In 7500 according to the Greeks'
calculation, and 2002 according
to the Romans, Erik Rank went into
Warega. Having taken with him
the Slaves, Wojciech and Niemir, he
crossed along the long see by the ship,
to take part in the Wareg Morph's
wedding ceremony in Foteviken.
There he met Jomsviking earl, Ulf-
Erik. So, Erik said to the earl: "Give
me Jomsborg's right, and a case
of the brave men for the shared
expeditions". The earl responded:
"How many of them can you gang
together? Would it be enough to
detach a field with the peaks? Are
they so brave not to take a step
back although even three of them
against a dozen are left?".
Then, over the years the Team
expanded, and its ranks were
joined by the subsequent warriors.
Finally, it led to developing a large
and strong team which today
is the Nordelag. We are a group
which reenacts a colorful life of
the people who lived in the area
of the seashores of the Baltic Sea
within a period between the 10th
and 11th century. A majority of
people who belong to the Nordelag
lives in Gdańsk or Gdynia and its
neighborhood although a part
of our members resides currently
in northern Poland, Stockholm,
Northampton and Copenhagen.
