Velyaminov, G. M. Scandinavian Story of Origin of Shimon’s Variat)

Abstract: Historical sources as well as new home and foreign science invistigations allow to assert that “varangian prince” Jakun of Russian chronicle of 1024 is identical with Norvegian Håkon Jarl Eiriksson. And he is really the brother of African - the father of “varangian prince” Šimon who emigrated in 1027 from Scandinavia to Rus’. These conclusions are unique in view of harmonizing of ancient Russian and Scandinavian historical sources.


Keywords:

Varangians/vikings in Rus’. Jakun the Blind. Håkon Jarl Eiriksson. Šimon Afrikanovich.
