His combination of great vision and charisma brought together men and women from around the world and inspired them to build a brotherhood that will endure. He is our eternal lord and it is in his name that we fight, drink and train. It is his spirit for exploration and adventure that drives us to ever greater horizons! 
El 9 de Octubre fue el día elegido para conmemorar al primer europeo en llegar al continente americano, Leif Eriksson. La elección de tal fecha no está relacionada directamente con el explorador vikingo, que llegó a lo que él llamó Vinland en el verano del año 1000. Esta es la fecha en que llegó a Nueva York el barco Restauration, en 1825, procedente de Stavanger, Noruega; con él se inició la llegada de emigrantes escandinavos a América. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 9, 2008, as Leif Erikson Day. I call upon all Americans to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs to honor our rich Nordic-American heritage.
All designs displayed on this web site have copyrights belonging to RCM CAD Design Drafting LTD. This Viking Holms, 4920 square foot of living space on four floors not including a fully finished basement, is like a castle from Norway. The architectural style is Scandinavian. This is an unusual design for a log post and beam structure as this house is over 50 feet high. The building site is in Montana and almost at the top of a small mountain. From the observation tower on fourth floor you can see all around the valleys and mountain ranges in the background. The walk out basement has two more bedroom suites, a theater, a sauna, exercise room, laundry room and mechanical room. This unique home has a strong masculine character to the outside with the cross logs at gable roofs and the sea serpent metal profiles from Viking Mythology at the end of gable roofs.

840 - A fortress was made by the foreigners at Linn Duachaill, out of which the territories
and churches of Teftia were preyed. Another fortress was made
by them at Dublin, out of which they plundered Leinster and the
Ui Neill (South) as far as Slieve Bloom.
841— The killing and
burning of the Abbot of Linn Duachaill.^ A fleet of Norsemen
on the Boyne at Rosnarce, another on Lough S willy, and a
third at Magheralin. Olonmacnoise, Castledermot, Birr and
Seirkieran were plundered.
842 — Clonfert was burned.
843 — Cluana-an-dobhair, near Killeigh, in the King's County, and
Dunmask were plundered. Nuadhat and the Abbot of Tir-da-
Glas were martyred, and Forannan, the Primate of Armagh, was
captured, with his relics and Muintir, and taken to Limerick
to their ships. Here comes the first mention of Turgesius in
the Annals (843 F.M., recte 845). An expedition by Turgeis,
lord of the foreigners, upon Lough Ribh, so that they plun-
dered Connact and Meath, and burned Cluain-mic-Nois, with
its oratories, Cluain Fearta Brennain, and Tir-da-Glas, Lothra
and many others in like manner. A battle was gained over
the foreigners by King Niall, the Bon of ^dh, in Magh Itha,
and a countless number fell. Turgeis was taken prisoner by
Maelseachlainn " and his drowning afterwards in L. Uair
(L. Owel), through the miracles of God, and Kiaran, and the
saints in general."
* St. Kiaran's special anger is accounted
for by the fact that Ota, the wife of Turgesius, took her seat,
we are told, on the high altar in the church at Olonmacnoise,
and gave audience and answer from it.

Isle of Man
Viking Ship
Noble - 1995
Bimetalic Gold & Platinum
Case/COA
This beautiful coin was a one-year issue and depicts the image of a Viking Longship in platinum surrounded by a gold ring. First used as a coin design over 650 years ago, it is the world’s oldest denomination still being used today. First introduced in the Middle Ages in England during the reign of King Edward II, it soon became one of the most popular coins in Europe. The Isle of Man – a dependency of the British Crown – reintroduced the Noble denomination in 1983. The Viking ship is a reminder of the Isle of Man’s status as an island conquered by the Vikings 1,200 years ago. In addition to its stunning design, this was the first coin ever produced as a bimetallic gold and platinum coin. It was struck from one-eighth ounce of platinum surrounded by a one-eighth ounce gold outer ring. This beautiful coin comes in a Mint issued display case with a Certificate of Authenticity and along with the bimetallic gold and platinum Angel issued simultaneously. |
