Sweordora
People of medieval England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sweordora were an Anglian[a] tribe who, according to the Tribal Hidage,[b] lived in the vicinity of Sword Point, Whittlesey Mere, Cambridgeshire (formerly Huntingdonshire), probably in the 6th Century.[1][c] Their endonym is a clear cognate of the Suiones[2] (also known as Swēon)[3] the Swedes.
Notes
- Also known as Ingaevonic.
- Their territory was assessed for 300 hides.
- Probably in response to the volcanic winter of 536 AD.
