Goci (Scandinavia)

-

Götaland - the place of residence of the Goths Gentlemen - a North Germanic tribe inhabiting Götaland, in present-day Sweden.

The earliest records of Goths may have appeared in Claudius Ptolemy (2nd century), where the Goutai tribe appears. The Prokopius of Caesarea call them Gautoi, the Scandinavian Gautar saga, and the Beowulf and Widsidh - Gēatas poems. Beowulf and the Scandinavian sages enumerate several Gothic kings; Only the existence of Hugleik is confirmed by other sources that mention him on the occasion of the invasion of Frisia about 516 years ago.

Before the unification of Sweden, the Swedes were independent of the Swedes (proper). At the end of the 10th century, the country of Gotth is already known as part of the Kingdom of Sweden. The way of unification of the kingdom of Sweden remains controversial.

Due to the lack of early medieval sources and the fact that the Goths belong to the Swedish state, they are presumed to have been defeated and conquered by the Swions. However, the preserved tradition of the Wars of the Swions and Goths is semi-legendary. There are divergences in the literature as to the date of the incorporation of the Goths into the kingdom of Sweden: it was formerly referred to around 1000 years, and is now moving past the 9th century, and is believed to have occurred in the sixth century. On the one hand, certain sources (eg Rimsky's Life of Ansgara) from the 9th century are silent about Gotha in Sweden; on the other hand, the oldest medieval Swedish sources make a distinction between Swedes and Gotams.

The inhabitants lived in a region called Götaland. They were divided into several kingdoms or districts with their own things; Västergötland was the largest district. There was also a "thing of all Goths", held every year near Skary. In the 11th century Got Stenkil Ragnvaldsson became the king of Sweden. Between the Swedes and Gotami there were also conflicts on the religious background, for the former were more conducive to paganism, and the latter to Christianity. In the 80s of the eleventh century, the Christian king Inge I Elder, Stenkil's son, when he was defeated by the pagan Swena Blot, took refuge in Västergötland.
