Extractions: after the conversion of Iceland to Christianity. There are a number of narrative poems, called eddas , which tell tales of Norse gods: Hymiskvitha , and many others. These narratives would be collected in a larger prose work, the Edda written by Snorri Sturluson (1178-1241) and called the Snorra Edda in Icelandic. Thing or "Assembly." Here the separate clans would primarily deal with conflicts among members of the clan and exact reparations in order to prevent blood-feuds. In spite of this, however, the picture that Icelandic history gives us is one of fairly regular, low-level warfare between individuals and clans. sagas , are the greatest works of European literature until the Renaissance. Some sagas tell large-scale histories of the settlement of Iceland or Greenland, but the great genius of the saga-tellers was their focus on individuals and on the relentlessly human aspect of Norse life. In sagas such as Laxdaelasaga Njal's Saga , the larger history of Iceland fades into the dramas of individual passions, heroism, and revenge, a world of human passions and gestures. These sagas are perhaps our best glimpse of the Norse world view. Unlike the European world view, it was relentlessly focussed on the human side of historical events, how history and violence are germinated in the human mind and in human emotions. The world of the sagas is an unpredictable and arbitrary world where social order is only maintained on the thinnest of threads. Europe would not see their equal again until William Shakespeare sat down and put pen to paper.

Extractions: Valhalla Scandinavian Mythology, pre-Christian religious beliefs of the Scandinavian people. Most information about Scandinavian mythology is preserved in the Old Norse literature (Icelandic, Swedish, and Norwegian Literature), in the Eddas and later sagas; other material appears in commentaries by the Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus and the German writer Adam of Bremen (flourished about 1075). Fragments of legends are sometimes preserved in old inscriptions and in later folklore. Gods and Heroes Besides Odin, the major deities of Scandinavian mythology were his wife, Frigg, goddess of the home; Thor, god of thunder, who protected humans and the other gods from the giants and who was especially popular among the Scandinavian peasantry; Frey, a god of prosperity; and Freya, sister of Frey, a fertility goddess. Other, lesser gods were Balder, Hermod, Tyr, Bragi, and Forseti; Idun, Nanna, and Sif were among the goddesses. The principle of evil among the gods was represented by the trickster Loki. Many of these deities do not seem to have had special functions; they merely appear as characters in legendary tales.

The Norse
The norse, Introduction. The World of the norse. (also known as the Vikings).A Viking Timeline. A detailed chronology ranging from 4000 BCE to 1300 CE.
http://www.brown.edu/Departments/Medieval_Studies/norse.html

Extractions: Ancient Scandinavia was dominated by speakers of North Germanic languages, including Old Norwegian, Old Swedish, Old Danish, and Old Icelandic. Scandinavians did not participate in the first wave of Germanic migrations that destroyed the Roman Empire, but in the eighth century some of them initiated a second wave of Viking invasions. The typical Viking was a landless young man who made a living as a pirate, sometimes preying on other Scandinavians as well as peoples farther south. Most Scandinavians were farmers or traders who regarded Vikings with grave suspicion, and in the early literature Vikings often come across as arrogant louts who brag too much about their exploits abroad. Contrary to popular belief, Vikings did not wear horned helmets, though some of their armor is decorated with representations of earlier Germanic warriors wearing such helmets. The term Viking invasion is sometimes used for attacks by large fleets of ships under the command of an aristocrat who would probably not have been called a Viking by his fellow Scandinavians, at least not to his face. Study of Old Norse texts is especially informative about early Germanic culture because the Scandinavians were converted to Christianity much later than the East and West Germanic peoples (around 1000 CE). By this time, Roman Christianity was well established in Western Europe and no longer felt much threatened by the few remaining traces of pre-Christian thought. Norse mythology could be used as ornamental material in Scandinavian poetry without offense, much as pagan Greek and Roman mythology was used by the deeply religious John Milton to ornament his Christian epic

http://www.ravensgard.org/prdunham/ngames.html

Extractions: The Norse were interested in many games. Included among them were: The basic rules are as follows: The game is fought in two stages. In stage one each player is permitted to place one of his nine pieces at any junction of line segments (corners or center-lines) in succession. An opponents piece may be taken when a player manages to get three pieces on a single line segment (a mill). (A very few versions do not permit this in stage one.) The strategies in this stage are related to, but are more complex than, the strategies for Tic-Tac-Toe (Noughts and Crosses). When all pieces are down, stage two begins (assuming one of the players hasn't wiped out his opponent; unusual but possible). Each player in succession may move one piece along any line segment to the next junction on that segment. Jumping is not normally permitted. The object in this stage is also to form lines of three (mills). The game ends in one of three ways: a tie, by agreement of the players that neither will be able to form further mills; a win, where one player has been reduced to 2 pieces and is thus unable to make further mills; and finally the equivalent of a stalemate in chess, where one of the players is physically unable to move any of his pieces due to the blocking positions of his opponents pieces. The interpretation of this last position varies, but I think the tendancy is to view it as a loss for the player who can't move. Most of the more complex rules involve what constitutes a mill and what pieces if any need to move to make a new mill.
