Hkr., Heimskringla. J.J., Jacob Jakobsens works. S.S., Sturlunga Saga. This paper is an attempt to describe the mixed races which inhabited Orkney and Shetland from the foundation of the Norse earldom, in 872, until the end of the rule of the Gaelic earls, circa 1350, and it is a first instalment of the evidence on which a paragraph on person-names was founded, in the Introduction to Orkney and Shetland Records, vol. I. It has already been suggested that the Norse must have settled in Orkney and Shetland, circa 664, among the aboriginal race, the Picts, who would have become their thralls, and with whom the settlers would have intermarried. The first Norsemen who came to Orkney and Shetland would have been adventurers, and not settlers with wives, families and thralls, such as later went to Iceland and Orkney. Consequently such adventurers who settled in the islands would naturally have intermarried with the aborigines. This kind of male settlement may have gone on for some time, before the actual bona fide colonisation took place. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
