- Battle_at_Herdaler abstract "The Battle at Herdaler was a battle between the Norse Viking leader Olav Haraldsson (later King of Norway) and Finnish people at Herdaler in Finland around years 1007/8. The Saga of Olaf Haraldson tells how Olav Haraldsson (Olaf II of Norway, also Saint Olaf), the King of Norway, plundered in Finland and was almost killed in the battle.After this they sailed to Finland and plundered there, and wentup the country. All the people fled to the forest, and they hademptied their houses of all household goods. The king went farup the country, and through some woods, and came to somedwellings in a valley called Herdaler, -- where, however, theymade but small booty, and saw no people; and as it was gettinglate in the day, the king turned back to his ships. Now whenthey came into the woods again people rushed upon them from allquarters, and made a severe attack. The king told his men tocover themselves with their shields, but before they got out ofthe woods he lost many people, and many were wounded; but atlast, late in the evening, he got to the ships. The Finlandersconjured up in the night, by their witchcraft, a dreadful stormand bad weather on the sea; but the king ordered the anchors tobe weighed and sail hoisted, and beat off all night to theoutside of the land. The king's luck prevailed more than theFinlanders' witchcraft; for he had the luck to beat round theBalagard's side in the night. and so got out to sea. But theFinnish army proceeded on land, making the same progress as theking made with his ships. So says Sigvat: --\"The third fight was at Herdaler, whereThe men of Finland met in warThe hero of the royal race,With ringing sword-blades face to face.Off Balagard's shore the wavesRan hollow; but the sea-king savesHis hard-pressed ship, and gains the leeOf the east coast through the wild sea.\"The location of \"Herdaler\" in Finland is not certain. The expedition's possible place could have been north of Uusimaa in Hirdal in the present-day town of Ingå. That makes it the first mentioning of a place located in present-day Finland in historical literature. It has been suggested that based on the similarity of names \"Herdaler\" and \"Balagard\" to names Härjedalen and Dalagård, the king's expedition would have actually taken place in Dal River area in Sweden. For one reason or another, Olaf's plundering in Sweden would have been relocated to Finland, although this is speculation.".
