Kringlublaðið

John Bjarne Grover

My understanding of the history:

Henry VIII had married but wanted to marry another woman and the pope would not allow for that and therefore Henry broke with the Vatican and made his own state church instead - the anglican protestant church. Henry was also excommunicated by the pope. Since this came to be a very unfortunate basis for a church - the wish for 'extramarital sex', so to speak - the britons found that they had to dump the problem somewhere and therefore Norway was made in 1814 - as a dumpingplace for the religious creed problems of England. (I dont know who organized that, though, nor do I know what the 'real reasons' could have been). Norway was made to look like Henry's marital penis on the map, and at the narrowest up in the north there are only 5 km from the Atlantic ocean in to Sweden, who then would get wet if there were storming emotions on the sea, and Norway went in 1814 right into a union with Sweden which lasted untill 1905 when they got their first king. These 5 km could be the same 5 km as in Gaza (from the ocean in to Israel) - and would there be any links to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization?

In order to make that state in 1814, somebody had found the document called 'Heimskringla' which claims to tell the sagas of the old norwegian kings through the middle ages, and this document was the proof that the state had once existed and deserved to be re-established again. The document lacks the first page - it had been torn off, it seems - and the first two words on page 2 are 'kringla heimsins' = 'the orb of the earth' which thereby came to be the reason for the name of the document. A more 'down to earth' interpretation is this idea of a long sausage of excrement that falls to the floor and curls up in the form of the pastry called 'kringle'.

The document is normally believed to have been written by Snorri Sturluson on Iceland around 1225. The document is a later handwriting which could have been fraud, but there exists a copy from 1260 - however, for this the entire document is lost except for one page which is called 'Kringlublaðið'. Clearly can be seen to fill in what was lost from the other handwriting, and it counts as a proof that the age of the other is not fraud. However, if the ancient sagas are a later fabrication only, they could have made this single leaf from a sheet of paper which they knew the age of - say, if a british lord had bought a castle in 1260 and acquired paper for the household they could have known the age of that sheet they used for making it.

However that be, this single sheet is from Olav the Holy saga and can perhaps be seen to contain the parametres for the entire story with the dumpingplace - a closer study of it can probably reveal how England can dump their problems on Norway without the latter being able to defend themselves against it - and therefore it seems that Norway has constructed me for finding somebody to dump those problems further onto instead of battling the 'curse' by relevant methods.

I have tried to find out from 'Kringlublaðið' where in the Olav Haraldson (the Holy) saga this excerpt is - and I have landed on the following excerpt:


At last the earl proposed to him a game at chess, which he agreed to; and a chess-board was produced, and they played together. Earl Ulf was hasty in temper, stiff, and in nothing yielding; but everything he managed went on well in his hands; and he was a great warrior, about whom there are many stories. He was the most powerful man in Denmark next to the king. Earl Ulf's sister Gyda was married to Earl Gudin (Godwin) Ulfnadson; and their sons were Harald king of England, and Earl Toste, Earl Valthiof, Earl Morukare, and Earl Svein. Gyda was the name of their daughter, who was married to the English king Edward the Good.

163. OF THE EARL'S MURDER.

When they had played a while the king made a false move, at which the earl took a knight from the king; but the king set the piece again upon the board, and told the earl to make another move; but the earl grew angry, threw over the chess-board, stood up, and went away. The king said, "Runnest thou away, Ulf the coward?" The earl turned round at the door and said, "Thou wouldst have run farther at Helga river, if thou hadst come to battle there. Thou didst not call me Ulf the coward, when I hastened to thy help while the Swedes were beating thee like a dog." The earl then went out, and went to bed. A little later the king also went to bed. The following morning while the king was putting on his clothes he said to his footboy, "Go thou to Earl Ulf, and kill him."

The lad went, was away a while, and then came back.

The king said, "Hast thou killed the earl?"

"I did not kill him, for he was gone to Saint Lucius' church."

There was a man called Ivar White, a Norwegian by birth, who was the king's courtman and chamberlain. The king said to him, "Go thou and kill the earl."

Ivar went to the church, and in at the choir, and thrust his sword through the earl, who died on the spot. Then Ivar went to the king, with the bloody sword in his hand.

The king said, "Hast thou killed the earl?"

"I have killed him," says he.

"Thou didst well."

After the earl was killed the monks closed the church, and locked the doors. When that was told the king he sent a message to the monks, ordering them to open the church and sing high mass. They did as the king ordered; and when the king came to the church he bestowed on it great property, so that it had a large domain, by which that place was raised very high; and these lands have since always belonged to it. King Canute rode down to his ships, and lay there till late in harvest with a very large army.

164. OF KING OLAF AND THE SWEDES.

When King Olaf and King Onund heard that King Canute had sailed to the Sound, and lay there with a great force, the kings held a House-thing, and spoke much about what resolution they should adopt. King Olaf wished they should remain there with all the fleet, and see what King Canute would at last resolve to do. But the Swedes held it to be unadvisable to remain until the frost set in, and so it was determined; and King Onund went home with all his army, and King Olaf remained lying after them.

165. OF EGIL AND TOFE.

While King Olaf lay there, he had frequently conferences and consultations with his people. One night Egil Halson and Tofe Valgautson had the watch upon the king's ship. Tofe came from West Gautland, and was a man of high birth. While they sat on watch they heard much lamentation and crying among the people who had been taken in the war, and who lay bound on the shore at night. Tofe said it made him ill to hear such distress, and asked Egil to go with him, and let loose these people. This work they set about, cut the cords, and let the people escape, and they looked upon it as a piece of great friendship; but the king was so enraged at it, that they themselves were in the greatest danger. When Egil afterwards fell sick the king for a long time would not visit him, until many people entreated it of him. It vexed Egil much to have done anything the king was angry at, and he begged his forgiveness. The king now dismissed his wrath against Egil, laid his hands upon the side on which Egil's pain was, and sang a prayer; upon which the pain ceased instantly, and Egil grew better. Tofe came, after entreaty, into reconciliation with the king, on condition that he should exhort his father Valgaut to come to the king. He was a heathen; but after conversation with the king he went over to Christianity, and died instantly when he was baptized.

166. TREACHERY TOWARDS KING OLAF.

King Olaf had now frequent conferences with his people, and asked advice from them, and from his chiefs, as to what he should determine upon. But there was no unanimity among them -- some considering that unadvisable which others considered highly serviceable; and there was much indecision in their councils. King Canute had always spies in King Olaf's army, who entered into conversation with many of his men, offering them presents and favour on account of King Canute. Many allowed themselves to be seduced, and gave promises of fidelity, and to be King Canute's men, and bring the country into his hands if he came to Norway. This was apparent,


If one analyzes it too far it may only take you wrong way - one can perhaps risk getting some lumbago - 'king Canute rode down to his [s]hips' etc. (Would that have been a reason for the name of 'Ribben-trop/drop'?) I have guessed that one can analyze 8 parametres - a game of chess - which in principle also can have been used for constructing 'Heimskringla' if it be a piece of fraud. These 8 parametres could e.g. be contained in the 8 names in the first part:

Gyda
Earl Gudin (Godwin) Ulfnadson
Harald king of England
Earl Toste
Earl Valthiof
Earl Morukare
Earl Svein
Gyda daughter, married to the English king Edward the Good

The essential story seems to be the fate of Satan who once was in the choir of seraphim singing 'holy holy holy' (Davidson's 'A dictionary of angels') before he tried to revolt and was thrown down into Hell. This could be contained in the 'NAD' of Earl Gudin Ulfnadson. 'NAD' in norwegian 'nåde' means 'divine grace', as in that choir of seraphim, while in hebrew it means 'move, be unsteady, escape, leather bottle, skin'. The word for that choir is in norwegian 'kor' which in hebrew כור means 'smelting pot, furnace' - hence the throw-down of Satan can be seen to be from a norwegian choir down into the hebrew. ('Tenzing Norgay' was the sherpa who was the first to reach the peak of Mount Everest along with Edmund Hillary). Earl Ulf had suggested the game of chess but took a knight from the king who put it back up on the board and asked for another move, please. The story is that the royal authority cannot be taken - if one tries it only leads to a throwdown like Satan - hence the king's authority is indisputable, as could be the idea. After the game was ended Ulf went to bed, and the story from the following day (when Ulf is thrown down to curl up dead on the floor) can, as one conjectures, be the story of 'how he took a night from the king'. But that is modern english - and would 'knight' in chess be the same as 'night' between two days in medieval icelandic? The alarm could go off there - is it a piece of english fraud only? In modern icelandic the 'knight' = 'riddari' while the 'night' = 'nótt'. This ambiguity could follow up the ambiguity of 'choir' in the sense of the sound of the monks ('acoustic') vs the choir as the room in the church ('space'). And so forth.

The icelandic tells apparently not the name of 'king Canute' - it seems to tell only 'k.k.' - a sort of 'caca'. I cannot decipher the icelandic handwriting.

The last word in the single leaf looks like 'Urdo': In the 1960-70's a lot of pakistani people were imported to Norway - pakistanis easily got work and residence permit there - could be this last word were the reason for that - that Norway hoped to wriggle out of the british 'curse' by such a trick? T.S.Eliot could perhaps have thrown a glance at this 'Kringlublaðið' - with 'at last' as the apparently first words ('In my beginning is my end')? The word כור for the hebrew version of the norwegian 'kor' has a similar form in בור = 'waste (land)' - cp. T.S.Eliot's poem 'The waste land' where there also is 'a game of chess'. בור can also (Jastrow) mean 'receptacle for oil/wine in the press' as well as בורא = Creator, probably the one around whom the choir of seraphim sang (and probably still sing). The letter ב resembles the letter נ - I notice that the head office of my bank 'Nordea' went to Helsinki some years ago. Could be these things are standard in business etc? I have also guessed that בור could be the last morph in the 'Sob-i-bor' death camp of Himmler - and one quickly leaps to the idea that if Hitler were an agent for England, he had suggested a game of chess for the british king etc - and after the war the political effect of 'Kringlublaðið' could have been massively reinforced. Could be all the nazi death camps could be traced to aspects of this 'Kringlublaðið'? I dont know if Eliot used this document but clearly he could have known about it - and some would also argue that if the single medieval sheet were not stuffed with metaphysical puzzles in 1260, history could have piled such up onto it later. The metaphysical mysteries can be real enough without political mythology attached - and in particular the hebrew language and script could be transparent for such things. I notice my own experience in Szolnok with the high drill or 'bore' that went up and down for 3-4 days along with the loud sobs from a neighbouring hotel room: This was in a region which I later have come to associate with the 'fruit press' called 'Kelter' in Jacob Böhme's mysticism - here quoted again from his 'Aurora' = 'Morgenröte' - from the text in chapter XXVI sections #120-121:

120. Wenn aber diese Morgenröte wird vom Aufgang zum Niedergang scheinen, so ist vorbass mehr keine Zeit, sondern die Sonne des Herzens Gottes gehet auf und wird RA.RA.RP. in der Kelter außer der Stadt gestoßen und mit ihm AM.R.P.

121. Dies sind verborgene Worte und werden allein in der Sprache der Natur verstanden.

Hence it need not be 'Kringlublaðið' which is the reason for the mysteries by way of 'receptacle for oil/wine in the press' being encoded בור resembling כור - it is also possible that the political effect of these concepts derives from these ideas having their own independent mystic-poetic value.

נור = 'fire'. קול = 'thunder'. But even if this tells of the poems in 'The waste land', that does not have to mean that Eliot used 'Kringlublaðið' for lending shape to it. Otherwise it is of course possible to give such historic form to e.g. poetic works for lending to them a monarchic twist. But if somebody should so do, then it is of course expected that the source must be credited. In 'The waste land' Eliot credits a lot of sources but not this.


Conclusion is that Kringlublaðið, whether authentic from 1260 or not, can be seen as the basis for a british monarchic control with Norway by way of their accept of Heimskringla as their national history: Accepting this is to accept the role of dumping-place for the religious problems by the historic foundations of the anglican church - which means that instead of the entire anglican church being thrown down into Hell in the ultimate Judgement because of their historic origins - the state of Norway can be thrown down there instead - qua carrier of this unfortunate origins. The state was declared as antisemitic from 1814 to 1852 - could be in order to be on the right side of the NAD and KUR and things like that. However, since Norway does not like these prospects, they seem to have created my person as a further dumping-place - blaming me for the octogon by marital infidelity (a la Henry's reason for the church) and denouncing the value of my work and contributions and pasting onto me dubious qualities. Clearly Norway should not do that - they should stand up against the 'curse' from England. The most efficient way to do that is probably to prove a non-authentic status of Heimskringla and that should solve the problem. I have contributed somewhat to that with this tentative dating of the text of Heimskringla - not the paper or ink but the text itself. But it is not so systematic and purely tentative.



Later in the same day: As to the riddle of Eliot's 'The waste land', see this little article which seems to solve the problem.



21 october 2025: On 19 october 2025, the day before I published the above, thieves stole the crown jewels in Louvre, Paris. They left with 8 items, tell the news. (I did make a reference to this excerpt from Heimskringla on 13 october 2025).
