According to Constantine VII, the Krivichs and other tribes dependent on Kiev transported hollowed-out sailboats, or monoxyla, which could accommodate thirty to forty people, to places along the rivers. These sailboats were then transported along the Dnieper to Kiev. There they were sold to the Varangians who re-equipped them and loaded them with merchandise. [2] Routes and places [ edit ] The city was called Augusta Antonina ( Greek: Αυγούστα Αντωνινή) for a brief period in the 3rd century AD. The Roman Emperor Septimius Severus (193–211) conferred the name in honor of his son Antoninus, the later Emperor Caracalla. [9] New Rome [ edit ]

Byen ligger på begge sider af Bosporusstrædet og dermed i både Europa og Asien ( Anatolien). Den ældste del af byen, på tyrkisk kaldet Stamboul, ligger på den europæiske side, og den anatolske side blev først bebygget i starten af 1900-tallet. Et mindre stræde, Det gyldne Horn, skiller denne fra det mere moderne erhvervs- og velhaverkvarter Taksim. Størstedelen af byens indbyggere (65%, mere end otte millioner) bor på den europæiske side, og det er også her de nye finanskvarterer holder til i Levant og Maslak.Escaping to Eastern Norway, with help from Rögnvald Brusason, Harald stayed at a remote farm to allow his wounds to heal. A month later he secretly travelled over the mountains to Sweden and, about a year after the battle, finally arrived in the relative safety of Kyivan Rus. Exile to Kyivan Rus Istanbul har en hel del slotte, parker, metroer, toge og moskeer med en meget betydningsfuld historie bag sig. On the other hand, he also has a violent side, but it is rarely seen, as he controls it. We’ve only seen him lose control of himself when Gardar killed his friends. It’s likely Harald’s main plan was to claim the throne of his father’s previous petty kingdom and then claim the rest either by diplomacy or force. Instead, Magnus returned home and, on the word of his advisors, sought to build an alliance rather than engage in a war. Ashour, Radwa (2010). Mehrez, Samia (ed.). A Piece of Europe.

Stamboul or Stambul is a variant form of İstanbul. Like Istanbul itself, forms without the initial i- are attested from early on in the Middle Ages, first in Arabic sources of the 10th century [33] and Armenian ones of the 12th. Some early sources also attest to an even shorter form Bulin, based on the Greek word Poli(n) alone without the preceding article. [34] (This latter form lives on in modern Armenian.) The word-initial i- arose in the Turkish name as an epenthetic vowel to break up the St- consonant cluster, prohibited in Turkish phonotactics. Ybarra, T.R. (1929-12-15).

The Vikings called Constantinople The Great City because it had the biggest walls ever seen. And the translation of “The Great City” is Miklagard.

Miklagard er en flad organisation, og det stiller en masse krav til alle medarbejdere i Miklagard. Men det giver også en masse muligheder, og vores virksomhedsfilosofi er meget anderledes end de fleste arbejdspladser. Bolli Bollason – goes to Miklagård willing to discover and to be acquainted with more than his native Icelandic territories. He entered the Varangian guard and, after a few years, he returned to his origin place full of riches: “He had on the clothes of fur which the Garth-king had given him, he had over all a scarlet cape; and he had Footbiter girt on him, the hilt of which was dight with gold, and the grip woven with gold; he had a gilded helmet on his head and a red shield on his flank, with a knight painted on it in gold. He had a dagger in his hand, as is the custom in foreign lands [...]. Laxdæla Saga was a major turning point in British history as Anglo-Saxon rule came to an end, to be replaced by the modern monarchy that persists to this day. For the Vikings in Norway, however, it was more than simply a turning point in history. Later, the name Byzantium became common in the West to refer to the Eastern Roman Empire, whose capital was Constantinople. As a term for the east Roman state as a whole, Byzantium was introduced by the historian Hieronymus Wolf only in 1555, a century after the empire, whose inhabitants called it the Roman Empire ( Medieval Greek: Βασιλεία τῶν Ῥωμαίων, romanized: Basileia tōn Rhōmaiōn, lit.'kingdom of the Romans'), had ceased to exist. [8] Augusta Antonina [ edit ] Harold’s brother Tostig hated Harold and encouraged Harald Hardrada to come and claim the throne. Harald got a crew together and raided from the North of England. They initially succeeded at the Battle of Gate Fulford where he defeated the Earls Edwin and Morcar.Hardrada was only 15 years old when he joined his half-brother in a deadly pursuit. King Olaf II had not only been toppled by Cnut the Great of Denmark but also exiled from Norway. Hardrada tried to assist him in his bloody struggle to regain power until the banished king fell in the Battle of Stiklestad in 1030 A.D. It is suggested that while Snake isn’t a historical character, he was based on Orm, the main character of the book Röde Orm, written by a Swedish author named Frans G. Bengtsson in the 1940s. Orm was a young boy traveling with Viking warriors that reached as far as Spain, where he was given a curved sword. Besides Kustantiniyyah, Persian, Arabic and other languages of the Iranian Plateau and Indian subcontinent used names based on the title Cesar ('Emperor'), as in Persian and Urdu Kayser-i Zemin, [9] or on the ethnic name Rum ('Romans'), as in Arabic Rūmiyyat al-kubra ('Great City of the Romans') or Persian Takht-e Rum ('Throne of the Romans'). [34] Judaeo-Spanish [ edit ] The Rus state of Vladimir the Great left a great legacy. It united administratively and culturally a rising region and turned it into a dynamic kingdom. The Orthodox Church became the dominant church in Eastern Europe thanks to the cultural influence of the Eastern Roman Empire that created a Byzantine-Slavic fusion, with impressive results in culture and the arts. Many rulers adopted imperial ceremonies at their courts and assumed the title of Czar, which was a Slavic translation of the Byzantine title 'Caesar.' After a couple of years helping Yaroslav in Kyivan Rus, Harald and his men set out to travel further South. Making money in Miklagard

Byzantium has left us a glorious legacy in art and literature, the refinement of morals, philosophy and civil law, diplomacy and medicine. The preservation of all the ancient knowledge. It’s power and influence shaped our side of the planet for many centuries. For eleven centuries Constantinople was the center of the world and acted as a formidable shield for Europe. East and South Slavic languages referred to the city as Tsarigrad or Carigrad, 'City of the Tsar (Emperor)', from the Slavonic words tsar (' Caesar' or ' Emperor') and grad ('city'). Cyrillic: Царьград, Цариград. This was presumably a calque on a Greek phrase such as Βασιλέως Πόλις (Basileos Polis), 'the city of the emperor [emperor]'. The term is still occasionally used in Bulgarian, whereas it has become archaic in Russian, and Macedonian. In Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin, Serbian and Slovene, Carigrad is a living alternative name for the modern city, as well as being used when referring to the historic capital of the medieval Roman Empire or the Ottoman Empire. In Czech (a West Slavic language) this Slavic name is used in the form Cařihrad (used in the 19th century, now only occasionally). It was also borrowed from the Slavic languages into Romanian in the form Țarigrad, [42] though Constantinopol remained the far more widely preferred term.
