Hi Troels!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />



Would you give a reference to mentioning those

pirates and mercenaries in the Rhine-mouth?

I've encountered somewhere the Heruli

(together with the Borani) as pirates

at the Black Sea in the middle of 4th c.

Hi Dirk

Around 500 AD I agree that these people were allied against the
Franks - at least Theodoric tried to make them so.

At that time the Western Heruls had been mentioned for more than 200
years as pirates and mercenaries - normally together with the Bataves
(later Franks) in the Rhine-mouth.

But the Thuringians and the Alamans appear have a role in the later
play - also regarding Scandinavia.
