<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 7657660, member: 84905&quot;]Interesting, the modern Polish town of Biskupiec is the formerly German town of Bischofsburg near Allenstein in what was German East Prussia (Ostpreussen). My family is from that region and, according to DNA research lived there since around AD 150 until AD 1945 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. </p><p>Biskupiec/Bischofsburg is a bit of a distance to the coast and the ancient trading town of Truso. Also in the 9th/10th century this region was not inhabited by Slavic tribes, as the article claims, but by the Baltic Prusians, or more precisely the Galindian subtribe.</p><p><br /></p><p>So for the time being I would not put too much confidence on a Viking connection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
