ilitary as well as ecclesiastical sense. In p. 333. he says:
"Waldemar the 1st, goes with a fleet through the month of the river
Zwina, then to the river which adjoins Julin and Camin, and has its
mouth divided into two. There was a long bridge joining the walls of
Julin. The king having landed 'ex adverso urbis in ripa Australi,
pontem disjici jussit.' The king cleared the way for his fleet; got to
an island Chrisztoa; crossed the river and went to Camin. He went out
to sea by that mouth."
This is given very much at length.
All this is the geography of the present day, and the names, if you read
Wollin for Julin. The Oder expands into a wide lake, shut off from the sea
by a bar of land, through which there are three channels. The Zwein is the
middle one of the three; that which passes by Wollin and Kimmin is the
eastern one.
In p. 347. he says:
"Rex ... classem ... Zuinsibus ostiis inserit, Julinique vacuas
defensoribus aedes, incendio adortus, rehabitatae urbis novitatem,
iterata penatium strage, consumpsit.... Juilinenses, cum urbis uae
recenses ruinas, ferendae obsidioni, inhabiles cernerent, perinde ac
viribus orbati, deserta patria, praesidium Caminense petiverunt, aliena
amplexi moenia, qui propria tueri diffiderent."
In p. 359. he says: The king "per Suinam invectus, Julinum oppidum,
incolarum fuga desertam, incendio tentat."
Saxo mentions Julin, p. 182-24.: "Nobilissimum illius provinciae oppidum,"
under Harold Blatand, King of Denmark, who reigned in the latter half of
the ninth century. He put a body of troops into it, who became dreadful
pirates.
In p. 225. he says that the Danes compelled them to give up their pirates,
who were punished. In p. 381., in the reign of Canute, son of Waldemar,
there is an expedition against the Julinenses, the result of which is
expressed "Julinensium rebus absumptis."
In p. 382., the king sets out for Julin, but seems to have attacked only
Camin. Waldemar died in 1182, Canute, 1202 (Koch.)
Arnold (b. iii. c. 8. s. 4.) speaks of the Sclavi as finally subdued and
made tributary, about 1185.
In the notes to Saxo (p. 197.) there is a long extract about Wollinum, from
Chytraeus, a writer who lived 1530-1600, taken from the information of a
learned old man whose uncle was born there. He says he went there to see,
accompanied by many of the principal inhabitants, the remains of Julin,
destroyed in 1170 by Wal
