fondazione di Stoccolma. Alcuni dicono che si trattasse di un villaggio di pescatori situato sull'isola di Stadsholmen, prima che Stoccolma fosse fondata nel 1252. È inoltre citata da Snorri Sturluson nella Heimskringla (Saga degli Ynglingar) come luogo in cui il re svedese Agne fu impiccato dalla sua sposa che aveva catturato, Skjalf, con il suo torque d'oro. Era stata catturata da Agne in Finlandia, e dopo l'esecuzione di Agne fuggì con i propri servi. In seguito nella Heimskringla (Saga di Olaf Haraldsson), Snorri dice che re Olaf Haraldsson fu catturato dagli svedesi a Mälaren, e che dovette scavare un tunnel ad Agnafit per evadere tramite il mar Baltico. Secondo Snorri il nome deriva da re Agne e da fit ("prato umido"), ma gli studiosi di toponomastica concordano sul fatto che Agne derivi dagli strumenti di pesca del luogo. Il luogo viene citato anche nella Ásmundar saga kappabana e nella Örvar-Oddr. In quest'ultima saga si riporta la canzone di morte dell'eroe svedese Hjalmar. Egli dice che non avrebbe più rivisto la sua amata principessa a cui disse addio ad Agnafit. Quando Orvar-Odd tornò ad Uppsala, la principessa si suicidò e fu sepolta con Hjalmar nello stesso tumulo. (it) Agnefit eller Agnafit var enligt Snorre Sturlasson och andra benämningen på en forntida plats vid Mälarens utlopp. Platsen kan ha varit ett fiskeläge beläget på Stadsholmen i många sekler före Stockholms grundläggande på 1200-talet. Snorre förklarar namnet med att det skulle härröra från Agne Skjalfarbonde, en förmodad sveakung på 400-talet som mördades på holmen, och "fit" som är ett fornnordiskt ord med betydelsen "sank äng". Namnet förekommer även i skildringar av Olav Haraldssons tåg i Mälaren. Han skulle då ha genomgrävt Agnefit för att rädda sin i Mälaren instängda flotta. Moderna ortnamnsforskare identifierar istället förleden med det vanliga ordet "agn", och menar att fiskare skall ha utnyttjat strandängen antingen till att fånga agn eller för att agna sina redskap.
