History:
Vineta is the name of a mythical city at the southern coast of the Baltic Sea. The myth evolved around the tradition about the medieval emporium called Jumne, Jomsborg (with which Vineta is sometimes identified), Julin or similar names by the chronicles. There are several Vineta myths, all of them having in common an excessive, voluptuous or blasphemous way of life of the Vinetans who were then punished by a flood which took the city to the bottom of the Baltic.
About 965, Ibrahim ibn Jaqub wrote in Arabic letters about this city, the transcription might be Weltaba, which corresponds to modern Polish "Weltawa" meaning roughly a place among waves. In 1075, Adam of Bremen wrote about an emporium on an island in the Oder estuary, east of his Diocese, where Slavs, Barbarians and Greeks were supposed to live and Saxon merchants stayed for trade.
Harald Bluetooth had once found refuge there. The oldest preserved manuscript, from the 11th century, has the spelling vimne or uimne, and the second oldest manuscript, from around 1200, has uimne and iumne or jumne (there is no distinction between v and u or i and j in the written Latin of that time). More recent copies of the manuscript primarily use Jumne; in an early modern print the name is spelled Julinum and Juminem. Between 1140 and 1159, three vitae of Otto of Bamberg were written using the name Julin for the medieval place located at the site of the later town of Wolin. In 1163, Helmold of Bosau copied almost word for word the respective sentences written by Adam of Bremen. The oldest preserved handwriting of Helmolds chronicle (ca. 1300) has the place spelled uineta, corrected by the copist to iumenta. Younger copies use Jumneta in the text, yet in the header of the respective chapter all copies use Vinneta. About 1170, the Nordic Knytlinga saga reported a siege of Jomsborg by the Dano-Norwegian king Magnus (1043) and a campaign against that place by the Danish king Valdemar I (1170). About 1190, Saxo Grammaticus reported the same campaign (1170) and Harald Bluetooth’s earlier stay there, but called the place Julin.Compatible with Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm.Mod Support:Ynaemp (Giant, Greatest, LargestEarthCustom, LargeEurope, PlayEuropeAgain and Cordiform)
