The Herelingas or Harlings have also been noticed; they are connected with the same great cycle, and are mentioned in the Traveller’s Song, l. 224. As Harlingen in Friesland retains a record of the same name, it is possible that it may have wandered to the coast of Norfolk with the Batavian auxiliaries, _numerus Batavorum_, who served under their own chiefs in Britain. The Swǽfas, a border tribe of the Angles[105], reappear at Swaffham. The Brentings[106] are found again in Brentingby. The Scyldings and Scylfings[107], perhaps the most celebrated of the Northern races, give their names to Skelding and Shilvington. The Ardings, whose memorial is retained in Ardingley, Ardington and Ardingworth, are the Azdingi[108], the royal race of the Visigoths and Vandals: a name which confirms the tradition of a settlement of Vandals in England. With these we probably should not confound the Heardingas, who have left their name to Hardingham in Norfolk[109]. The Banings, over whom Becca ruled[110], are recognized in Banningham; the Hælsings[111] in Helsington, and in the Swedish Helsingland[112]: the Myrgings[113], perhaps in Merring, and Merrington: the Hundings[114], perhaps in Hunningham and Hunnington: the Hócings[115], in Hucking: the Seringas[116] meet us again in Sharington, Sherington and Sheringham. The Ðyringas[117], in Thorington and Thorrington, are likely to be offshoots of the great Hermunduric race, the Thyringi or Thoringi, now Thuringians, always neighbours of the Saxons. The Bleccingas, a race who probably gave name to Bleckingen in Sweden, are found in Bletchington, and Bletchingley. In the Gytingas, known to us from Guiting, we can yet trace the Alamannic tribe of the Juthungi, or Jutungi. Perhaps in the Scytingas or Scydingas, we may find another Alamannic tribe, the Scudingi[118], and in the Dylingas, an Alpine or Highdutch name, the Tulingi[119]. The Wæringas are probably the Norman Vǽringjar, whom we call Varangians. The Wylfingas[120], another celebrated race, well known in Norse tradition, are recorded in Beówulf[121] and the Traveller’s Song[122]. ----- Footnote 105: Trav. S. l. 121.

Footnote 109: The Rune poem says that Ing was first known among the Eastdanes, and that he was so named by the Heardings. This may refer to Norfolk: or must we read heardingas, _bellatores_?
