No, non la conosco. Mi sembra però interessante la figura di Hakon Ladejarl: a quanto leggo si oppose alla cristianizzazione imposta da Olaf Tryggvasson.
Insomma si ripete una situazione analoga a Radbod, o Widukind, e Carlo "Magno".

Mi viene ora un'idea: si potrebbe fare un thread di controstoria, ricordando i Resistenti Gentili nazione per nazione.
Se si leggono i manuali di storia che usano le scuole pubbliche, praticamente non si parla del fatto che ci fu chi si oppose.

Ma come mai ti interessa questa saga in particolare ?

Per la particolarità di questo gruppo che sembra essere una vera e propria associazione di uomini consacrati alla guerra; credo che per l'altomedioevo non esista null'altro di simile in Europa.
Inoltre mi ricordano vagamente i mamertini italici(e di esempi simili tra le società indoeuroee probabilmente ce ne saranno molti altri).

The Saga of the Jomsvikings relates that the Jomsvikings were highly selective in deciding whom to admit to their order. Membership was restricted to men of proven valor between 18 and 50 (with the exception of a boy named Vagn Åkesson, who defeated Sigvaldi Strut-Haraldsson in single combat at the age of 12). In order to gain admission, prospective members were required to prove themselves with a feat of strength, often taking the form of a ritual duel, or holmgang, with a Jomsviking.
Once admitted, the Jomsvikings required adherence to a strict code of conduct in order to instill a sense of military discipline among its members. Any violation of these rules could be punished with immediate expulsion from the order. Each Jomsviking was bound to defend his brothers, as well as to avenge their deaths if necessary. He was forbidden to speak ill of his fellows or to quarrel with them. Blood feuds between members were to be mediated by Jomsviking officers. Jomsvikings were forbidden to show fear or to flee in the face of an enemy of equal or inferior strength, though orderly retreat in the face of vastly outnumbering forces appears to have been acceptable. All spoils of battle were to be equally distributed among the entire brotherhood. No Jomsviking was permitted to be absent from Jomsborg for more than three days without the permission of the brotherhood. No women or children were allowed within the fortress walls, and none were to be taken captive. It is unclear, however, whether members were forbidden marriage or liaisons with women outside the walls. Preso da wikipedia inglese.
