Talk:Danes (tribe)

message: Comanche seems to object to the fact that the Anglo-Saxons during some parts of history referred to all Scandinavians as Danes, based on the fact that all Scandinavians are not Danes. Has it not occurred to you that the Anglo-Saxons were wrong? Using the wrong name for a people is not unique. Maybe the indigenous inhabitants of the British Isles met Danes first and then used the same name on other people who to them seemed to be of the same origin. Or maybe most of the Viking they encountered were Danes and so they used the name on all Vikings. Minor parts of what was called the Danelaw area was for instance sometimes ruled by Vikings of Norwegian origins. Inge 21:05, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

text: From Britannica "Danes Invade England" "The new invaders were Scandinavians from Norway and Denmark (see Vikings). The English called them Danes." Please leave the information in. Inge 13:31, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Anglo-Saxons and the Scandinavians 

message: Upon examination of the Danelaw, specifically the fact that "Dane" and "Danish" is used extensively and that there was a documented conflict between the "Danes" and the "Norse" under Magnus I of Norway. Therefor, though they are similar, they are not the same and should not be merged. Noles1984 (talk) 21:28, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Has anyone done a fact check on the Tilsted character mentioned? Something smells fishy to me.. 85.81.40.95 (talk) 18:23, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I could not find any mention of the Tilsted person or tribe on internet, so maybe your suspicions are right. Iselilja (talk) 18:38, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Well... you could try borrow the book that was referenced in the text. I don't know if the Tilsted clan ever existed, but just because you (as in you) cannot find anything on the internet, doesn't mean it is wrong. Write back when you have fact-checked on the Tilsted in the book, please. If not, I will reinstall the text you erased later. RhinoMind (talk) 18:46, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Feel free to reinsert the text if you think it right. Iselilja (talk) 18:52, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Vikings did not have "clans". Tilsted is a place in Denmark, and does not even look like a personal name "sted" means place. There is a family with the surname Tilsted, but that is derived from the placename. There is no Chronica Sialandie that source is clearly a hoax. And in google books I can see page 376 and 378 of Stenton's book, though not the page 377 that is cited. The context does speak about Danelagen and the Danegeld, but does not seem to go into details on any Danish vikings. I will keep removing this content untill positive support from reliable sources is found. That includes if you reinsert it without having checked the book. There are no mentions of the alleged "Tilsted" in either google scholar or google books. User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 19:10, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi. I agree that it indeed sounds fishy, but this is not about personal opinions. See my explanation below. RhinoMind (talk) 11:28, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

text: Nah, it was a hoax. Hoaxes happen all the time on wikipedia. The only online references to "Tilsted the Viking" were to this page. Even if it turns out that Stenton mentions it and it is real, including it this prominent in an article that is not about "Tilsted" and his alleged role in the Viking conquest of England would be a serious amount of  undue weight. The article is supposed to be about the tribe of Danes, and its coverage of any individual should be proportionate to the coverage in the literature on that topic.

thread_title:  Tilsted hoax? 

message: In the hope that others might contribute or as a to-do for myself, I have initiated a section on the settlements in France by the Danes in the Viking Age. I am of course thinking about Normandy in particular. Other areas of interest are present day Germany and Poland, in particular Wolin and Rügen. Jomsborg might be a legend (although I doubt that), but Danish royalty had close ties to the slavs of this region and there were larger settlements by Danes there, including graveyards, that later dissappeared. It would also be interesting to include some mention of the extent of the Danes settlements in Scania and what we now call southern Sweden. Perhaps also the Jutlandic parts of present day northern Germany. RhinoMind (talk) 17:32, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
