Harjumaa (ancient County)
Harjumaa (; ) (1200 hides), was a historical county in Ancient Estonia until the early 13th century. Its territory roughly corresponds to modern-day Rapla County with the town of Rapla as the capital. According to the ''Livonian Chronicle of Henry'', Raikila was the main village of Harjumaa, where annual gatherings of the surrounding tribes took place. Despite the name, the present-day Harju County covers only a small portion of the historical Harjumaa land, with most of its current territory corresponding to the ancient county of Revala. History Between the 10th and 12th centuries, one of the largest trading centers in Haarjumaa was the Varbola Stronghold (). The first crusade to Haarjumaa occurred in the summer of 1216, initiated by the crusaders of Riga. It involved Livonians, Latgalians, and the Livonian Brothers of the Sword, led by Master Volkwin. To secure a truce, Volkwin demanded that the inhabitants of Varbola accept Christianity and release their prisoners. Par ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Revala
Revala (also ''Rävälä'', , by Henry of Livonia ''Revele'', by Danish Census Book ''Revælæ'') was an Ancient Estonian county. It was located in northern Estonia, by the Gulf of Finland and corresponded roughly to the present territory of Harju County. It was conquered by the Danish in 1219 during the Estonian Crusade. It also contained the town of Lindanise, nowadays known as Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. The Icelandic '' Njal's saga''—composed after 1270, but describing events between the years 960 and 1020—mentions an event that occurred somewhere in the area of what is now Tallinn and calls the place ''Rafala''. The toponym, ''Rafala'', was probably a derivation of ''Rävala'', or ''Revala'', or some other variant of the locally used Estonian-language name for the adjacent medieval Estonian county.
