Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present some aspects of the image of Northern Norway in the Viking period. The article first sketches the Viking Age and its underlying causes, by also defining, in brief, the specificity of the Vikings. It continues with considerations on the creation of Norway, so as to finally outline the country’s image in the Viking Age. Aspects of navigation, language and trade are also presented in short. This entire portrayal of Northern Norway in Viking times is based on Ottar’s account about Northern Norway at the court of King Alfred. From a literary perspective, Harald Hårfagrets Saga (The Saga of Harald Fairhair) from about 850 was analysed. This saga tells the story of a Danish princess being transformed into a Norwegian woman. Thus, one encounters the myth of Northern women. All these aspects lead to a comprehensive image of Northern Norway in the Viking Age.

维京时代的挪威北部
本文的目的是呈现维京时期挪威北部形象的一些方面。本文首先概述了维京时代及其潜在原因,并简要地定义了维京人的特殊性。它继续考虑挪威的创建,从而最终勾勒出该国在维京时代的形象。航海、语言和贸易方面的内容也在简短的介绍中。维京时代对挪威北部的整个描述都是基于奥塔尔在阿尔弗雷德国王宫廷里对挪威北部的描述。从文学的角度分析了850年左右的《哈拉尔德的传奇》。这个传奇故事讲述了一个丹麦公主变成挪威女人的故事。因此,我们遇到了北方女性的神话。这些方面构成了一个完整的维京时代挪威北部的形象。
