In January there was a long discussion about Heruls. My purpose is 
not to bring up that kind of discussion again, but I promised to 
explain my unproven theory later on. 

The article is too long to be put on this list, but interested 
listmembers can find it as a homepage:

            http://www.geocities.com/troels_brandt/heruls.html

To avoid a repetition of the earlier discussions, listmembers are 
welcome to mail directly to me.

My article brings up some similarities between ON / OE names and 
names of Herulian, Gothic and Lombardian kings. I have not used them 
as arguements, as I have no expertice in that field. If someone 
reading the homepage is able to help me, I will be grateful.

Bertil and I have earlier mentioned Ingemar Nordgren, who wrote a PhD-
assertation about the origin of the Goths in 1999. For the benefit of 
the Scandinavian listmembers I can tell that a book containing most 
of his assertation is now going to be published in Swedish by the 
publisher: Historieforum Västra Götaland, Göteborg. The
title 
is "Goterkällan. Om goterna i Norden och på kontinenten".
