This was the land of the Vikings after all

[JoYnSE33O44]

It was once part of a fortress belt of several castles along the Vienna Woods, used to defend against attacks. There's a little dungeon and everything. The castle was originally named after the light color of the rock. It means light stone, derived from the German words meaning light and meaning stone. In any case, over the next few centuries, the noble families acquired large tracts of land, including parts of modern Liechtenstein. But all the territory was occupied by feudal lords. Fast forward to the year when the prince was finally able to purchase two small fiefdoms without feudal lords, the counties of Schellenberg and Vaduz.

The Holy Roman Emperor unified the two small kingdoms and named the new Phone Number List place Liechtenstein. Legend has it that Liechtenstein Castle came to life on bright full moon nights so it means bright stone which makes perfect sense. Not every name in Norway is charming but when your country is Norway you have hundreds of epic stories to tell. Norway was called in Old Norse which means the Northern Way. As far as anyone knew it was the main passage for the Vikings. But let me not get in the way of the legend. According to Norse mythology the god Norse was the founder of Norway. We know him as Thor.



He discovered the area while on a mission to find his mysteriously missing sister. When he found her she had been kidnapped by a giant's son so he married the giant's sister and settled in the new land and called it the Kingdom of Nore France. From one perspective of the story France was named after a spear. But I'll tell you more and you can decide about the 10th century AD when a confederation of Germanic tribes called the Franks invaded the area causing the fall of the Roman Empire.
