| Description |
An approximation of the central regions of the tribes mentioned in Beowulf. The red area is Västergötland (the core region of Geatland), the yellow area is the territory ruled by the Wulfings (though some historians have assigned them to Pomerania or England), the pink area is Scylding Danish territory, and blue is the Jutish kingdom(s). The green area is the land of the Swedes, while the orange area belongs to Frisians. For a more detailed discussion on the fragmented political situation of Scandinavia during the 6th century, see Scandza |
