DANE – dān/ noun – Defined as one of the Viking invaders of the British Isles in the 9th–11th centuries. LANDIA – lândia – Germanic Suffix of various regions to form a place, lands and cities.  The principality realm of Danelandia is part of a  Fiefdom that is one of the oldest Noble Fiefs in the world.

– Danelandia is A Fief or A Fiefdom –  Fiefdom [feef-duh m] a domain of a feudal lord.  A Fief is a feudal area of land for which residents once paid fees or rendered services to the OverLord in return for the right to use the land in commerce. A fief can be a country or dukedom, or a fief can be a small land area of territory established by a country in the past.  The Free Fief Danelandia is in the Channel Islands and is not part of the UK or France.  The Fief sits on the Eastern part of the island and includes areas in the North, Central and South East Sections of the Island including: beach, woods, buildings,  and other commercial buildings and farm land. The Fief also may include small islands and  international waters offshore of the fiefs beach and foreshore.  The Fief is inhabited and the fief owns property in several countries around the world.

Danelandia is a Constitutional Monarchy led by the High Lord Baron or Baroness. Much like Lictchenstein or Luxembourg, the Fief de Danelandia is ancient, feudal and controls real legal and customary rights in lands, waters, beaches and ceremonies.  The Fief offers citizens of good stature to acquire crypto curency, honnorific noble titles and also an opportunity to be a part owner of the Fief Danelandia and to help protect sacred sites or burial areas of Celts, Anglo-Saxons and Vikings.

History: 911AD – The Viking Islands were conquered by the Vikings before  911AD.  As a concession to the invaders, Fiefs of the Channel Islands begin with the Grants by King Charles in Year 911AD to the Great Viking Chief Rollo Göngu-Hrólfr  or Gaange Rolf who had already possessed the Islands as Viking conquests.  Chief Rollo was a Viking Warrior who became the first ruler of Normandy, a region of France. He is sometimes called the 1st Duke of Normandy and speculations point to Denmark as Rollo’s birth place.   1020AD – The Fiefdom  came about through the medieval fragmentation of Islands lands into Free Lords of Fiefs or Barronies. Over hundreds of years these islands have maintained their customary law, feudal law and independence. To this day, these islands are not part of any European Country but are independent. Thus, the Free Noble Fiefs upon these islands are stand alone territory not subject to any sovereign or country but rather 1st among equals “Primus inter pares” and “jus gentium” along with the “terra nullius” claims to the foreshore, beaches, waters, seastead rights, and offshore  islands within the Fief’s shore spectrum.

Geography: The Nordic Channel Islands are an archipelago in the English Channel off the Normandy coast of France. They are divided into various dependencies of islands owned or occupied over the years by France, Germany, England and the Scandinavian Vikings.

Constitution:  Constitutional Monarchy much like Luxembourg or Lichtenstein.

Maps:  The Maps of the Fief Territory are unique and illustrate the boundaries of the areas of historic control and overlordship of properties, lands, farm areas, forest land, beaches, foreshore and international waters.

Religious Neutrality:  As part of the peace between England and France, Pope Sixtus IV issued in 1483 a Papal bull granting the Privilege of Neutrality, by which the Islands, their harbours and seas, as far as the eye can see, were considered neutral territory.  Anyone molesting Islanders would be excommunicated. A Royal Charter in 1548 confirmed the neutrality.
