Norse settlement in the Faroe Islands : ウィキペディア英語版 | Norse settlement in the Faroe Islands
Norse settlement in the Faroe Islands can be traced back to sometime between the 9th and 10th centuries CE, with the first Viking to ever set foot on the Faroe Islands arguably around the late 8th century. The Vikings lay claim to the fact that they were the first to discover the Faroe Islands while accounts from Irish priests such as Diciul claim monks were there hundreds of years beforehand. ==Settlement== The history of the Vikings settlement of the Faroe Islands comes from Færeyinga saga, a manuscript that is now lost. Portions of the tale were inscribed in three other sagas, such as Flateyjarbók, Saga of Óláfr Tryggvason, and AM 62 fol. Similar to other sagas, the historical credibility of the Færeyinga saga is highly questioned. Both the Saga of Ólafr Tryggvason and Flateyjarbók claim a man named Grímur Kamban was the first man to discover the Faroe Islands. However, the two sources disagree on the year in which he left and the cause of his departure. Flateyjarbók details the emigration of Grímur Kamban as sometime during the reign of Harald Hårfagre, between 872-930 CE.〔Flateyjarbók〕 The Saga of Óláfr Tryggvason indicates that Kamban was residing in the Faroes long before the rule of Harald Hårfagre, and that other Norse were driven to the Faroe Islands due to his chaotic rule.〔The Saga of Óláfr Tryggvason〕 This mass migration to the Faroe Islands shows a prior knowledge of the location of Viking settlements, furthering the claim of Grímur Kamban's settlement much earlier. While Kamban is recognized as the first Viking settler of the Faroe Islands (even though his surname is of Gaelic origin), he actually re-settled the island. Writings from the Papar, an order of Irish monks, indicate their settling of the Faroes long before Vikings ever set foot there, only leaving due to ongoing Viking raids.〔Schei, Liv Kjørsvik & Moberg, Gunnie (2003) The Faroe Islands.
