Mysterious Jomsvikings: Fearless Scandinavian Warrior-Brotherhood
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - The mysterious Jomsvikings were no ordinary Viking warriors, but a fearless Scandinavian warrior-brotherhood. Each fighter must obey the 11 military rules set by the order. Violation of these rules could result in immediate expulsion from the order.
The Jomsvikings were the superheroes of the Icelandic Sagas, a legendary mercenary army. They offered their fighting skills and fought for any king who would hire and pay them what they required.
No one knows where they lived, and many historians question their existence, but archaeological discoveries reveal that the Icelandic Sagas about these fearsome warriors may be true.
According to intriguing stories told in the Icelandic Sagas, these courageous Norse warriors were based at Jomsborg, a fortress on the southern shore of the Baltic Sea.
