Weonodland, or Winodland, extends to the mouth of the Vistula; and is obviously a peculiar and independent country, totally different from Weonothland, belonging to Denmark. Forst. Wisle, or Wisla, is the Sclavonian orthography for the Vistula, called Weichsel by the Germans, and Weissel by the Prussians. Forst. Witland is a district of Samland in Prussia.
It is necessary to distinguish accurately between Weonothland, which is probably Fuehnen, Funen, or Fionio, now called Fyen; and Weonodland or Winodland, afterwards Wendenland. Forst. Denmark obviously, called simply Dene, in the voyages of Ohthere. Probably Bornholm. Called Sueoland in the voyages of Ohthere, is assuredly Sweden, to which all these islands belong.
Farther, when Wulfsten went from Haethum, or Aarhuus to Truso, he had Weonothland, that is Funen, Fionia, or Fyen to his right; and to the left were, Langeland, Laeland, Falster, and Sconeg; together with Bornholm, Bleking, Moehre, Oeland, and Gotland. But Wendenland remained on his right, all the way to the mouth of the Vistula. Forst. Voy. and Disc. 67.
Wulfstan said that he sailed from Haethum to Truso in seven days and nights, the ship being under sail all the time. Weonothland was on his right; but Langaland, Laeland, Falster, and Sconeg, were on the left, all of which belong to Dene-mearkan . Burgendaland also, which has a king of its own, was on the left.
