Notes

In other uses the Name Bor or Burs refers to a tribe located in the region of Dacia. The capital city of Dacia was Buridava. That Getae practiced ruler cult is confirmed by archaeological remains.

Pliny the Elder in his Naturalis Historia mentions a tribe called the Tyragetae (or Thyssagetæ), apparently a Daco-Thracian tribe who dwelt by the river Tyras (the Dniester). Their tribal name appears to be a combination of Tyras and Getae.

"This same people, when it lightens and thunders, aim their arrows at the sky, uttering threats against the god; and they do not believe that there is any god but their own." - Herodotus. Histories, 4.94.

It was the opinion of Dudo the historican (ca. 1015) that the Norman duke Rollo (Rollon), who founded the Norman dynasty in the 900s AD, was the son of a king in "Dacia" - This comment seems to be inconsistent with what we know about the historic Rollo and his established ancestry Unless one takes the statement into consideration of the overarching context of human migration and account for the missing generawtions in between Rollo the Norseman and Rollo the Dacian. Follow in an excerpt from Dudo:

"Spread over the plentiful space from the Danube to the neighborhood of the Scythian Black Sea, do there inhabit fierce and barbarous nations, which are said to have burst forth in manifold variety like a swarm of bees from a honeycomb or a sword from a sheath, as is the barbarian custom, from the island of Scania, surrounded in different directions by the ocean. For indeed there is there a tract for the very many people of Alania, and the extremely well-supplied region of Dacia, and the very extensive passage of Greece. Dacia is the middle-most of these. Protected by very high alps in the manner of a crown and after the fashion of a city. With Mars' forewarning, raging warlike peoples inhabit those tortuous bends of extensive size, namely the Getae, also known as Goths" - From chapter 2, second paragraph in Gesta Normannorum by the chronicler Dudo of St.Quentin's

According to Tacitus the Dacians and Suevii/Suebi both observed the custom of dressing their hair in a large topknot which required that the helmets and hats be molded or fitted to accommodate the topnot. One of the characteristics of the Norse God Odin was that he wore a large oversized hat, this is confirmed by archaelogical finds in the region of the Baltic and Scandia that illustrate the domed nature of the Viking war helmet. Following is an excerpt from Tacitus:

"I must now proceed to speak of the Suevians, who are not, like the Cattans and Tencterians, comprehended in a single people; but divided into several nations all bearing distinct names, though in general they are entitled Suevians, and occupy the larger share of Germany. This people are remarkable for a peculiar custom, that of twisting their hair and binding it up in a knot. It is thus the Suevians are distinguished from the other Germans, thus the free Suevians from their slaves.

With regard to marriage customs of the times half siblings frequently married.
