You made me curious, SG so I went looking. Not only was there The Udal, it was in the British Isles! From a page on British archaeology:
quote:
The Udal
A Bone comb of the Viking age
How should we study a landscape? We need to begin with total familiarity with every available source. We then need to find the opportunity for a major excavation with maximum depth, and then strip it painstakingly layer by layer - Research with a Capital R - not mere rescue. An outstanding example of this has been Iain Crawford’s work in North Uist, and particularly at the Udal.
Iain Crawford read first history and then archaeology at Cambridge in the 1950s. When he was appointed to the School of Scottish Studies in Edinburgh, he resolved to study the Western Isles. He started by reading Celtic, assessing the documents and place-names, and using this background to carry out field survey for settlement survivals.
The recorded history of North Uist begins in 1469 when James II of Scotland gave a charter to the MacDonalds of Sleat granting them possession of North Uist, from which the Udal can be identified.
The Udal was abandoned following the sandblows of the 1690s, but when the sand was removed, the village abandoned in 1690’s that was revealed. A coin of Charles II, a turner or twopence issued in 1663-8 marks the end of the habitation.
The Udal was a more important village than most, for it was a tacksman’s township, the township where the tacksman lived. The tacksman was the squire of the social structure in the Western Isles in the Middle Ages: he was the person who collected the rents, typically controlling around 10 townships and himself paying an often nominal rent to the chief, the ultimate owner. |
Unsurprisingly, though, most of the hits I got while searching for this were to Civ pages -- though, apparently, "The Udal" is also the name of a pub in Thessaloniki!

Hi everybody!
Because I am from Sweden, I always play as the Swedes. I always play as the blue nation, because I don't want to fight against the Vikings. They are Swedes too... almost.
