Expack: Question: Viking city list

Leif Eriksson is known as Leiv Eiriksson in Norway, and his "Viking" (Old Norse) name is Leifr EirÃksson.

Erik Bloodaxe was Norwegian (Eirik Blodøks).
Harald Hardrada = Harald Hardråde.

It might be easier to just keep the English names, IMO.

Do you know the old norse names for the cities too?

Interesting, I had never heard any other name than 'HÃ¥rfager' before, was he Norwegian? (or well, "Norwegian", 'west scandinavian would be a better word I guess )

I guess the english names are best.. but what about the city names? English, original, or how they are spelled in their countries today?

edit: spelling

After a poll Master Wernazuma decided to use native spelling for cities, not the english spelling.
HÃ¥rfager is the name used in Danish too btw.

Yes, he was Norway's first king. He got his name (which means something like "nice hair") because he promised not to cut his hair or beard until he had united the entire country. It took a while.
