Battle of Hjörungavágr
The Battle of Hjörungavágr (Modern Norwegian HjørungavĂĄg) is a semi-legendary naval battle that took place in the late 10th century between the Jarls of Lade and a Danish invasion fleet led by the fabled Jomsvikings. The battle is described in the Norse kings' sagas—such as Heimskringla—as well as in JĂłmsvĂkinga saga and Saxo Grammaticus' Gesta Danorum.
