Poems such as Hallfred Óttarsson’s “Óláfsdrápa”, Sigvat Þórðarson’s “Víkingarvísur” or Óttar Svarti’s “Hǫfuðlausn” have been perceived as testimonials to the memory of the Viking past, and they were often utilized by the poets themselves in their efforts to present their creative output as fundamental in the creation of the ideology of power. The presented article proposes a different approach to the poems praising the warrior deeds of the Scandinavian rulers. The author posits that the selected poems were not only meant to commemorate the warrior feats of their heroes, but first and foremost to emphasize their kingly attributes. To this end, the poems presented the victims of the Viking attacks as rebels and evildoers, righteously punishe...

The fame of the battle was strictly co nnected with particu- lar personas involved in the conflict, among them t he Norwegian king Olafr Tryggvason played the most significant role. The battle itself and its circumstances proved that Olafr was a great, warlik e, valiant and at the same time deeply Christian to do monarch, whose death was compared to martyrdom. The saga authors, thoroughly describing all events connected with the battle of Svoldr, included also Sigvaldi, the jarl of Jomsborg, in their narratives. According to most accounts, the jarl was member of coalition, Olafr Tryggvason's enemies, who planned to trap the Norwegian king, depriving him of life a nd power. Sig- valdi's role was to pretend Olafr's friend and ally and lead him from Vindland, where he stayed, directly into trap. The saga authors created their narratives abou...

Research paper thumbnail of Anonimowy poemat "Liðsmannaflokkr" i problem jego odbiorcy : ślad pobytu córki Mieszka I, matki Knuta Wielkiego, w Anglii?

Studia Źrodloznawcze, 2009

Dzięki wnikliwym studiom Russella Poole'a wiemy już dużo na temat treści tego poematu, zachowanego w Knytlinga sadze oraz tzw. Legendarnej Sadze o Olafie Świętym, liczby i układu składających się na niego strof 1. Niemniej kilka kwestii pozostaje nadal nierozstrzygniętych. Przede wszystkim wątpliwości budzi zagadnienie roli, jaką pełnił poemat oraz osoby, do której skald adresował swój utwór. Zazwyczaj widzi się w Liðsmannaflokkr typowy pane giryk, poświęcony królowi Anglii i Danii Knutowi Wielkiemu i w domyśle wygłoszony bezpośrednio przed nim 2. Pojawiły się także opinie, iż skald zwracał się w wierszu do Emmy, wdowy po królu Anglii AEthelredzie, którą w 1017 r. poślubił Knut 3. Celem artykułu jest polemika z tymi poglądami, a w konsekwencji zaproponowanie w obydwóch kwestiach alternatywnych rozwiązań, które rzucić mogą nieco światła na losy córki Mieszka I, domniemanej Świętosławy, której historia do dziś przed stawia się bardzo tajemniczo i wzbudza wśród badaczy wiele kontrowersji. W pierwszej kolejności jednakże należy przyjrzeć się bliżej wydarzeniom, które rozegrały się w Anglii, w potencjalnym czasie kompozycji wiersza, a które znacząco wpłynęły na jego treść 4. W lu tym 1014 r. zmarł podczas wyprawy do Anglii król duński Swen Widłobrody. Jego śmierć zrodziła natychmiast problem dalszego pobytu tam duńskiej armii, pozbawionej teraz wodza. Według Kroniki Anglo-Saskiej, Duńczycy w Anglii wybrali królem syna Swena, Knuta 5. W tym samym czasie, wy korzystując nową sytuację, z wygnania powrócił do Anglii król AEthelred i zdołał odzyskać władzę w kraju. Natomiast Duńczycy, formalnie pod przewodnictwem Knuta, po złupieniu okolic Sandwich i zebraniu kolejnego danegeldu, opuścili Anglię kierując się do Danii, gdzie po śmierci Swena tron

Her fate, political ambitions and family perturbations revolved around her two sons — Cnut and Svein, born to the king of England and Denmark, Cnut the Great. Although we don’t know much about Ælfgifu of Northampton, and historical reality is intertwined with (mostly black) legends, it goes beyond any doubt that this high-born and charismatic woman took part in political games of England and Scandinavia in the first half of the 11th century, thus attracting the attention of history investigators

His military and political achievements, with taking over the English throne in 1013 as their peak, fully justify scholarly interest in his life and reign. This interest is determined by a variety of accessible sources that cast light on particular aspects of the king and his time.1 One can say that his reign is relatively well recognized and described. It seems to be true only to a certain extent. The successive stages of Sveinn’s domination in Scandinavia and his activity in England create quite a vivid picture. There also seems to remain less and less controversy concerning his attitude towards Christianity and the development of the Church in Denmark (...

That particular period of time bore witness to numerous significant economic, cultural and political changes (e.g. Christianization, centralization of the monarchy). In turn, those processes found their reflection in propagandist and ideological efforts for which the skaldic poetry was the primary vehicle. The monograph, therefore, aims at a holistic analysis and discussion of the political changes in Scandinavia in the 11th century, filtered through the lens of 11th century skaldic poetry. This comprehensive approach allows to better understand the conditions in which the skalds, who remained in service of their lords, lived and created their works. Moreover, it facilitates a discussion concerning the extent to which skaldic court poetry allows us to more comprehensively understand the meanders of the political situation of that ti...

International Scientific Conference "Sea, Pomerania and Us over the centuries", 2020

The year 2020 marks the centennial anniversary of Poland’s solemn wedding to the sea. Under the T... more The year 2020 marks the centennial anniversary of Poland’s solemn wedding to the sea. Under the Treaty of Versailles, signed on 28th June 1919, Poland was granted the right to more than 140 kilometers long coast of the Baltic Sea. On February 10, 1920, General Józef Haller threw a platinum ring into the Bay of Puck, which was meant to symbolize restored Polish access to the Baltic Sea.
Organizers of the conference, which will take place as part of the 6th Słupsk Historical Festival, intend to recall both this relatively close history involving restoration of a small stretch of Pomerania within territory of the Second Polish Republic, as well as to commemorate the more distant history of countries and lands, nations and communities related to the Baltic Sea. The subject matter of the conference revolves around the importance of the sea, not only for the inhabitants of Pomerania or the Baltic Sea region, but also for the landlocked countries. The interaction between people and the sea, followed by ensuing consequences, is of essential significance.
We would like to place the Baltic Sea and its importance at the center of considerations, not only for enclosing countries, but also for indirectly involved nations.
The chronological scope of the conference extends from antiquity to the twentieth century. This creates an opportunity to take a broad look at the history of peoples associated with the Baltic Sea.
Along the Baltic shores - in Ustka - we will discuss the following issues:
• The value of the sea in the history of the peoples occupying its shores.
• The importance of the sea for the cultural and economic development of the surrounding areas.
• Spiritual life and mentality of the inhabitants of the Baltic coast.
• The Baltic Sea - a sea that divides or a sea that connects?
• The geopolitical situation and everyday life of the countries of the Baltic Sea region.
• The plight of inhabitants of the Baltic shores over the centuries.
• The ways of resolving conflicts between people of the sea and landlubbers.
• The development of fleet and maritime transportation.
• Marine threads involving the Baltic Sea; fear and fascination with the sea.
• Conditions and aspects of old shipping - pirates, conflicts with the law, maritime disasters.
• Hardships of sea travel; fate of passengers, crew members.
• The history of people of the sea and Pomerania.
• Everyday life of inhabitants of the coastal area over the centuries.
• People of the sea - a difficult neighborhood: wars and alliances.
• Perception of the sea by the landlocked nations.
• The influence of the sea on national and cultural identity.

The framework of the conference enables the meeting of academics of various specialties: historians, archaeologists, political scientists, culture experts, ethnologists, literature specialists, museologists, archivists, bibliologists, art historians and other scholars.
The conference is meant to creat a forum for the exchange of research results and scientific experiences. The conference will be held for two days. Its launch will be preceded by a debate entitled: Poland on the Baltic Sea in the 20th century, led by Prof. Wojciech Skóra, which will take place on May 13, 2020 on the premises of the Pomeranian University in Słupsk.
The conference will be held on May 14, 2020 at the Navy Training Center in Ustka and on May 15, 2020 at the City Hall in Ustka. The program of the conference includes sightseeing of Ustka, including the Blücher Bunkers, the opportunity to get acquainted with SNIEZNIK, an advanced practicing - training system for simulation of small arms shooting and a gala dinner accompanied by a concert.
The declaration of participation (containing a brief summary of a given topic) must be sent up to March 31, 2020 to the following e-mail: konferencja.knh.ap.slupsk@gmail.com
By April 5, 2020 the organizers will verify all the entries and qualify submitted papers within relevant thematic sessions of the conference.
Papers presented at the conference (after positive reviews) will be published in a scholarly monograph by the Pomeranian University Press, included on the ministerial list of scored publishers.
Conference languages: English, German, Polish. It is also acceptable to present a paper in the native language of a given participant.
