Uppsala

Expansion by grace of the Church was the normal method in those days.

Henry of Anjou was negotiating at Rome for the bull authorising his annexation of Ireland at about the time when Eric of Sweden was gaining a foothold across the Gulf of Bothnia; and it is in keeping with the cosmopolitan character of medieval Christianity that King Eric's right-hand man in the crusade was Bishop Henry of Uppsala, an Englishman by birth, who laid down his life in the work, and who is Finland's patron saint to this day.

The cathedral at Orbo, the ancient capital, and still the ecclesiastical capital of the country, is dedicated to St. Henry, and the great summer and winter fairs are held on the days associated with his death, and with the transfer of his body from Nausis to Orbo.

There can be no doubt that the conquest by Sweden was the best thing that could have happened to the Finns.

The standard Danish translation is that of R. Njerup, Copenhagen 1865.

In 1746, J. Gurinson printed at Uppsala the first Swedish version with a Latin translation.

Gurinson's original was the Codex Upsaliensis.

Anders Upstrom made an independent translation in 1859.

Then Vöggr said, "Above all kings be thou most blessed of givers.

Now I swear an oath that I shall be that man's slayer who slays thee." Then spake the king, laughing loudly, "Vöggr is pleased with a small thing." Another example is the tale told concerning the valor of Hrolfr Kraki.

That king whom men call Adils ruled over Uppsala.

He had to wife Yrsa, mother of Hrolfr Kraki.

You know, all jokes aside, I didn't really apply anywhere.

The son of a petty prince in the south of Norway, he had sought a bride from the court of a neighboring chieftain.

The maiden returned the contemptuous answer that she would not throw herself away on a king who had but a few districts for a kingdom, and added the taunt that it was strange no prince in Norway could make the whole country subject to him as Gorm the Old had done in Denmark and Eric at Uppsala.

Incited by this spirited reply, Harald swore a solemn oath never to clip or comb his hair until he had subdued the whole of Norway or to die in the attempt.

And forthwith, says the saga, he devoted his life to this great aim.
