context_page_description: Jomsborg or Jómsborg was a semi-legendary Viking stronghold at the southern coast of the Baltic Sea, that existed between the 960s and 1043. Its inhabitants were known as Jomsvikings. Jomsborg's exact location, or its existence, has not yet been established, though it is often maintained that Jomsborg was somewhere on the islands of the Oder estuary. Lauritz Weibull dismissed it as a legend.
  The only medieval source that mentions a precise location of Jomsborg is Gesta Wulinensis ecclesiae pontificum that was discovered in the autumn of 2019.
