[edit] Name?

Where is the name of this battle coming from? I have never heard of any "Battle of Hirdal". --Drieakko 16:54, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Seems that the name is based on unverified speculation that "Herdaler" mentioned in the saga would be Hirdal in Ingå. That is unfortunately just one of the many speculations. I'll rename the article as "Battle at Herdaler" unless objected. --Drieakko 17:15, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, the municipality is preparing for big celebrations next year due to this (see link). That is why I named it like this. --MoRsE 18:25, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
As far as I know, that is pretty much a local invention to map Ingå's Hirdal and saga's Herdaler to each other. Do you have objections renaming the article? Naturally the Hirdal speculation as well as other speculations should be mentioned in the article. --Drieakko 18:36, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Renamed it now. --Drieakko 07:15, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
