Terra Scania |

Line 174:
:''According to ninth century Frankish sources, by the early 9th century many of the chieftains in the south of Scandinavia acknowledged Danish kings as their overlords. The west and south coast of modern Sweden was so effectively under Danish control that the area was known as Denmark (literally the frontier of the Danes). In the ninth century, various Svear chieftains gathered tribute in Finland and northern Russia.''
Note that Williamborg states that there was a Danish kingdom but also that there were only chieftains in Sweden. Surely, Sawyer is worth being mentioned, but if this information is a correct reflection of that scholar's POVs and hypotheses, they have to be presented as such.--[[User:Wiglaf|Wiglaf]] 08:40, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
== Terra Scania ==
I'm currently changing links from Terra Scania to "Scanian lands". As P.I. pointed out, Terra Scania is an incorrect form -- it has to be Terra Scaniae to be correct, and in those cases, "Scanian lands" is a direct translation. // [[User:Fred chessplayer|Fred]]-[[User_talk:Fred chessplayer|Chess]] 13:18, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
