The trelleborg constructors
(2015) p.267-272- Abstract
This text builds on a manuscript written for a lecture at the Trelleborg Museum in Scania. At the museum one can read that Harald Bluetooth built the ring fortress, just like all the other Trelleborg forts, but is this so? This article looks at the datings, finds and surroundings of the East Danish trelleborg forts and presents another interpretation. A strong aristocracy with an interest in trade may have been the constructors and the slave trade may have given some of the forts their names.
