Jomsvikings

The Jomsvikings were a legendary group of Norse warriors and mercenaries who lived during the Viking Age, primarily in the late 10th and early 11th centuries. Based in a fortified settlement called Jomsborg (likely located on the southern Baltic Sea), they were known for their bravery, strict code of conduct, and commitment to loyalty and honor. The Jomsvikings participated in various raids and battles, often hiring themselves out to the highest bidder. Their stories are recorded in sagas, blending history and myth, and they symbolize the ideal of the warrior culture prevalent among the Norse during this period.
