Hedeby (, Old Norse Heiðabýr, German Haithabu ) was an important trading settlement in the Danish-northern German borderland during the Viking Age.

The only Hrörek described in Western chronicles was Rorik of Dorestad, a konung from the royal Scylding house of Haithabu.

Roerik of Dorestad was born about 810 / 820 to Ali Anulo, 9th King of Haithabu.

This was not enough for him, and he started to plunder neighbouring lands: he took Dorestad in 850, captured Haithabu in 857 and looted Bremen in 859.

Reric was set up around the year 700, but following later warfare between Obodrites and Danes, the merchants were resettled to Haithabu.

Wulfstan of Hedeby ( Latin Haithabu ) was a late ninth century traveller and trader.

Written history in the area began about 800 AD, when the Danish Viking settlement of Haithabu was founded.

There on the narrowest part of southern Jutland was established the important transit market ( Haithabu, also known as Hedeby, near modern Haddeby ), which was protected by the Danevirke fortification.

The wealth of Schleswig, as reflected by impressive archeological finds on the site today, and the taxes from the Haithabu market, was enticing.

A separate kingdom of Haithabu was established around year 900 by the Viking chieftain Olaf from Svealand.

Later Haithabu was burned by Swedes, and first under the reign of King Sweyn Forkbeard ( Svend Tveskæg ) ( 986-1014 ) the situation was stabilised, although raids against Haithabu would be repeated.

Haithabu was once again and ultimately destroyed by fire in 1066.

* Haithabu is the modern German spelling used when referring to the historical settlement, it is also often used in this way in anglophone academic contexts.

While the settlement today referred to as Hedeby / Haithabu lies on the south side of the Schlei inlet, the settlement that grew up at around the same time on the north side has had a continuous history of habitation to modern times, and has now grown into the town known as Schleswig and given its name to the surrounding province.

"" For East Prussia, Truso played the same role as Haithabu ( Slesvig ) or Hedeby for north-western Germany or Slavic Vineta for Pomerania ", Gimbutas has observed.

East-west trade route went from Truso and Wiskiauten ( a rival centre in Prussia which sprang up at the south-western corner of the Courish Lagoon ), along the Baltic Sea to Jutland, and from there up the Slien inlet to Haithabu / Hedeby, a large trading center in Jutland.

Later the neighbouring city of Schleswig took the place of Haithabu and became a powerful town in the 11th century.

Taking into account both archeological findings and Roman sources, however, one could conclude that the Jutes inhabited both the Kongeå region and the more northern part of the peninsula, while the Angles lived approximately where the towns Haithabu and Schleswig later would emerge ( originally centered in the southeast of Schleswig in Angeln ), the Saxons ( earlier known apparently as the Reudingi ) originally centered in Western Holstein ( known historically as " Northalbingia ") and Slavic Wagrians, part of the Obodrites ( Abodrites ) in Eastern Holstein.

* in particular the tax and customs revenues from the market in Haithabu, where all trade between the Baltic Sea and Western Europe passed.
